Scotch eggs are easy to make. Hard boil some eggs. Let eggs cool.(Egg peeling hint: put hot boiled eggs in a bowl of ICE water and let cool completely. This makes a world of difference.) Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Use your favorite sausage and wrap around cooled, boiled and peeled egg. Make sure to cover egg totally, so you don't see any of the egg, but not too thick. Bake until sausage is brown and crispy. I like spicy sausage with a honey mustard as a dipping sauce. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.109.221.48 (talk) 02:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't think they're deep fried. And I don't think they're cheap either - they're generally expensive, and the sausage meat quality is usually good. 84.64.131.221 01:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
"Deep fried with runny yolk". It's a joke right?
Are they available in the US? If so, where?
Stone Cellar Brew Pub [1] in Appleton, Wisconsin offers a Scotch Egg on its appetizer menu. I'd bet you could find this type of thing at any more authentic brewpub.
I think the thing about being deep fried with a runny yolk must surely be a joke, unless someone has a source?
They sell them in my local cafe and they are the most yummy foods I have ever consumed and I want more now! (Ronan in Ireland)
They're almost always deep-fried, as the quasi-spherical shape means they're very difficult to shallow fry. I've never had one with a runny yolk though. BaHaReep 03:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the recipe I use for Scotch Eggs calls for shallow-frying them in a pan to crisp the outer layer, then baking them to make sure the sausage is fully cooked. Might be a variation, though. Binarywraith 23 March 2007
What about Australia?! Australia is supposed to be a British colony, but they DON'T appear to do scotch eggs. IT SUX! YourPTR! (talk) 20:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
Aw, comeon McGeddon. What's wrong with more pictures? Any food comes in many styles, so it's only fitting to show both packaged and homemade versions. The article clearly states that there's a negative attitude towards the fast-food pre-packaged ones, so why not show the difference? And yes, I took two of the pictures removed, so I have a vanity interest in keeping them up, just so my interests are clear. I've placed one image back up for contrast. Please discuss here if there are further objections. Alvis 08:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality of the Article
I believe the term "so-called" is a derogatory term, implying that these "English-style" pubs are not actually "English-style" but only claim to be. I suggest the removal of "so-called" in the article unless there is sufficient proof that these "English-style" pubs are only "so-called". --MadDawg2552 (talk) 13:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
