Help on some Scottish food to sample

[Grizzly]

Okay let's make this clear. As Vmac has already explained Scotch eggs are not Scottish, never have been and never will be.

They are hard boiled eggs covered in sausagemeat, dipped in beaten egg then rolled in breadcrumbs. They are then deep fried in oil until golden brown. The cooking method is called Scotching, hence scotched eggs, which has been shortened to scotch eggs.

It is reported that they were invented in London in 1738 by Fortnum & Mason possibly based upon an Indian dish of eggs coated in mincemeat.

Hope this clarifies.
