I have had eggs that were hardboiled, then had sausage meat psked around
them. They were deep fried and were wonderful.

Scotch eggs. Very different from deep frying a hard-cooked egg on its own.

On an Asian note, the very first time I ever had Scotch eggs was in Japan.
They were a staple on the school lunch menu at the school I worked at. At
first I though, "Gross!" because of my dislike for hard-boiled eggs, but
then I began to like them. Sometimes I even crave them.

I think it was sukotchu (su+ko+chisai tsu+chi+chisai yu) eggu. I should
have kept some of my school menus. I used to love getting the new ones and
figuring out which were going to be good lunch days, and which were going to
suck.

Scotch Eg-u All flat no accent. Fairly common in obento (lunch box) using
minced beef.
