ALEX KAPRANOS LIKES TO TASTE THE SAVELOY

No, no, not in any filthy way. He just really likes saveloys from his home town of Sunderland. According to the local paper, anyway:

Generations of Wearsiders have been brought up on the savoury treat ? and despite being the singer of one of Britain's most successful bands, Alex still harks back to his favourite fare.

Alex's favourite is the famous saveloy dip with "everything on" ? strong mustard, pease pudding, sage and onion stuffing and then the smoked saveloy the end of the sandwich being dipped into the rich saveloy stock.

"It's immediate and reassuring, rich and revitalising. I like fast food this way."
