scottsdad Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I just wanted to say I ate well yesterday. Brown sauce on my roll, and i came away with a mix of scotch pies, steak slices, sausage rolls and a big pie for tonight's dinner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit pedantic but if the sausage/black pudding is put inside the roll, then the roll is on the sausage/black pudding. Schrodinger's roll, maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must you divide the halves of the roll, or leave them connected? So many questions, so few clear answers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why this is contentious - we happily say mince pie rather than mince in a pie and not a word of rebuke is spoken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue here is folk like me being raised in town where "roll on sausage", "roll on bacon" and so on were common enough phrases, and folk from other towns foaming at the mouth about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop this outbreak of pedantry. Debating the respective merits of roll "on", "in" or "and" sausage is a pointless exercise... It'll look a damn sight worse once you've eaten it. Get it roon yie and glory in the excellence of Scottish cuisine!

Take away the mince and you don't have a pie, you have a pastry shell. Take the sausage out of a roll-and/on-sausage and you still have a roll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah...your argument falls at the 1st hurdle because you can't take the sausage out of a roll and/on sausage as the sausage is as integral a part of that food item as the mince in a mince pie. If you ordered a roll and/on sausage in a cafe and they said "Sorry, no sausages would you mind just having the roll?" I'm pretty sure you'd say thanks, but no thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, bin the square sausage and get a bit of Lorne on it instead. Now, I've just seen I said Lorne on it rather than in it, an anomalous use of the language rather a mistake I'd say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realised I have no rolls, so lunch will be a square sausage sandwich. With brown sauce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
