    Just as a point of interest - a sav is referring to a saveloy. You will sometimes here this expression used as "Fair suck of the sausage."

    A saveloy is a type of highly seasoned pork sausage, usually bright red in colour, which is served in Southern English fish and chip shops, sometimes fried in batter. The word comes from the French cervelas, a pork sausage, at one time sometimes made from pigs' brains.

    The saveloy is available in Australia, usually battered and known as a "battered sav".
