champers Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Coriander? Yuk!! Keep that muck away from a sausage. Mace will be better than nutmeg, if available. Square sausages are Scotland's greatest invention; ideal for sausage butties with fried onions and mustard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxx Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Thai nutmeg, available in supermarkets, is different from "regular" nutmeg: it's incredibly hard and almost impossible to grate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan1 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 As ever if you look on Lazda you can buy ground Nutmeg. I use it for baking ............. off to make a Custard Tart with Nutmeg topping (just like my mother made) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Sliced white is the bread of choice, lightly toasted if you fancy. Round baps are for sausage burgers. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Since nutmeg and coriander (cilantro) are not native to Scotland, why is it called Scottish? Is this more Sassenach messing about with our traditional. plain Lorne sausage? Onywye, back tae ma porridge....

And yet haggis contains not only nutmeg (Indonesian), coriander (Iran), and pepper (south Asia) and there's nothing more Scottish than a haggis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No skin or casing, heavily compressed in a square-formed pan or similar before slicing. Now, ask me one on (tasteless) haggis.

I know why the Scots drink whisky with it. Not quite. Meatloaf is meatloaf, Lorne sausage is Lorne sausage, "and ne'er the twain shall meet". Meatloaf is cooked in the pan and sliced after cooking whereas Lorne sausage is compressed and then sliced before cooking. Obviously picked the wrong scotch. The only scotch that truly compliments haggis (even my bland one) is The Famous Grouse. Edited March 25, 2020 by NanLaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
