Scotch eggs are a classic British dish created for a hearty snack. Believed to have originated in the 18th century, they became popular in pubs and at picnics. They consist of boiled eggs wrapped in sausage meat and coated in a crispy golden crust. The flavor is rich and harmonious: juicy meat, tender white, and creamy yolk complemented by a light crunchy coating. They are easy to eat by hand and look particularly appetizing when cut open. Often served with salad or tangy sauces that enhance their rich taste.
