Battered sausages are a type of sausage found all across Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
British and Irish battered sausage
The battered sausage is a standard menu item in fish and chip shops across the United Kingdom
[Serving style, with photograph, at Parkers British food website.] and Ireland, often described as an "essential" staple of the fish and chip shop menu.
[See, for example, Fry Magazine's description.] They are made up of a
pork sausage dipped in batter (usually the same batter used to batter fish), and usually served with
French fries.
A meal of battered sausage and chips is usually known as a 'battered sausage supper' in Scotland and
Northern Ireland.
Australia and New Zealand
In Australia, it may be referred to as a "battered sav"
(
saveloy is a type of sausage). This may also have given rise to the local expression "fair suck of the sav".
In New Zealand, they can be found either with or without a stick inserted (similar to a
corn dog). In Australia if served with the stick, it is referred to as a "pluto pup" or "dagwood dog" and usually dipped in a generous amount of tomato sauce.
