In the UK, sausage sandwiches (Sausage sarnie or butty in UK (English) slang, or 'Piece 'n' Sausage' in UK (Scottish) slang) can typically be found in greasy spoons (workers' cafés) and many roadside food stalls. They are also made at home, as a classic post-hangover pick-me-up.

Sausages served in a bread roll or hot dog bun in the UK, especially at barbecues are usually known as hot dogs.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    It was evident that, both on account of the feudal system and the aristocratic government, a private man was not worth so much in Canada as in the United States; and, if your wealth in any measure consists in manliness, in originality and independence, you had better stay here. How could a peaceable, freethinking man live neighbor to the Forty-ninth Regiment? A New-Englander would naturally be a bad citizen, probably a rebel, there,—certainly if he were already a rebel at home.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the kingdom of consumption the citizen is king. A democratic monarchy: equality before consumption, fraternity in consumption, and freedom through consumption. The dictatorship of consumer goods has finally destroyed the barriers of blood, lineage and race.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
