Can anyone tell me how to make Scotch eggs? :blushing:

 

[lostprophet]

well you need to get 2 chickens and let nature takes it course ;-) then you have a few eggs, then take them to Scotland and there you have it, Scotch eggs!

Ha. Ha. Ha. :greenpbl:

Thank you Chris

The BBC Food site is very useful for all sorts of stuff like that. You can even give it a list of ingredients and it will find you something to make with them - ideal for the well stocked but unimaginative of us.

That sounds like an awesome tool!!!!! I would totally take advantage of that!

You want to make Scotch Eggs?
Do you not know that they were invented by canteens to put off people from eating in them? The things are unpleasant and lethal!

I've always thought they were table decoration, a bit like the ice sculptures you get in posh hotels, but a cheaper version for the prolatariat (they hardly know the difference you know).

Scotch Eggs are nice

Ah yes well they are obligatory in recreating years 0 - 4 in my husband's life. All part of my grand birthday celebration plans for him.

is it just me, or does most english food seem a bit on the greasy and repulsive side? take black pudding for instance... yummy congealed pig blood. Then again, i'm sure you brits have the same feeling about american food. Head cheese comes to mind, mc donald's burgers, spam (o.k i admit i like the stuff), potted meat product (made from the finest lips, spleens, organs, and arseholes), and innocent fruit suspended in jello (hey, i like this one too).

yes, i'm a bit ignorant. afterall, i've never tried scotch eggs, bubble and squeak (what a name for a food. is that what it did before it died or what it will do in your stomach?) and toad in the hole. i think i stepped in it here... i'll shut up now

Yikes! You're afraid of Brit food and you eat something called potted meat product?? That sounds absolutely vile

Us Brits would have called it something like 'bloater paste' at least :lmao:

There are three different types of British cuisine.
Fast food - which in anyone's language is a euphemism for cr*p.
Traditional food - which is actually very good (mostly) but has fallen into disuse.
Poor people's food - for a long time a large section of British society couldn't afford much* in the way of ingredients so had to be inventive. So you get meals like Scouse and blind Scouse (just like scouse but without the meat), Yorkshire pudding/toad in the hole (cheap and filling. And Yorkshires were traditionally served with gravy before the main course to fill you up) and left-over recipes like bubble and squeak (mashed potato and cooked cabbage fried in bacon fat).
There are many others but i'm sure you get the picture.
