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!

The way to tell a good Scotch pie is how far the grease runs down you arm, the further down the better the pie.

So basically if the paper bag it came in now looks like saran wrap than the pie is good to go?

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...

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.

That's precious info ! Thank you.
Maybe we could start a new thread with recipes !

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