Scotch pie

[berserkbishop]

mmmm. Scotch eggs. First and only time I had one was at the St. Louis games but it was delicious. A heart attack waiting to happen!

Back on the seventeenth, I ended up at a quiet little diner and they had corn beef and cabbage with rashers... MMMM, but whatI'm thinking now, is make a pie with the corn beef and rashers and cabbage all cut up in it, then put a scotch egg on top... Some hashed potatos or something like that, to close off the top, then a little extra bacon grease just to make it easy to swallow...

I've always just called it a Scotch pie, myself. Just luck Scotch eggs.
Oh, how I miss Scotch pies. They're the best.

You miss them? I would think if anywhere they could easily be gotten in Glasgow. Or is it that the cholesterol content has banished them from your diet?

I hadn't heard the term "Scotch Pie." Sounds like the meat pies I buy whenever I'm at Scottish Festivals or games, though these have beef, not mutton.

As for Scotch eggs, I make them once in awhile. Now that you guys have me thinking about them, I may have to fry some up this weekend.

Ted, here is the Wikipedia entry on Scotch Eggs.
A Scotch egg consists of a cold, hard-boiled egg removed from its shell, wrapped in a sausage meat mixture, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried.

I get them from a local pub called "the Stonehouse Pub", they also make a very good Haggis.

You're a fortunate man !
I'll try making my own... Any savoury with the bread crumbs ?

Season the bread crumbs to your own taste. I usually use pre-packaged Italian-style bread crumbs.

You'll need a quarter-pound of sausage for each egg. I use breakfast sausage, but you can use whatever soft sausage you prefer. I find a one-pound roll of breakfast sausage is perfect for four eggs.

I cook mine in a deep fryer.

Thanks for posting that. I used to do something like that with egg slices and bacon back in college.
