Battered sausage

Battered sausages are a type of sausage found all across the United Kingdom, Ireland, 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 and Ireland, often described as an "essential" staple of the fish and chip shop menu. They are made up of a pork sausage dipped in batter, and usually served with chips. 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". 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. 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.
