I'm Currently Feeling:  | Ladies
I have been reading this thread and have to know what a porkpie is and what a scotch egg or picnic egg is.
I am originally a NYer (yeah Gummy!) and I have never heard of any of them. You all seem very fond of them so was wondering what they are! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hmm, well, it's going to sound pretty gross if we describe it...
So a porkpie is mushed up pork meat in a jelly (animal fat) surrounding housed in pastry.
A picnic egg is mushed up egg (maybe something else?) in breadcrumb type things... they're about the size of an apricot.
A scotch egg is a whole boiled egg, with sausage meat covering it and again dipped in the breadcrumb type thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I just eat them and try not to think too much about it!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Minus the jelly part, the porkpie doesn't sound too God awful bad. Kind of like a spin off of beef wellington.
The mushed egg in breadcrumbs,is it fried or baked after that? Not sounding too yummy.
The scotch egg soundsl like something I would probably like.
I'll try anything once and usually twice if it doesn't bite!
Thanks for the explanations |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi RoRo, they're all snack sized, typical thing for picnics.
The scotch egg is mashed up boiled egg, hmm, can't remember if it's yolk only. It's a little ball.
Ok, been out of the UK too long, can't wait for chicken pie and peas, scotch eggs, proper sausages, pickled onion monster munch.. |
