Scotch Egg as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Scotch Egg is absolutely in that category. The rich and savoury quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. mature Cheddar does work that no substitute can replicate.

pub food culture has undergone a renaissance in the gastropub era. There's something about the a traditional seaside chippy context that reinforces the comfort effect. real ale alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
