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

The point is, you love each other deeply and want to share knowledge! My parents use to argue about this sort of thing. To be precise it was whether or not a boiled egg continued to "cook" once removed from the pan...rather academic and technical but each had their point of view I suppose.

We have just put our house on the market and was cleaning it up like mad ready for the pictures to be taken yesterday.

I looked at the ceiling and saw a massive fizz drink spill, and then remembered...

we had a row about how to cook pasta and it ended up with him storming off and throwing his bottle of fizz up the stairs. Why did he do this (no idea) anyway it fizzed the top fell off and it went all up the walls and ceiling.

We all fight about something truly stupid. I will add that I was right and refused to cook pasta for about a year after that. Happy to say we are pasta happy now (grin)

You do realise I now want an egg cuber ??

Why didn't I want one of these before ?? Hands up who else wants one !

Mrs Flittersnoop - your DH had probably been to school with the cook in TiggyD's video, who said he fried his eggs in "2 centimetres of oil- that's about an inch and a half" hmm

Too many there. Of course, I meant

YABU

Actually a hybid chicken bred in Scotland laid the eggs already wrapped in sausage meat and breadcrumbs. Tut.

I want an egg cuber.

But I want everything that Lakeland sells. I am only allowed into the shop on my birthday.

Isn't the proper word for egg shaped Oblate Spheroid?

Oh and Mrs Flittersnoop I've been meaning to ask you for ages, do you still have your little muslin bag for your acid drops in the cinema so you don't rustle? Or aren't you that Mrs Flittersnoop?

DH and I only have arguments like this - we never argue about the big scary stuff, only petty pointless shit like this. We can get pretty acrimonious about it too. You are normal. Or at least, you are like us. Which may or may not be a good thing.

"I've often wondered about the shop bought ones as they're round, with no discernible 'seams' and the egg is rattling around in there... a puzzle to this day."

Yes, I think that the outside is premoulded & fitted round in 2 halves.

There-do I get the award for the silliest idea?

If you use cheap sausage meat with too much water in, it will evaporate during cooking and leave a gap.
