SAVELOY Meaning and Definition

1. A saveloy is a type of highly seasoned, cured sausage that is often consumed as a snack or as part of a meal. It originated in Britain and is commonly found in traditional fish and chip shops.

   Typically made from a mixture of pork meat and fat, as well as other ingredients like flour, herbs, spices, and rusk, saveloys are packed into a thick pig's intestine casing. They are then cooked by boiling or frying until they are fully heated and the casing has a slightly crisp texture. The end result is a firm and flavorful sausage that is bright red in color.

   Saveloys are known for their distinctive taste, which is often described as smoky, spicy, and tangy. Additionally, they have a soft and juicy texture that is complemented by the crispy casing. They are commonly enjoyed on their own, served with mustard or ketchup, or as part of a larger dish such as fish and chips or sausage and mash.

   While saveloys are popular in the United Kingdom, they can also be found in other countries with British culinary influences. They are often sold in fish and chip shops, at outdoor food stalls, or in supermarket deli counters. Saveloys are considered a comfort food and are a favorite among many for their flavorful and satisfying taste.

2. A kind of sausage, sold ready cooked.
