scotch eggs
Breaded encased ova
Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried or baked.
A British pub and picnic staple, they're served cold or hot, often with mustard: We grabbed scotch eggs from the deli for the train ride.
The name likely refers to the process of scotching (scoring or cutting) rather than to Scotland. (Capitalized Scotch eggs is an alternate form.)
