Scotch Eggs
Just a general discussion about Scotch Eggs.
My main points are... 1.- they are basically the equivalent of modern day breakfast bars. Apparently they are over two hundred years old. 2.- I don't think I have ever fully enjoyed one. They are usually fairly tasty buy then there's nearly always a bit where I bite and the consistency feels a bit "strange". |

Saw picture of pudding scotch eggs on FB. The middle was a cream egg surrounded by brownie and dusted with cocoa powder. Looked great, calorific though!

Challenges I found were cooking everything, so I pre-cook the bacon, egg, black pudding first. Then it's just getting the sausage meat cooked. And keeping the two halves together!

Pfft.. For calories, get a large easter egg mould. Coat inside with seasoned breadcrumbs. Line with sausage meat. Line again with bacon. Fill with eggs, beans, black pudding. Deep fry, and enjoy breakfast!

Ever seen a scotch egg recipe on an US website? Very interesting, they go mad for this strange new food.

They're actually a starter in this year's Valentine Dine In. But you can buy them on their own if you're not wanting the deal. http://www.marksandspencer.com/s/food-and-wine/dine-in |

I actually felt my arteries harden just reading that! 😂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...e_altamura.jpg I make more conventional scotch eggs with the egg wrapped in bacon. When the bacon's on the inside, pre-cooking the bacon is safer

Manchester eggs are a winner. Basically a scotch egg made with a pickled egg, sausage meat and black pudding.

I had a venison scotch egg recently. It was lovely.
However, it was a little dear....

My local bakery makes them every Thursday - go down about lunchtime and they are warm and fresh. Divine.

My local butcher makes fantastic scotch eggs but they have won several awards for their sausages so hardly surprising.
