Scotch egg
Meaty pub sphere
A Scotch egg is a hard-boiled egg encased in seasoned sausage meat, breaded, and fried until golden.
The capitalization reflects the dish's presumed Scottish origin, though its true provenance is debated.
Standard British fare at pubs and picnics: The Scotch egg at that gastropub is made with black pudding. (Also written lowercase as scotch egg.)
