It depends on what the other 15% is. What does the list of ingredients say?

Most British sausages are made with breadcumbs or rusk or other starches like rice flour etc, so would not be induction friendly.

What ingredients are in a lorne sausage?

If you can get hold of plain sausagemeat or ground pork with nothing added you could make your own sausage patties by adding seasonings.

I sometimes make them by grinding up bellypork (which is fattier than chops or pork steak which can make for a very dry sausage).

I think the American breakfast sausage is pork based, with various spices added, and like our sausage, it can be shaped in patties or links. Here's a recipe, just to give you an idea:

You might be able to find a butcher here who makes all meat sausages - the better quality butchers often do. Failing that, you could check out Lidl - our Lidl sells sausages with something like 94% pork.

Most supermarkets have sausages that are just pork/beef and herbs - it just doesn't say it on the front of the label, you have to look at the in gredients list.
