Lorne sausage, also known as square sausage, is a traditional Scottish breakfast staple shaped into rectangular slices rather than links. Made primarily from minced meat, typically pork or beef, combined with rusk (a type of wheat-based filler), and seasoned with salt and spices, it showcases the hearty flavors of Scottish cuisine. While its protein content provides energy and satiety, the inclusion of rusk and fat yields a higher calorie and carbohydrate count compared to leaner meats. Lorne sausage is often fried or grilled, which can increase its fat content depending on preparation methods. Though rich in flavor and a popular indulgence, moderation is advised for those watching sodium and saturated fat intake. Often served alongside eggs, beans, and toast, it captures the comforting and robust essence of Scotland's culinary heritage while being a treat best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
