British battered sausage
The battered sausage is a standard menu item in fish and chip shops across Great Britain,[1] often described as an "essential" staple of the fish and chip shop menu.[2] They consist of a pork sausage dipped in batter (usually the same batter used to batter fish), and usually served with chips.[3]
Australia and New Zealand
In Australia, it may be referred to as a "battered sav"[4] (saveloy is a type of sausage). This may also have given rise to the local expression "fair suck of the sav".[5] In New Zealand, they can be found either with or without a stick inserted (similar to a corn dog). If served with the stick, it is referred to as a hot dog and usually dipped in a generous amount of tomato sauce and consumed immediately. In Australia, this variant may also be referred to as a Pluto Pup or a Dagwood Dog.
