Crazy Diamond Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Yay or nay? Personally, yay. Although it depends on size, for me it has to be snack size and not the full egg kind of size - the one that Keith from the Office is famous for eating whilst talking about orgasms. Also, I'm not a fan of the gas that is released when you break through the sausage and breadcrumb shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidshokk Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Was on phone to customer when I read that and nearly burst out with a LOL... Not only because that sketch out of the office had me in hysterics but I'm with you on the gas thing The quorn mini scotch eggs are real good and surprisingly like the real thing... Except they don't have the gas, as far as I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Quorn ??? No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidshokk Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Quorn ??? No thanks Tried it??? You might be surprised (not by how bad it is........) I need to give up the pro-veggie food attitude though as after six years Ive recently gone back to devouring dead animals again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 27 June, 2011 Author Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Quorn ??? No thanks I'm equally sceptical, but I'm going to make an effort to investigate. It's strange, I'm not a massive fan of eggs, but wrap them in sausage meat and a few orange breadcrumbs and you've got a winning combination.

Smirking_Saint Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Quorn ?? Yeah the missus took to eating it during her health kick. Tried it, can't say I am much of a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kirkup Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Beware - don't be fooled by the mini snack eggs. Only full sized, complete egg in the middle, Scotch eggs are the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Block 5 Posted 27 June, 2011 Share Posted 27 June, 2011 Yes! Love scotch eggs. Incidentally, Christopher Shale had three inserted in his anus when they found him in that Glastonbury portaloo. Obviously the police and coroner have hushed that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the Quorn mini eggs though??? It's not the same stuff as in the quorn chicken style breasts. I WILL make a quorn eater out of you SS. That said I'm about to have real chicken off the barbie...

Block 18 Posted 28 June, 2011 Share Posted 28 June, 2011 What is it about veggies that make them want to eat imitation meat, if your anti meat why dress your food up as a sausage. Never understood that. As for scotch eggs yes please, although home made are better than shop made ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood that. As for scotch eggs yes please, although home made are better than shop made ones With me it had something to do with being brought up eating meat for 22 years and so despite not wanting to eat dead animals anymore you do miss that element of a meal. Potato and veg only anyone?!?! When the issue is the fact you're eating something that's been slaughtered Veggie alternatives are a way of getting a "meat" fix without the guilt or the inappropriate thoughts running through your head as you try to eat it.

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 28 June, 2011 Share Posted 28 June, 2011 The butcher in Alresford at the top of Broad street does a fantastic Scotch egg, made on the premises. Also does a great range of home-made pies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upwind Posted 28 June, 2011 Share Posted 28 June, 2011 I use Quorn mince for Bolognaise, Shep Pie, Lasagne etc. I personally think that provided you have a flavoured sauce with it, it is as good as having the minced animal parts that you normally get in regular mincemeat. If I do go for the 'real' mincemeat option though, I always go for minced steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al de Man Posted 28 June, 2011 Share Posted 28 June, 2011 I have a friend in Hong Kong who lived in the UK for ten years and she was delighted to find scotch eggs in M&S out there, even though they were almost £3 for two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petersfield Saint Posted 28 June, 2011 Share Posted 28 June, 2011 Beware - don't be fooled by the mini snack eggs. Only full sized, complete egg in the middle, Scotch eggs are the real deal. Disagree - "picnic" eggs for me (with the egg all chopped up inside - don't get the gas problem either!). Agree with the comments on veggie food that looks and tastes like meat - weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 1 July, 2011 Share Posted 1 July, 2011 Beware - don't be fooled by the mini snack eggs. Only full sized, complete egg in the middle, Scotch eggs are the real deal. I completely agree. That chopped-up-with-mayo gash is no Scotch Egg. I have never noticed the gas, and I like Quorn as a chicken substitute in curries and with pasta and as a mince substitute in chillis. I'm not a vegetarian, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for scotch eggs yes please, although home made are better than shop made ones It's like dykes and mincers... if you're so homo then why act butch/act floaty?! Back on topic: salad cream is very nice with Scotch Egg. Also, people who say "Scotched Egg" are dinlos. They, no doubt, also say "haytch" instead of "aich".

Some people just like to have a dig at vegetarian food without trying it cos they think it's clever to take the p!ss. Narrow minded somewhat.

Sorry Benji, but the 'Scotched Egg' people are right. The egg concoction was first made by Fortnum and Mason in 1738 as a picnic snack and the term 'Scotched' meant roughly minced. They were offered for sale as 'Scotched i.e. covered in minced meat, Egg' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 5 July, 2011 Share Posted 5 July, 2011 The morning after snack from the local Happy Shopper is always going to be pork pie, cheese and onion crisps and banana milkshake. If for some reason pork pies are not available, it may be necessary to take up the Scotch(ed? - dunno) egg option. Invariably, the case is dry and it is like having a bowl of sawdust to the hungover mouth. However, judicious use of the banana milkshake can make it a perfectly acceptable hangover treatment. BTW - Quorn is fine - no ligaments to lick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
