Sliced Suasage
My Dad's Recipe
Sliced sausage (also called square sausage) is one of the best-kept Scottish secrets – it is a simple mixture of ground beef, egg and mace. It wouldn’t be Christmas morning without the aroma of flat sausage being fried by my dad.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
3 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp mace
2 eggs
1 1/2 to 2 cups bread-crumbs
1/2 cup water- add as required
Preparation:
Place all the ingredients except the water into a bowl and mix. Add water as required so mixture isn't too dry. Pat the mixture into a buttered loaf pan and put into the freezer for an hour. Remove from the freezer after an hour, pop out of loaf pan and cut into thin slices (1/2 Inch thick). Store flat in the freezer. To cook, defrost and fry in hot pan.

Michael Clark
Michael is a banker with a love for bread. His desire was kindled by morning visits to a local bakery while holidaying in France. He was struck by the passion of the bakers and the simplicity of hand made bread— 4 ingredients; flour, salt, water and yeast. He soon found himself experimenting in his own kitchen, before recruiting a master baker to show him the ropes. Wanting a taste of the real thing, he traded his holidays for midnight shifts in one of Canada's leading artisan bread bakeries. To quote Michael, “there is nothing more satisfying then the solitude of waking up early, hand kneading the dough, smelling the aromas coming from the oven and then slathering a hot piece of bread with some delicious butter”. An avid traveler, he seeks out crusty loaves and the people who make them around world. When not working in The City, Michael can be found in his London kitchen or his local pub
