does it come in a square shape, looking like raw mince? and is it fried or cooked? can I see a picture of someone actually eating it, please? [/quote]
that's how it looks before being fried. the tartan is optional |

do it! but please call it "what we (would) miss from back home" or sth like that, so the non-expats in boardieland aren't excluded ;)
Ok, watch this space! |

do you also have this?:
It comes out in two colours, like two-coloured toothpaste.
every time I see someone eating ketchup AND mayo, I think "well this LOOKS nice", but then I remember the taste and go for ketchup only ;-)
We do not have that here. That looks kind of gross. See fry sauce is no good unless you mix it all up so it's one color. |

I go into a meeting and come back and this is 3 pages long!
As a Scottish person living in Canada, I should get Tracy to translate things from Scottish to Canadian for me!
So, we have concluded today that brown sauce = HP sauce = steak sauce! |

Does anyone actually know what brown sauce is made of? It's a very odd accompaniment to a meal. Although it does go well with scrambled eggs and toast.
This is why I love this board lol :-P |

I think for the "continental European" version of brown sauce, you need some beef or veal (plus bones), veal stock, flour, onions, tomato puree, all kinds of herbs, white wine, butter, ... and probably ten more ingredients, lol. |

We used to call it Square Slice or Square Sausage, I believe it's also known as Lorne Sausage, You can really only get what we at home would call "links" here in Dublin, i.e. Linked Sausage.
The square shape makes it ideal for a sandwich using Mothers Pride Plain Bread "pronounced Breed" or what we would call Rolls but everyone else calls a Bap, When I used to work on building sites my staple breakfast was two "Rolls" 'n' Sausage(square), Egg(fried) & Tattie Scone. A large cup of Tea, a Jam & Butter Scone, Two packets of Hula Hoops and a Twix.

why does everyone have their own word for this small item of food??
It's the same within Germany, they just cannot accept that the Bavarian name for a roll/bap/bun/whatever is the correct one *sigh*. |
