A saveloy is a type of highly seasoned pork sausage, usually bright red in colour, which is served in English fish and chip shops, sometimes fried in batter. The word is assumed to originate from the Swiss-French cervelas or servelat, ultimately from Latin cerebrus; originally a pork brain sausage particularly associated with Switzerland. The saveloy's taste is similar to that of a frankfurter or red pudding.
