Lorne Sausage (2024)

Description

Macbeth’s classic Lorne sausage – a traditional scottish square sausage. Essential for cooked breakfasts or in a breakfast roll. The recipe is the same as that of our beef sausage and shaped using a bread loaf pan!! This means it is a larger slice than most that are produced – well you wouldn’t want it any smaller?! It is available as slices or in blocks but please note the blocks of lorne are not sliced unless by request.

Ingredients: 67% Beef, Rusk (wheat flour, salt), Wheat Flour, Salt, Flavour Enhancer E621, Dextrose, Stabilisers E450, Preservative Sodium Sulphite, Antioxidant E301 & E331, Spice Extracts, Colour E120, Herb Extract (Thyme)

    Had to follow up to my first order, I have now bought another kilo all for me!, just love them, a bit fattening so I cut down on other foods. Have bought some burgers to try [usually I order from Donald Russell] and steaks will be my next try, I am sure they will be great too.

    This is truly amazing “square sausage” and have 3kg sent to me in Bath every few months. A slice of this, then a slice of black pudding with a small egg on top is an fantastic start to any day.

    My partner is English but, having been introduced to Macbeth’s Lorne Sausage, this is a staple item in our freezer here in Oxfordshire. Fabulous flavour and so much healthier than imitations!

    living in Coventry its almost impossible to find a good lorne sausage and those supermarket pack of 10 stuff well i just stay clear of them so googled and Macbeths came up first with great reviews. always a bit wary with prefect reviews but gave it a go . ordered the 2kg block arrived right when said it would in prefect condition . cut into 4 big blocks 3 for freezer and one for now .cut 2 slices for breakfast and it was heaven to have that real taste again don’t think that first block will last the week as intended. certainly understand and agree with the perfect review score now and will go know else for my lorne from now on

    One of my Glaswegian best friends always complained that she couldn’t get hold of any square sausage in England so I was determined to find a butchers that delivered… and so I found Macbeths! I’ve got a taste for it myself now so will definitely be ordering again. Great recipe and speedy delivery. Highly recommended!

    Once tried, never forgotten. Even if you do not like conventional sausages, this will convert you. It is so good that vegetarians could become meat eaters if they tried it.
