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 ^[1] and Ireland, often described as an "essential" staple of the fish and chip shop menu. ^[2] They are made up of a pork sausage dipped in batter (usually the same batter used to batter fish), and usually served with chips. ^[3] A meal of battered sausage and chips is usually known as a 'battered sausage supper' in Scotland and Northern Ireland. ^[4]

Australia and New Zealand

In Australia, it may be referred to as a "battered sav" ^[5] ( saveloy is a type of sausage). This may also have given rise to the local expression "fair suck of the sav". ^[6] 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. ^[7]
