"And there are the office lads in their first
surtouts, who feel a befitting contempt for boys at day-schools,
club as they go home at night, for saveloys and porter, and think
there's nothing like 'life.'"
saveloy
SYLLABICATION: sav·e·loy
PRONUNCIATION: AUDIO: sv-loi KEY
NOUN: A highly seasoned smoked pork sausage.
ETYMOLOGY: Alteration of obsolete French cervelat, from Italian cervellato, ultimately from dialectal zervello, brain, from Latin cerebellum, diminutive of cerebrum, brain. See ker-1 in Appendix I.

Thank you, Dr. Bill. I'd always assumed that Saveloy was a place.
Funnily enough, there is an Indonesian dish called otak-otak, literally brains, which is actually a kind of fish sausage.
