How deep would the ocean be if sponges didn't grow in it?


“I only drink for medical purposes. I’m sick of being sober.”


Peace of mind for you and


your family


If you were Paul McCartney or Elton John and you were in the mood to write a new song, what subject would you choose ? A Scotch Egg ? Probably the last subject you’d think of. But there is a new song doing the rounds about scotch eggs, with some brilliant lyrics such as “ What’s that on your leg, is it a scotch egg ?” So we thought we’d do a little article about this tasty morsel. A Scotch egg consists of a shelled hard-boiled egg, wrapped in a sausage meat mixture, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. Scotch eggs are commonly eaten cold, typically with salad and pickles. But apparently they have nothing to do with Scotland. The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738, but they may have been inspired by the Moghul dish nargisi kofta ("Narcissus meatballs"). The earliest printed recipe is the 1809 edition of Mrs. Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery. Mrs. Rundell - and later 19th-century authors - served them hot, with gravy. Scotch eggs are usually a picnic food and home-made. In the UK, pre-packed, plastic-wrapped Scotch eggs are commonly available in supermarkets, convenience stores and motorway service stations. Miniature versions of Scotch eggs are also widely available in British supermarkets, and are sold under the name 'savoury eggs', 'picnic eggs', 'party eggs', 'snack eggs' or similar. These contain a chopped, rather than whole, egg filling, sometimes combined with mayonnaise or chopped bacon. Several local variations exist, such as the "Manchester egg" which uses a pickled egg wrapped in a mixture of pork meat and Lancashire black pudding, and the Worcester Egg, where the egg is first pickled in Worcestershire Sauce and then clad in a mixture of local sausage meat and white pudding. Yuck.
