7 November 2018

The square sausage – .

Most breakfasts and evening wedding buffets in Scotland contain the square (also known as ‘lorne’) sausage.

It’s a pork & beef mixture, minced and mixed with spices and rusk.

But its meaty nature means that vegans have been unable to embrace the tradition ...until now!

As part of The Social’s series sharing recipes for vegan versions of Scotland’s finest(?) culinary inventions, AJ Greenway started his blender up and got to work.

Square sausage gets the Here We Vegan Go treatment.

Why would you have a big thing that is long and roly poly? Square sausage fits on the bread!
