Popular toppings include mustard, brown sauce/steak sauce, peppers, onions, sauerkraut, chili, salsa, and tomato sauce. A sausage sandwich may also be sold as a hot dog.
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.
It is a breakfast favourite although it may be purchased and consumed at any time of the day. Popular combinations are sausage and bacon, sausage and egg, sausage and fried onions and sausage and tomato.
