smoked eggs <+> Scotch eggs --> smoked Scotch eggs?
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2013 00:27
A recent post by sambal badjak about smoking eggs got me to thinking (which, I must admit, is a dangerous thing). I remember visiting the UK back in the late 70's, and they had something really tasty called a Scotch Egg. It's a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage and deep fried.
It occurs to me that
(1) The British are masters at deep frying anything and everything (inventors of the deep fried Mars bar, one of the pillars of civilization as we know it).
(2) Anything involving the primary food pyramid [fried foods, sausage, eggs) has GOT to be tasty.
(3) Why don't we smoke Scotch eggs for added flavor? ...uh, flavoUr. ...and if we smoke 'em, can we avoid the fry step?
Any of our forum folks have a good recipe? Please share.
P.S. Sambal, please elaborate on smoking the eggs. It sounds intriguing/tasty.
