Look I'm from the south and I love deep fried food. But you people are taking this shit way to far.

10/16/2009 8:08:26 AM

it doesn't look appetizing, but i can't really see how it would be gross if you:

1.) like soft-boiled eggs, and
2.) like fried batter

there's not a lot of surprises in what it's going to taste like, IMO

^ That's what I thought, but that simply wasn't the case

Quote :

"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. Scotch eggs were traditionally a picnic food and homemade. In the UK, pre-packed, plastic-wrapped Scotch eggs are commonly available in supermarkets, convenience stores and motorway service stations. In the United States, many "English-style" pubs and eateries serve fresh-made Scotch eggs. These are usually served hot, with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, hot sauce,[1] or hot mustard sauce. At the Minnesota State Fair, true to fair tradition, Scotch eggs are served on a stick. When making Scotch eggs at home, cooks may fry and then bake or microwave the Scotch eggs to ensure that the sausage is cooked all the way through. 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. In West Africa, some fast-food restaurants offer Scotch eggs alongside their other menu items. In Nigeria, Tantalizers and Mr. Biggs both prominently feature Scotch eggs. Some of Britain's culinary favourites also crossed over to the Indian sub-continent and there is a popular Indian dish called nargisi kofta also known in English as Curried Scotch Eggs. The spices used suggest a Moghul influence."

interesting

Scotch eggs sound like a perfect tailgate menu item.

I might try to make these for the next game.

10/16/2009 10:11:51 AM

The fact that it's a seemingly random food that was battered and deep fried made me think this was at the fair, but the plate makes me think Japan.

Is the state fair in Japan now?

10/16/2009 10:12:15 AM

i love tempura

and if it was a hard-boiled egg i think i'd be alright with it. but soft-boiled is

10/16/2009 10:14:05 AM

Tempura is good, I've considered making it myself but never have

10/16/2009 1:52:32 PM

Ha ha, I was getting ready to explain. My boss brings Scotch eggs to work a lot, and I don't like eggs or sausage, but for some reason these are goooooooooood.
