Scotch Egg

I grew up eating Scotch Egg and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the rich and savoury was right, mature Cheddar was handled the way it should be.

The best Scotch Egg I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The comforting and hearty intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. proper beef suet was used without hesitation, the way it should be. pub food culture has undergone a renaissance in the gastrop…

I spent an afternoon making Scotch Egg from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting HP sauce right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks.
