Re: Shock Horror ...
I didnt flog the recipe honet. The question is whether Scots will stand for this or start a haggis fight at the border were the winner can claim its theirs.
 I will be a nuetral ref and lob Bury Black Puddings, or should that be Blood puddings in this PC age?

Re: Shock Horror ...
Quote:
from wiki ... A Scotch egg consists of a shelled hard-boiled egg, wrapped in a sausage meat mixture, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. Scotch eggs are commonly eaten cold, typically with salad and pickles. Contrary to popular belief (and despite being the butt of a number of English comedians' jokes about the Scottish diet), Scotch Eggs were actually invented by the famous London department store, Fortnum & Mason in 1851.

Re: Shock Horror ...
We all know the Scots invented everything whilst sitting on park benches drinking Buckfast and Tennents Super..the English simply sat with them for 5 minutes then went away to claim the invention for themselves.. It's called "Intelligence"
