4 large eggs
8 oz. minced sausage meat
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
3 tsp. chopped fresh chives
1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh parsley
plain flour seasoned with salt & cracked pepper
1 small egg, beaten
toasted breadcrumbs
oil for deep frying

Hard-boil the eggs by covering them in cold water, bringing it to the boil,
simmering gently for 9 minutes and cooling them under cold running water.
Next mix the sausage meat with the spring onions and herbs and season well.
Shell the cooled eggs (hint: place them individually in a towel and gently
roll them against a cutting board to crack the shell). Coat each one with
some of the seasoned flour. Divide the sausage meat into four portions and
pat each piece out on a floured surface to a shape roughly 5x3 inches. Now
place an egg in the center of each piece and carefully gather up the sausage
meat to cover the egg completely. Seal one by one, first in beaten egg wash
and then in the breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan up to a temperature of 350F. Fry the coated
eggs in the oil for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently until they are nicely
browned. Drain on plain brown paper.

I have an alternative to the deep fried version, it's not authentic, but
damn it's good.

It requires some very large baking potatoes (one per egg). You half the
potatoe, scoop out the insides of both sides with a melon baller until you
have about a quarter inch of skin and meat left, pack in some sausage, then
tuck in the (shelled) hard boiled egg and press the potato back together.
Wrap in aluminum foil, and bake until the potato is soft and the sausage is
cooked, around an hour at 350 degrees. When you take it out of the foil,
cut it in half again, through the sausage and egg, put it in a bowl and
pour cheese sauce all over it. It's vastly comforting, warm, and
magnificently filling. I can usually only finish half of one, though my
husband likes it so much he'll eat the whole thing and skip lunch later

The connections between ENGLAND and France were strong. Perhaps there were
many years spent at the French court, but Bonnie Prince Charlie did not
establish Scotland as a free country.

And if you read about Mary, Queen of Scots (she was also a Stuart) spent
much time in the French court. However, apparently she did not want to have
much to do with it.

Scotland is still a British province.

Be that as it may, St. Andrews Night is still a fun custom

OOOH! Sounds so good! Thanks Siobhan!

You don't have to go back very far to realize that there
were lots of intermarriages between the royal families, and not just
between France and England. Also, regardless of Bonnie Prince Charlie's
failure, France was a major player in trying to establish his father
back on the throne, and also supported BPC in his efforts as well. I
think it's clear there was greater connection than merely time spent
in France!

It's a fascinating subject. Mary was raised in the
French court from the age of 5 until she was a young woman, was
educated there as a French princess (her letters to Scotland were
signed "Marie", the French spelling of "Mary" as "Stuart" is generally
thought to be the French spelling of "Stewart"), and married the
Dauphin. Her mother, Mary of Guise, was French, and she was
influenced by her powerful Guise relatives as well. She was,
briefly, Queen of France. If she took to Scottish ways after she
left France for Scotland, that was the politically savvy thing to
do. I don't think it shows that she personally didn't want anything
to do with France, only that she was smart enough to realize that if
she wanted to be Queen of the Scots and one step closer to the English
throne, it would endear her more to her people to remember her
Scottish roots. The connections between France and Scotland in that
particular case was obviously very strong, too. Gotta love European
history... Hey, there's a future Halloween costume idea-- Mary, Queen
of Scots. You even get to pick whether or not you portray her with or
without her head. <g>

And popularly celebrated by Scots even when living abroad, I
understand. It's no more unusual than people celebrating
St. Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest or Chinese New year here in the States, really.
I've never had a Scotch egg, but it sounds delicious. Artery
hardening, maybe, but delicious.

How about if I walk around with her head on my arm? <G>

That could work... The fashion did seem to be high collared
gowns, and Mary was a tall woman. You'd just have to find a way to
make a peephole in the collar/throat section.

Yeah, obviously not something I'd want to eat every day, but
I'm still going to try it sometime. ~

A man my brother and I knew a long while back got an extra tall suit and had
the 'arm' around his neck with his head in a box. Looked like he was
carrying his head around. He won several costume contests that year! Would
be hard to carry off in a gown.

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.)

Very easy!

Hardboiled eggs, one per person
Bulk sausage meat, about one ounce/35 g per egg (for 5 eggs use 8 oz/250
g)
one egg beaten with a little water
breadcrumbs (seasoned or not)
fat for deep frying

Wrap each cooked egg in a portion of sausage meat, completely enclosing
the egg.
Dip each sausage-wrapped egg into beaten egg (or brush it on) and then
into breadcrumbs.
Deep fry the egg until the coating is browned and crisp.

LOL The same reason some groups of people celebrate St Nikolas or St
Lucia Day or Robert Burns birthday in the US.

They are really very good if one has good sausage meat. Certainly a
common snack to be found in UK supermarkets.

Granted, my grandparents would go to the Scottish Rite Cathedral and they
(the Scots) would pipe in the haggis to celebrate Robert Burns birthday.
They were Scottish.

They didn't, however, celebrate any French holidays that I know of.

LOL! That's their loss of course. But saint's days are certainly
celebrated in many parts of France.
