message: Removed "stub". For a sausage I think the article is exhaustive.

message: I think it's worth noting that it's difficult find saveloy for sale much further north than London. Certainly, they're common in London and around the south-coast, but otherwise they're difficult to source. Many people I know have never heard of them, even those from south England. I'm not sure where this should go in the article though.

replies: text: A smoked sausage is more akin to various continental sausages (in e.g. Germany, Belgium and Poland), notably bigger, distinct in flavour and, in my view, pleasant; all distinguishing features from a saveloy. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:58, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the popular culture section. Feel free to put it back in again, but edit it to get rid of all the trivial references. The point of such sections is to show where the item has had an impact on everyday life, not to list every reference to it ever made in works of art, etc. Otherwise what about everything else? Does every song that ever mentions a sausage get into the sausage article, everything anyone's ever said about a chipolata get into the chipolata article?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.140.238.190 (talk • contribs) 1st May 2008
:I've just re-deleted it, as it was pretty much just a list of quotes where anyone had said the word "saveloy". The editor who readded in early June said that a list of such mentions "may be what people are looking for when looking up the word savaloy" - as explained in WP:NOTDIR, Wikipedia is not the place for a list of quotes about a subject. --McGeddon (talk) 14:10, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I've never even HEARD of a saveloy being seved in a fish & chip shop, never mind it being the automatic sausage for a hotdog in England/Britain. I have lived in Cumbria and been given a hotdog when I asked for one, a sausage when I asked for one, and a battered sausage when I asked for one; and in Glasgow and been given a hotdog when I asked for one, and a battered sausage when I asked for a sausage. The 'sausages' that I've been given are just that - over-processed and horribly (for which read deliciously) salty - but a sausage all the same. Not a saveloy. Sorry to get so uptight. Who wrote this? Maybe only say this is true for places you've been to and experienced this? FlannyBabes (talk) 18:05, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's pretty much the default sausage of choice in a Fish and Chip in the South East...in fact, proper Saveloys are hard to find anywhere else.--Nozzer71 (talk) 10:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I'd not regard a picture from Flickr.com as a reliable reference for the naming of the battered sav. Van Dieman (talk) 08:41, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, this is just the opinion of one internet user - I've removed it. You should be WP:BOLD and remove anything that isn't a reliable source. --McGeddon (talk) 13:22, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  battered sav 

message: Despite reference to " a pig brain sausage particularly associated with Switzerland", the article doesn't actually say what a saveloy is made of, which thing seems important. Czrisher (talk) 20:14, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

message: This was just stuck at the bottom of the article, so I've trimmed it out - but there may be something worth investigating here. Snori (talk) 08:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
