The word is believed to originate from the Swiss-French cervelas or servelat, ultimately from the Latin cerebrus; originally a pig brain sausage particularly associated with Switzerland. Although the saveloy was originally made from pork brains, the typical ingredients from a store bought saussage are now pork, water, rusk, British pork fat, potato starch, salt, emulsifiers, white pepper, spices, dried sage, preservatives, beef collagen casing contains colour. Rusk contains: wheat flour, salt. Wheat flour contains: wheat flour, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin. The taste of a saveloy is similar to that of a frankfurter or red pudding. It is mostly eaten with chips. The saveloy is available in Australia where it is consumed at fairs fêtes, agricultural shows and sporting events, served on a slice of bread or in a bread roll and liberally covered in tomato sauce.
