vikingTON Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 As if Hogmanay/New Year’s wasn’t an overblown and therefore irritating holiday to begin with, it seems that the traditional sentiment of well wishes and hospitality to others has been replaced by a self-obsessed need to publicise your achievements/highs/lows of the year (decade). It’s descended into an extended Christmas card message/‘you look gr8 *** x’ exercise for wankers. Get it in the sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Why don't they make link sausages square shaped so they don't roll about the pan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 1 hour ago, the snudge said: Why don't they make link sausages square shaped so they don't roll about the pan? They're often a sort of irregular quadrilateral in section if they're pre-packed and stacked. The issue is the distribution of forces when the fluids inside expand on cooking. Like a bubble, they push out and make the shape tend towards spherical. You would need a rigid skin to maintain edges, but that would mean that the whole manufacturing process would have to change as they couldn't be twisted and knotted in the same way. There might be enough ocd punters to create a market, but I suspect that most people just don't mind their sausages rolling a bit. Therefore there probably isn't enough of a payoff to justify the investment in R&D and new plant. You did ask. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did ask. sausages with a slight bend to them have their centre of gravity offset and so are less likely to roll around The logical extension of this is the traditional Cumberland sausage which takes the form of a frying pan sized spiral It’s simultaneously one long link sausage and yet also flat combining the non rolling aspects of the square sausage with the actually tasting nice aspect of link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
