Before you read this...yes, I know, I am a bit looney tunes. I got to tell someone, so I'll put it here, maybe someone -like me- will search online and find this one day.
Saveloy is a type of highly seasoned sausage, usually bright red, normally boiled. Saveloys are precooked so can be eaten hot or cold.
I tried Sainsbury's saveloys a few weeks ago and liked them so I have since bought a few more. This has led me on a quest to try all different types of saveloy. Rated out of 5
:):):):) I may amend the ratings as I find more to try and each time I find another readily available source I will update this post.
Online you will see catering supplies selling 4Kg frozen for £8, I won't be trying these. Not sure if I could even if I wanted to.
Sainsbury's deli counter - bright red and about 4 - 5 inches dunno the weight yet. 40p each, proper saveloy taste.
Appearance

Taste..........:):):):):)
Cost...........:):):)
Tesco deli counter - dull orange, about 6 inches, 65g, 40p, bland no taste at all, what a disappointment, I almost did not buy based on appearance alone but I had to give them the benefit of the doubt..how wrong I was to do that.

Next stop Makro,
That's it so far, but I will try more. If you know of any national supplies available locally let me know..eg ASDA Morrisons, Lidl etc

MAKRO - don't sell them
ASDA don't sell them...they don't even have a butchers counter! I can't believe that, and I went to 2 stores one smallish and the other was a massive one. They don't stock the Dickson's anymore (if they ever did nationwide).
ALDI don't sell them
LIDL don't sell them
Next stop Iceland and Morrisons

The best present day savaloy is from Dicksons butchers (not sure if only a north east chain).
And it has to be in a savaloy dip .. savaloy, Stottie bun, peas pudding and top dipped in the water mmmmmm x

Saveloys, the Devils food. :eek::eek:
Used to see then in my local chippie.The more I live, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the more I grow.
The more I grow, the more I see.
The more I see, the more I know.

Best way to cook..in lightly salted water barely boiling..then remove from water allow steam to dry off, wrap in foil and place in oven until you get that bit of "snap" from the skin.
Agree Sainsburys are the best..may be tempted this Friday..Over £2K made from bank switches and P2P incentives since 2016 :beer:0
