Protecting the Quality of the "Square" Sausage
« on: November 04, 2009, 12:52:18 PM »
It seems that Scottish butchers are trying to preserve the quality of their famous "Lorne" sausage.

Memory tells me that we have spoken of this delicacy in the past and that some dislike it intensely whilst others felt it had a place in the menu.

So ~ is it a good idea to "protect" certain named products with rules governing their provenance or do we not give a toss but buy the things we like irrespective of the "name" it hides under?

Although I know it to be a "Lorne" sausage I have always referred to it as a "Breakfast" sausage to differentiate between it and the "normal" banger. This is mainly because, for some reason, I have never eaten the square 'un other than for brekky but often eat the humble banger for dinner or lunch as well as brekky.

With about 1300 products already registered I might be some time coming to a decision  whistle:

I can see why ~ it is cheap and cheerful AND it makes good sarnies.
