Scotch eggs

[monty]

I know this sounds silly, but I've been craving a scotch egg for over a week now and haven't been able to find any. Has anyone had one since they've been here and if so do they taste the same. LOL

G'day

I buy scotch eggs from our local Woolworths and they're very good - much better than the one's in Coles.

i am no gordon ramsey, but i think you boil an egg, let it cool, surround it in sausage meat, forming a ball, then roll it in breadcrumbs, shallow fry it turning occassionally.i could be wrong, matt.

Hi Monty

If you are a purist and can spare the time, Saint Delia's recipe will not go wrong:

Scotch Eggs with Fresh Herbs from Delia Online

Personally I'd leave out some of the fiddlier steps she suggests.

Thanks for the replies everyone, going to have a bash at making my own!!! I don't know about St Delia though Gill? You've not seen me in a kitchen its more like St Jude (Patron saint of Hopless cases)!!! If I don't post for a while something has gone terribly wrong. LOL

All three of my local supermarkets have them, right next door to the scotch eggs. As I said earlier, the one in Woolies are better.

Surely the supermarkets near you stock such essentials.
