Does anyone know what the meat product I used to eat in the 50s and 60s was called?  A thick sausage in some sort of wrapper, pale pink on the inside eaten as it came in a sandwich or fried.  I think it may have started with a P.

Saveloy??

Polony?

Question Author

Thanks, but not that - we used to get that from the chippy and eat it hot.  This was from the butcher in amongst the sliced meats and black pudding.

Poloney!  That's it, thanks.  How could I forget that?

I'm trying to think of the last time I had a saveloy - over 40 years, I bet.  I preferred a battered sausage from the chippy, it's no wonder I was so fat.  Cod and chips with a battered sausage and a scallop, please.  Don't forget the pickled onions.  (A scallop is a thick round disc of potato about 4" wide, battered and deep fried).

sausage in batter saveloy.. so much grease you could wring it out...tasty though, been many years since iv had one, there was also a round deep fried breaded sausage potato onion thing, can't remeber what it was called, also tasty.

barry - you called it a scallop, in Lancs we called it a dab.

In the US, it's known as baloney...probably derived from Bologna. 

We'd also refer to something as "a load of baloney"...make of that what you will 😉 

We do too, pasta, no idea where that originates.
