LONDON -- How to make a perfect Scotch egg, which by the way has nothing to do with Scotland.We are attempting to understand how a very powerful British cabinet minister by the name of Michael Gove really feels about the humble Scotch egg. Reader beware: political mockery and bad puns ahead. As in, politician eats his words and ends up with egg on his face?Boil 4 eggs for 8-10 minutes then chill in a bowl of ice water.
By the way, the Scotch egg was created by Fortnum and Mason in 1738. “Scotching” is the process of mincing the meat to go around the egg. Except nowadays under COVID-19 guidelines, you can’t just walk into your local pub and order a pint and a Scotch egg. If you want a drink, you have to be sitting at a table and order a “substantial meal.”
“A couple of Scotch eggs is a starter,” he told LBC radio with the authority of a man who’s sampled a few in his life. Forthright. Assured. Confident.
