I'll start with the big question... Why?

And I will answer you simply... Why not?

I've been arguing my case for sometime now. The Scotch Egg is the mightiest snack of them all, no question. I don't know a lot about them (although I'm sure that on this pork and egg filled roller coaster I will become an expert), but all I do know is that they are unbelievable, and an absolute taste sensation.

People frown upon them, and maybe on this quest I will discover why.

You may choose something less nutritional maybe, such as a Double Decker or a Mars to snack on? Or maybe you like to get your health kicks and nibble on a banana or an apple? Maybe I don't have any standards? I casually walk down the street on the journey home from my local Sainsburys, tucking into a Scotch Egg like it's a piece of fruit.

The aim of the blog is simple... To hunt down and eat the best Scotch Eggs I can get my hands on. I'm open to suggestions of locations, supermarkets, delis, markets, service stations, literally ANYWHERE that sells the little beauties. To me, every Scotch Egg is equal, weather it be purchased in Tescos, or finely crafted in a restaurant. They all deserve their place in the Scotch Egg world of fame, this here blog.

So this is it, my journey has begun. I will enjoy documenting it for you all, and so will my tummy.

Thanks for reading,

David

  3. Dear Boa,

    I too share your love for this spherical pork majesty! Can I attract your attention to the Ginger Pig butchers off Marylebone Highstreet. The scotch eggs are the size of guinea pigs and the meat is top drawer.

    Enjoy,

  6. Great Blog, the mighty scotch egg is such an underrated food. I'm very lucky that living in the Republic of Ireland both my parents are Northern Irish and hand fed me them since birth :)Once when on a gluten free diet they helped me survive the lack of food choices by me making them with gluten free bread and sausage meat.
