Square or Lorne sausage is Glasgow's breakfast: a flat, peppery beef sausage sliced from a block and fried, then folded into a floury morning roll. The roll-and-square is the city's daily ritual.

The Lorne or square sausage, a flat slab of seasoned beef sliced from a loaf-shaped block, is a Scottish breakfast staple said to be named after the music-hall comedian Tommy Lorne. Fried and folded into a floury morning roll, the roll-and-square is Glasgow's everyday breakfast, sold in cafes and vans across the city, including the century-old University Cafe on Byres Road.
