Saveloy | Traditional Cooked Sausage From England, United Kingdom | TasteAtlas

Saveloy

(Sav)

Saveloy is a bright pink, heavily seasoned sausage that is typically served in fish and chip shops throughout the country. Originally, it was made with pork brains, but nowadays it is prepared with a combination of beef, pork, spices, and rusk.


People often compare its flavor with red pudding or frankfurters. Saveloy must be cooked before serving, and it is usually boiled, grilled, or fried in batter. For the best experience, it is recommended to serve it with chips on the side. However, in the North East of England, saveloy is commonly consumed in a sandwich with pease pudding.


This tasty sausage is also popular in New Zealand in Australia, where it’s colloquially known as sav.
