Scotch Eggs

Originating from England, Scotch Eggs have since become beloved throughout the United Kingdom, including in the vibrant city of Edinburgh. While there are various origin stories surrounding the creation of Scotch eggs, one of the earliest references to the name can be found in Maria Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery in 1809.

Traditionally, Scotch Eggs consist of a hard-boiled egg carefully wrapped in flavorful sausage meat. The egg and meat combination is then coated in breadcrumbs, providing a crispy outer layer when deep-fried to perfection. The result is a mouthwatering blend of textures and flavors that make Scotch eggs a delightful treat.

Scotch Eggs are a versatile snack that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. They make for a great on-the-go option, perfect for a quick bite during a busy day of exploring Edinburgh's enchanting streets and landmarks. Whether enjoyed as a standalone snack or paired with a side of tangy mustard or savory chutney, Scotch eggs are sure to satisfy your cravings.

In Edinburgh, you'll find various food establishments, from cozy pubs to bustling street food vendors, where you can indulge in these delectable treats. These establishments take pride in crafting Scotch Eggs with care, ensuring that each bite offers a burst of flavors and a delightful combination of textures.
