Scotch Eggs

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

We were visiting my son and wife in Flagstaff this past weekend. Among the treats was lunch at a place that served "Scotch Eggs" as an appetizer. Hard boiled egg wrapped with pork sausage, then breaded and fried. Never heard of them before and they were dee-lightful! Shown with honey mustard dip, a dash of paprika and optional Guinness.

Good option!

Oh yeah!! Where was this?

Cornish Pasty Co in Flagstaff, AZ, on S. San Francisco St just south of the train station. Apparently there are other locations around the country.

Talk about deprived!  They've been a camping staple for us for decades.   A great, easy, high protein hand food.

Yup!! Had a great breakfast there.

 

We also like the Downtown Diner which is a half block from the Hotel Monte Vista.

I remember makin’ ‘em.

Try making them with Italian sausage or chorizo.   And baked rather than fried.

Have to try them next month. Going to Twin Arrows (as recommended by UB) for our 55th Anniversary.

Sweet or spicy? I’ve done sweet, must try spicy. Maybe with quail eggs...

Either one, although I do prefer the sweet.  I tend to avoid things like spicy sausage or hot links.  I've found that either they don't taste any different than the mild, or they are so hot that you can't taste anything but hot.  Almost never is there a middle ground.

Yep. When I was in my late 20s/early 30s, I was all about the heat. The spicier the better.

 

Now I'm all about the flavor. Use very little heat in my cooking. Because, as you said, all you taste is the hot.

Plus one to the Twin Arrows!

We usually  stop on our way to or from Winter Range.Had one of the best prime rib dinners there.Price was very reasonable and they permit overnight RV camping in their parking lot.

[Joke 'um]

I don't see the Scotch.  Is it like a side dish?  Do you pour it into your beer?  What's the deal here?

[Alpo]

It's mixed in with the mustard.

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Looks nasty.  I hope it tastes better than it looks because based on appearance I wouldn't know if I was supposed to eat it or if someone already had.

[Silvertip]

OK I  live in Flagstaff and I have not been here, thanks for the tip.   Anyone passing through please drop a line and the wife ( Red Marie) and I would be happy to meet up for dinner.
