My obsession love affair with scotch eggs is now the thing of legend.
Just recently a I ❤️ scotch Eggs T shift was delivered to Bwthyn Y Llan and before that a gift of two,were left on the kitchen wall, wrapped in silver foil and an Aldi Carrier bag.
Tonight I was left a trio of bespoke chilli Scotch Eggs, a gift from the a hospice head housekeeper whose husband works as a Butcher in nearby Conwy.
Suffice to say my diet went out of the window
The butchers they came from is Edward’s Of Conwy
And it must be said their chilli scotch egg is a thing of sublime beauty
I ate my first without taking my clinical mask off, which is not an easy procedure in anyone’s books…and the second I savoured more slowly….like a Frenchman may do over six oysters and a glass of champagne
Two minutes later, I was finished
The third I shared with some colleagues.
As I didn’t want to appear as greedy.
I am set up for the night now, and as I was placing my patient on his ventilation system he gave me a questioning look ….which obviously meant you,reek of chilli and sausage meat!
too bad i don't live nearby because i make a wicked good scotch egg. people ask for them all the time.
ReplyDeleteI sense a blow by blow recipe post coming on
DeleteAnother reason to come back for another visit. the look wonderful, and anything that good, has to be good for you.
ReplyDeleteYou two are welcome anytime
DeleteLooking at the link for the shop, we went in and took pictures when we were there. J bought some kind of a treat. A really high quality shop.
DeleteA bit of what you fancy John-meatee x
ReplyDeleteOh yes
DeleteOh dear back on that diet tomorrow. Promise?
ReplyDeleteI’m back now .. not a crumb left
DeleteScotch eggs - the food of the gods and godesses :-)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the haggis ones?
I remember my mother making boiled eggs wrapped in cheese pastry then baked - they were just as good I seem to remember, must re-visit that! Wonder what they were called?
I have indeed… very strong
DeleteSome day I’ll have to try a Scotch egg. I had never heard of them until the first time I found you waxing poetic. They look so unappealing to me, but I have a feeling I’d fall in love.
ReplyDeleteYou will.
DeleteThere must be a shop here in Fuengirola to cater to the taste. I’ll be on the lookout.
DeleteThe Spanish make similar dishes I’m sure you can find one
DeleteMwM - have a go at making them - you just need eggs, sausages, breadcrumbs and Youtube.
DeleteMrsL:
DeleteHa! You don’t know me very well. I consider turning on the kettle “cooking.” I do the washing up.
Ah right, ok then. A quick Google from Scotland tells me you could try the Dog With Two Heads pub in Fuengirola. :) :)
Deleteoh me too would love to try a scotch egg looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteA complete meal in one lump
DeleteI might have to call the local pub and get an order to go... mind you, there's no 'chili scotch eggs' but a regular scotch egg could suffice. Glad your treat was so delicious and appreciated!
ReplyDeleteIt was bloody lovely
DeleteOr was it the breadcrumbs dangling from your mask?
ReplyDeleteNot for me I'm afraid, vegetarian for 40 odd years, now becoming vegan. But if they hit the spot for you, good on you. A little veer off the diet every now and then isn't too bad. xx
ReplyDeleteOh, lucky you to have been such a wonderful nurse that you were given those sublime chili Scotch eggs! How kind of you to have shared egg #3, too.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing some machine quilting today and am pleased with the look of it.
Hugs!
Congratulations! You are world known for your love of Scotch Eggs (SE). I suspect you could direct us to the best SE's.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up scotch eggs. They look interesting and very rich to eat. I don't know what my family would think if I cooked a batch one morning. We shall see.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to having Scotch Eggs again this winter. They seem to have developed a lot since I was last in the UK. Black pudding Scotch Eggs, Haggis Scotch Eggs, etc. There seems no end to the new varieties.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for Vegan Scotch Eggs to come out, which is surely only a matter of time - though how could they manage the egg part? We already have Vegan, ham, bacon, even pepperoni, all of which I like a lot. Even in my pre-vegetarian childhood years I never tried an original Scotch Egg and, of course, would never do it now. But if they ever did create a vegan [or near-vegan] one I most definitely would.
ReplyDeleteJust Googled vegan Scotch egg recipe. There are quite a few. I may have to give one of them a go. Have a look Raybeard, might change your life! xx
DeleteHi Raymondo a vegan scotch egg…..gawd help us
DeleteI've just had a look on the Internet myself, Happy H. [Why I didn't do it before, I don't know]. Yes, there's quite a fair bit available though I won't be following up any of the recipes as cook I am NOT! Pity there's no Sainsbury around where I live as theirs do look especially appetising. But several others are available through home delivery so I'll investigate, though unfortunately I only have a tiny fridge and tiny freezer. But thanks for the 'pointer' anyway.
DeleteI'm not a fan of hard-boiled eggs, so doubt I would like Scotch eggs (which, like Mitchell, I never heard of before reading this blog), but nevertheless get a kick out of reading you rave about them. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI’m a sad sack
DeleteWhen scotch eggs are chilli you can always warm them up in a microwave.
ReplyDeleteA little of what you fancy does you good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice treat for you!
ReplyDeleteHaven't had a scotch egg for years...if I remember rightly a faff to make. But I enjoy hearing you wax lyrical about scoffing them. A scotch egg or two won't derail the diet; especially the amount of weight you have lost. Well done xx
