This may seem a bit odd, but the first time I ever had a Scotch egg was in
Japan. It was quite popular on the school lunch menu and I think we had it
once or twice a month. I was reluctant to try it, especially since I have
never been a fan of hard-boiled eggs, but it was quite good. I later
learned that my parents had known about Scotch eggs for decades and would
occasionally make them. So, my experience with Scotch eggs has always been
through Asians, and my Caucasian friends have never even heard of them!
(Except perhaps my Scottish friend, but I'll have to ask her if she's ever
had them.)
