Remarks

You can use capers instead of gherkins.

[Translator's note: the cervelas, so beloved of the Swiss, inspired the saveloy: that highly seasoned sausage, originally made with brains, now more of an overgrown frankfurter, served with chips as a staple of British takeaway fare.].

Keeping: A few days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
