Anyone know where I can get nutmeg and coriander to use in making Scottish square sausage?

Possum, there is an outfit in Bangkok called Zing street, they have all sorts of Indian spices.

They have a website, deliver all over the country, good stuff at very reasonable prices, i use them myself.

Makro has a wide range of dried spices,but I don't

remember seeing Nutmeg.

regards Worgeordie

Lotus and Big C both sell the small bottles. El Avion or Tesco own...that's Pattaya

I'd like to volunteer to test your first batch.

Coriander? Yuk!! Keep that muck away from a sausage. Mace will be better than nutmeg, if available. Square sausages are Scotland's greatest invention; ideal for sausage butties with fried onions and mustard.

Thai nutmeg, available in supermarkets, is different from "regular" nutmeg:  it's incredibly hard and almost impossible to grate.

As ever if you look on Lazda you can buy ground Nutmeg.

I use it for baking ............. off to make a Custard Tart with Nutmeg topping (just like my mother made)

Unless you are putting them on a round bap, then you'll get the corners sticking out.   LOL

Sliced white is the bread of choice, lightly toasted if you fancy. Round baps are for sausage burgers. ????

Since nutmeg and coriander (cilantro) are not native to Scotland, why is it called Scottish?

 

Is this more Sassenach messing about with our traditional. plain Lorne sausage?

 

Onywye, back tae ma porridge....

You mean like a Wendy's burger patty (in the US)?

And yet haggis contains not only nutmeg (Indonesian), coriander (Iran), and pepper (south Asia) and there's nothing more Scottish than a haggis.

Not in MY (traditional, bland and tasteless) bloody haggis there isn't!

How the hell do you make a square sausage?

No skin or casing, heavily compressed in a square-formed pan or similar before slicing.

 

Now, ask me one on (tasteless) haggis.

Then it's not a sausage, it's a rectangular meatloaf.

Tried haggis twice. I know why the Scots drink whisky with it.

Not quite. Meatloaf is meatloaf, Lorne sausage is Lorne sausage, "and ne'er the twain shall meet". Meatloaf is cooked in the pan and sliced after cooking whereas Lorne sausage is compressed and then sliced before cooking.

 

Obviously picked the wrong scotch. The only scotch that truly compliments haggis (even my bland one) is The Famous Grouse.
