Product Information

Either that, or the butcher had a very dry sense of humour by likening the texture to a Lorne shoe.

Roughly dice your beef or substitute meat like sausages. You can see our variations below for some different ideas. Some people also use sausages to make up the difference if you need extra meat. Of course, there is contention about the origins of the name “Lorne Sausage” as well. A popular story is that it was because of Glaswegian comedian Tommy Lorne, who made jokes about square sausages looking a bit like doormats. Put the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the nutmeg, mace, salt and pepper and stir to combine. 💭 Top TipThe Marquess of Lorne was famous in the 19th century for marrying ­Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, which became a major national event in 1871. The exact origins of Lorne sausage, like many traditional Scottish foods, is unclear. It’s likely it was in the latter 19th century when metal tins also became more popular, and it would have been cheaper to shape the sausage in these than in a casing. Why is it called Lorne Sausage? Season with salt and pepper. Only stir at this point, so that the onion caramelises and the potatoes break down when you stir. You can use it immediately, put it in the fridge to be used within the next 2 days, or put pieces of baking paper between slices and place them in a container to fully freeze and pull out to use as you wish. When foaming, add the eggs and season with salt. Slowly draw a spatula through the eggs a few times as they set. Remove from the pan while the eggs are still a little runny.

Some people may have a hard time with the shape of this sausage for a couple of reasons: it’s not in the shape of a “normal” sausage, and even though it’s called square, it’s truly never exactly square. A Lorne sausage is traditionally made from a mixture of minced beef, rusk or fine breadcrumbs, and spices. Although beef has historically been the more common meat used for sausages in Scotland, pork could be used to make square sausages too! Our own Lorne sausage is made from high quality cuts of UK beef mixed with our own blend of spices and seasoning. Squareful now…It may have got it's name from Lorn in Scotland, but it is not possible to prove that it originated there. Tinned Corned Beef is readily available and a pantry staple for some, so it’s easy to see why it would act as another meat option for Stovies.
