Why is a scotch egg called a scotch egg ?

The answer to this question is not one that I know …. I guess that I could Google it … Whatever the reason for their strange name I really do like them . I have started making some on a Sunday morning and getting them cooked in the oven whilst the Sunday roast is cooking. Scotch eggs can be eaten warm but I think mostly they are eaten cold. I usually take one to work for my lunch with some salad on a Monday ...or have it for tea with salad when I get home on Monday after work. Once cooked they last for several days in the fridge and they are perfect to snack on. So, how to make a scotch egg …. ( my slimming version ) Hard boil an egg remove the skin from 2 low fat sausages and squish the sausages together after removing the shell from the egg wrap the sausage meat around the egg....cook in a medium oven for 30 - 40 minutes. serve hot or cold yummy
