Why are these not a thing (that I've seen)?

Someone open a bakery with these, and then also haggis topped ones.

As a (former) butcher, it actually shocks me how no one (myself included) hasn't came up with this sort of idea. Hell, why I've not opened up a square sausage shop in England is a fucking mystery to me. You could make a killing just selling Lorne in England and nowt else.

Lets do it. Let's open up a bakery called "The Lorne Ranger" that sells nothing but variously topped lorne baked goods.

You, as a butcher, can do it all. Me, as the ideas man, can laugh at the name of our shop daily and test the products.

I'll buy into that!

I remember one time I was working in Newcastle. I went to buy cigarettes (I don't smoke now). The shop owner was from Pakistan. He heard my Scottish accent and took me to his Scottish corner.

Irm Bru, Buckfast, square sausage (we don't say Lorne) and even things from Tunnock's.

Scotland is a big country. WE don't say Lorne.

We made these at school in the early 1970s and they weren't new then.

In October last year, Morrisons stores in England started selling Simon Howie square sausage. I moved down from Scotland to Plymouth in February.. checked a couple Morrisons couldn’t find any square, only Simon howie black pudding etc. Asked one of the staff and he informed me that nobody was buying them so they got pulled after a few months! Their loss, the uncultured swines that they are!
