Square Sausage is a food product most often enjoyed in Scotland and North East England. Sausage meat – which may be pork, beef, or a mixture of the two – is set into a square and sliced into pieces generally about 3 inches (76 mm) square by about 1⁄2 in (13 mm) thick. The sausage is rarely a perfect square given the minced state of the meat, which is often bound with other ingredients such as rusk.
Square Sausage remains a favourite in Scottish cooked breakfasts and is often eaten in a bread roll. The square sliced sausage is also the ideal size to make a sandwich using one or two slices from a Scottish plain loaf.
