To have had a stand up row with dp over how scotch eggs are made ?

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

And he was WRONG the bastard.

And he called me a fool, he's a fool, he thought the cooked sausagemeat and breadcrumbs were wrapped around the egg on a conveyor belt, not much better than my 'egg cooked inside and the shell sucked out' theory

So we were both wrong, but is wrongness was more wrong iiiiii think

:o

TBH I have NO idea how Scotch Eggs are made but it is weird how all the biggest rows i had with dp stemmed from daft stuff like this.We once had a right domestic about jacket spuds

And I always thought the hard bits in scotch eggs were bits of gristle

How do they make them then??

Please don't make me google it, I might come up with some weird shit I don't want on my computer history.

Theyre cooked, rolled in sausagemeat and breadcrumbs then FRIED

So he was fucking wrong n all

Scotch egg recipe; totally safe, it's the Beeb.

So do you often have late night drunken arguments about savoury snacks OP?

I prefer to pick my battles.

I won't argue for anything less than battenberg.

How does that work? How can you roll a boiled egg without squishing? And then how do they turn out round and not eggular?

batternburg is vile

Hey, don't oppress me giraffes.

eggular. Just brilliant.

nah, battenburg's all right - scotch eggs are vile though!

so should be a word, I mean egg-shaed sounds a mouthful and it not really oval because thats flat, and not spherical, so eggular makes sense.

I took girls to cafe yesterday to kill time after nursery before swimming as park was soeaking and bought them batternburg (was cheapest and least crap icing fiilled cake and thought they would go fot it because pink) 17mo rammed it all in her gob. 3.5yr old said it was disgusting - good girl! So ended up giving her a pound and sending her up to the lady to buy a cupcake.

Eggular sounds great but there's already a word - ovoid

well i think ovoid should be ovoided

Actually I was pondering how the egg doesn't burn, so nuh

And today my head aches

"Theyre cooked, rolled in sausagemeat and breadcrumbs then FRIED"

Well that´s how you would make them yourself at home-but surely your partner was talking about mass produced ones-as were you if you thought the shell was sucked out.

Perhaps the sausagemeat is wrapped by hand on a conveyer belt?

Hes probably right for mass produced ones.,

Sucking the shell out is genius and th ekind of idea you can only come with when drunk

Your egg scotching theory was far stupider than his. His would actually work, although it would leave a kind of flap in the sausage-meat. Yours was just plain stupid.

I can't believe people like that are allowed to vote.

I assumed in this enlightened age that everybody knew about the Scotch Egg Fairy.

"How can you roll a boiled egg without squishing?"

Because it´s hard boiled.

"And then how do they turn out round and not eggular?"

They dont if you make your own.

I think the mass produced ones are chopped egg which they must form to be round.

Sory, that was rubbish-if you make your own you probably shape it into a ball as that´s the easiest, but the egg inside is still an egg in its original form.

Oh dear I am lol at this thread this morning.

Sorry OP but I'm with TiggyD - your theory was way more stoopid than your dh's.

I mean, how the bloody hell do you suppose the shell can be removed from a boiled egg which is already encased in meat? Huh?

We need auntie mabel and pippin to visit a scotch egg factory so we can watch.

Theres probably a 'hows its made' showing it

Scotch eggs were invented by Fortnum & Mason's, so they are actually secretly v. posh.

Fortnum's are selling a special Scotch egg this year - Anyone got a spare £75?

Your DH was probably thinking about how some types of gala pie are made -some have whole eggs in, but then you get slices with just a small bit of the end of the egg in. So they invented the "long egg"
The yolks are separated, poured into a long tube-shaped mould and cooked. The hard yolk is then taken out of its mould & put inside a larger tube-shaped mould and the egg whites are poured round the outside of the hard yolk. The whole thing is then cooked again to harden the whites around the yolk, so you get one very long hard-boiled egg and each slice has the same amount of yolk & white.

nice funky opening and you can just see the scotch egg fairy overseeing things in the background.
