Here in Brazil one would call this dish a “Bolovo”, which basically means Cake (Bolo) + Egg (Ovo), as in “Cakegg”. I gotta say that this was the tastiest one I’ve seen in my whole life!
I've been making Scotch Eggs for nearly 40 years pretty close to this. I just started using Panko about 10 years ago. It's a family favorite especially during the holidays. My family expects them when they come to town. I first started making these when my husband and I were House Parents for an At-Risk Youth program. Those kids were so tired of the same old breakfast of: scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast. I had attended a regional gathering at Christmas time called Dickin's On the Strand in Galveston, TX. That is where I had my first Scotch Egg. I go the recipe from the people who were selling it on the food street. The next weekend I got up extra, EXTRA early and made these eggs. My 15 boys got up and were a little confused. I told them, "Well, we are supposed to serve eggs, sausage, and toast and y'all are sick and tired of it so let me present your "eggs, sausage, and toast" a different way. I had to keep my hands and feet away from their mouths! Luckily, I made 2 eggs per kid PLUS some extra eggs for them "just in case". After that day, I made them every Saturday morning. I even showed the boys how to make them. They never taught Home Ec in school anymore so I taught my boys how to cook. Most of the boys loved learning how to cook and this recipe (with breadcrumbs instead of Panko back then). I still hear from some of my boys, who are now grown men with families of their own and they always bring up Scotch Eggs! Mama proud!
The reason why the egg is hard boiled is because this is generally eaten as a snack food, not something you would need a plate for. They're usually chilled and stored in the fridge in the same way as a pork pie
@@woodonfire7406 When scotch egg was first sold in London in 1738, it was sold as a traveller's snack. For travellers back in those days (I'd argue even now), a snack is something one would be eating while travelling (on foot, on trains, etc), as opposed to a meal, say at a diner, a pub or any places where you could eat with your cutlery. That's why the Scotch egg would often have a hard-boiled egg: less messy to eat, and longer shelf-life. And yes it's pretty much a meal in terms of its calories and content, but that's perfect for travellers since they needed something dense in energy that could be eaten quickly without creating a mess. Think of scotch egg as energy bars back in those days, they serve very similar purposes.
My British great grandfather used to make these for me every time I visited, he taught my older sister how to make them before he passed, it’s nice to see them get some appreciation
It's music but I'm sure your pedantics make a real difference. And while the composition itself is in the public domain, per U.S. law, the specific orchestration of the intro tune used to score 2001: A Space Odyssey is not. While he isn't necessarily using that specific orchestration here, TH-cam is a bitch and would create issues for him anyway if some troll or bot flagged it (and a bot likely would, because bots are too dumb to understand the difference).
It's over 50 years since I last made a Scotch Egg, I am empressed with yours. In the UK, we have them with thick chips (not French frys) and baked beans, you might want to have a side order of Haggis and black pudding, with a glass of wisky, 👍👍
This isn't technically that though, as that's an entire piece. Technically, this is the Space Odyssey theme (which is a brief segment of Also Sprach Zarathustra). While he'd legally be safe because he voiced the tune himself instead of using the actual sound from the film (which is the specific thing that's copyrighted), in the time it would take him to dispute any flagging from douche corporations or dumb bots who don't know better, he'd be losing engagement.
Yeah, it’s movement 1, Einleitung, oder Sonnenaufgang (introduction or sunrise) of Also Sprach Zarathustra, which was used for 2001. You are correct, because he didn’t use a sound recording, he would be fine legally, but ASZ is in the public domain in the US. It’s not in some places in Europe. Not sure how TH-cam demonetization works in a case like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@rafaelanaya9421 Josh used to do these videos on a friday where he gave us recipes and instructions on how to make fermented foods, like his fermented Ketchup. He hasn't done them in a while and some of us want them to make a comeback😊😁
This recipe has touched my soul - my first time ever making scotch eggs and they've come out with perfect runny yolks, beautiful crisp outside, delicious explosion of flavours from the seasoning! Unreal experience
As a lover of scotch eggs and I live in the UK this is the first time I’ve ever been tempted by a recipe to make my own and a runny yolk is right up my street as all the bought ones the yolk is what puts me off it’s so dry and NOTHING can bring it back. Thank you!
The egg isn't supposed to be runny though the scotched egg is supposed to be eaten as a quick snack which u can chill in the fridge then just grab it and eat it on the go if it's runny you can't do that
In the Netherlands, we have a very similar snack called simply "eggball", or "eierbal" in Dutch. It's mostly the same, but instead of minced meat, we use ragout.
Josh, hubby saw this and immediately said “all my faves, make this for me …”. So I must go to the butcher for fresh ground pork and grocer for panko and eggs. And I am ordering your cookbook because I cannot live without it. ❤️🥰
As a former chef. This was our most requested item. Very easy to make and delicious. Timing on boiling the eggs, 630-7mins for the perfect temp and tenderness. Not many folk like yolk. But bravo!
As much as I appreciate Josh going above and beyond to show us meal options with the Scotch Egg, as a true Brit, I will be taking mine to the park alongside my picnic and my beer 😌
Josh, mate... poke a hole in the bottom of the egg (the round, not pointy end) with a pin or thumbtack. When the eggs cool in the iced water, they contract, pulling water in through the hole and separating the egg from the shell. That way you won't massacre your eggs when you peel them 1:45.

I recently got sent some "Pork Panko" to try out, made from pork skin/crackling. It's pretty good and is amazing on a scotch egg. BTW, you can add a vegetable in there, finely sliced spring onion in the sausage meat is really good.
Back in my larping days, we made some that consisted of making deviled egg spread from the yolks with blue cheese, chives and lots of cracked black pepper. filled the whites with the filling, wrapped it in locally made sausage AND bacon, then crusted and fried them. SO good.

The scotch egg is one of THE BEST English bar snacks in existence! Great with a cold beer and some grainy mustard on the side. Love the idea of keeping the yolk runny!
I tried these today, best Scotch Egg I've ever had and I've had a few, all bought though, this was my first attempt at home made. I'd recommend these to anyone they are delicious but there one thing not made absolutely crystal clear in the video. Peeled soft boiled eggs are extremely squishy, floppy and delicate, they easily split open with just a bit of pressure, you absolutely must use the cradled method shown in the video to wrap them unless you have the dextrousness of a magician, you do not want to squeeze them, I split my first one very easily just peeling it. Also they pack a fair calorie punch, near 550 per egg by my reckoning (though I did use a smidgen more meat than here at 125g per egg) so having them with chips and baked beans (as I did) is not perhaps the most healthy way to enjoy them, but worth it. Cheers :).
Hey Josh! I know you probably won't see this but I'd love to see some easy (maybe cheap?) meals for a 5-6 person family! I love your recipes but they'd never be enough for my fam 😂
I personally just bake them in the oven instead of frying them. Still comes out very tasty. Oh also I like to scramble the egg and put it into a little plastic thing that lets you boil the eggs in water and then that way I can season and put stuff into the egg.
@@123Andersonev genuinely never seen them in a restaurant before and I've lived in a lot of places in England and Scotland but I could see them being served warm as an appetiser maybe?
@@ГошаКлассно As a Scotsman I can say that we generally use haggis as the surround if not using sausage-meat. Though chunks of black-pudding [blood sausage] in the sausage meat is nice too.
Beautiful! Now that I know precisely what it is, I’m going to make it!!! I does look wonderful! I’ll boil mine starting in boiling water, for 17 minutes (I usually do 20, but I have to allow for possible additional cooking while frying) Thank you very much, Papa!! Gordon Ramsay never explains it, on MasterChef. I love sausage and eggs!!! I just need to figure out how to get a cheese layer in there. An egg without cheese, is like a day without sunshine!
Sorry Josh you missed the perfect way to serve Scotch Eggs. My all time favorite way to serve Scotch Eggs is is the afternoon before you are to serve this epicurean delight you break out the mandolin and make some sweet music with several or more Russet Potatoes and turn them into the shape of SSFF (Shoe-String French Fries) and it is up to you if you wish to leave the skins on like a heathen and then rinse them in cold water followed by a soak for about one to two hours in ice cold salted water with several tablespoons of sugar added to the water as well. The preheat your frying oil to 275 and blanch fry you SSFF in batches for about 4 minutes or until your SSFF are wiggly and jiggly and place them on a rack gently to drain and then onto a sheet pan in the freezer and once frozen place them in a serving size plastic bags. On the day that you are going to cook your Scotch Eggs (side note you can pre cook and peel your eggs, make the sausage etc. so that your morning/brunch cooking session will not be as hectic. No just prior to frying your Scotch Eggs make yourself a “batch” of Hollandaise Sauce and place it in a wide mouth thermos that has been pre warmed with boiling water and then throughly dried as well as trimming and steaming at least 3 if not 5 pieces of Asparagus for every order served. Now just after removing your or Scotch Egg from its frying oil in another Dutch oven drop an order of your already “blanch” fried shoestring French Fries which you of course have waiting in the freezer and while your Fries are being cooked to a perfect GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious) refresh your Asparagus in a pan of hot salted water and once warmed place on a dry clean towel. By this time your SSFF should be GBD place a nest upon you serving plate along with several slices of beefsteak tomato that like the fries have been salted and upon your nest of SSFF cut your GBD Scotch Egg open lay the Asparagus spears artfully upon the two halves and lavishly sauce with your perfectly prepared Hollandaise sauce garnish with finely chopped chives a serve with a glass of Guinness or Champagne
Sounds delicious. Have you seen his video where he admits that this one was a lie? It's not easy and he had trouble getting a runny yolk and still cooking the sausage enough.
This Easter i saw something by Alton Brown where he stands his eggs instead of biking them. It makes a huge difference in the peel process, is so much easier, and doesn't have the rubberiness that hard(and soft) boiled sometimes gets
@@haihai9022 you ever eat beans or peas with a fork? If you have, that's the same thing as with rice. Why??? You know how hard it is to get something so small, so separated, just use a spoon, it's not that hard
Yo I love how do-able this recipe is. When I lived in Seattle I was able to acquire all the ingredients for the recipes regardless how obscure they were. But since I moved to Arkansas in a little Podunk town a good hour and a half away from any whole foods or Asian market most of the recipes aren't doable if I don't have the time to spend 2-3 hours driving just for a couple groceries. Hope to see more recipes that don't require oddly obscure asian spices or machines cause they're difficult to come by where I live
Incorrect. In no language does "Scotch" mean chopped. While some cookbooks have described minced meat as "scotched meat" there's also evidence of scotched food that does not involved chopped ingredients. The origin is still in question, as several different sources claim to have created them in the 1700s, although none are Scottish.
Josh, just pronounce Worcestershire as "wuster" (woo-ster) sauce, beats the complication of adding the "shire" and wrapping up the "ester" in there too.
@@IIIAJHIII as a Scot I don't even care, I'm happy someone 100% thought, we probably shouldn't do this. Screw it, it will be funny. It's deep fried, let's blame the scots. That was the birth of the pizza crunch and the deep fried Mars bar!
Egg is a funny word in polish because egg is “jaja” in polish and “jaja” also means balls so when people say they need eggs , some always have 2 with them😏😂

Hey Josh, A couple of tips if I may... Try 1.5% salt by weight of meat (2 tsp for 2lbs) since Worcester-cester-cester sauce is salty. Also, mix the farce in a stand mixer so as not to warm it with your hands. I pre-chill in the freezer to keep it on the edge of icy. Mix until it sticks to the bottom of your hand when inverted. You got the rest bro. Scotch-egg on!
I normally subscribe for my liking of the recipes - which, yes I love your recipes as well. But I subscribes primarily and for the first time ever because of comedy. Your videos make me love so much and this leads to enjoying cooking even more. Thankyou so much for that! :3
The rice & scotch eggs is pretty close in my mind to a (cleaned up) loco moco. It's one of those things that you take a bite and tell yourself "I can never let myself have this again lest I become addicted".
whenever Joshua threatens to withhold kisses & hugs I feel like I'm the daughter of a world-renowned chef who is strictly raising me to be his successor and I live only to please him but I have my own secret dream to become a dancer which he would never approve of and this indecision between following my individuality or keeping up my role as the ideal daughter is tearing me apart. my real dad is an electrician.
No, your real dad actually is Joshua. He knows it but you were never told, and he IS specifically talking to you. This channel exists to parent you from afar. That's the plot twist.
Josh there is this little snack thing that i would like to share with you and it tastes good and the way to make it is get some bread as many as you want put it in the toaster and taste them and then spread some butter on the bread and then put some garlic salt the seasoning and put that on top of the toasted bread and then you have a short way to make garlic bread :)

@@mitch-ui8ds contrary to opinion the egg doesn't need to be hard boiled, it's just the way it's sold in the supermarkets as has a longer shelf life if it's on the menu in a pub it will probably be soft like Josh has done.
Love your creativity and enthusiasm! We're making these for the first time for Father's day brunch. 🤞 I have a (tenuously connected) question (request?) for you.... Here goes: because you made this look so doable, I'm hoping you might be willing to share a recipe for Ham Croquettes (aka: Cuban Croquettas de Jamon) with us. Please? I grew up in the Miami area. I learned how to make a killer Cuban-style Picadillo, and arroz con frijoles negro. When we lived there, we'd buy our croquettas either frozen or from a nearby restaurant to reheat later. Sadly, no can do in Arizona, where I now reside. Any chance I can talk you into helping us out?? For years I've been substituting fried slices of (low salt) Spam. While we do get a similar flavor profile from it, it's just not the same.... Thanks so much!

The scotch egg is one of THE BEST English bar snacks in existence! Great with a cold beer and some grainy mustard on the side. Love the idea of keeping the yolk runny!
Runny is traditional.
Swap mustard for HP sauce
@@RS__7 great idea!
I tried these today, best Scotch Egg I've ever had and I've had a few, all bought though, this was my first attempt at home made. I'd recommend these to anyone they are delicious but there one thing not made absolutely crystal clear in the video. Peeled soft boiled eggs are extremely squishy, floppy and delicate, they easily split open with just a bit of pressure, you absolutely must use the cradled method shown in the video to wrap them unless you have the dextrousness of a magician, you do not want to squeeze them, I split my first one very easily just peeling it. Also they pack a fair calorie punch, near 550 per egg by my reckoning (though I did use a smidgen more meat than here at 125g per egg) so having them with chips and baked beans (as I did) is not perhaps the most healthy way to enjoy them, but worth it. Cheers :).
Wow! We made these tonight and they were AMAZING! Thanks so much for the recipe! Keep them coming!
“Every time you go starch on starch you go: oh it has to be too much… it never is… “
Preach it !!!!!
I'm amazed that this man always nails that perfect fifth lol
Hey Josh! I know you probably won't see this but I'd love to see some easy (maybe cheap?) meals for a 5-6 person family! I love your recipes but they'd never be enough for my fam 😂
This is one of my most beloved things to eat! My mother made it all the time and it hits the spot man!
I personally just bake them in the oven instead of frying them. Still comes out very tasty. Oh also I like to scramble the egg and put it into a little plastic thing that lets you boil the eggs in water and then that way I can season and put stuff into the egg.
The reason they're hard boiled is that they're traditionally eaten cold/"room" temp as a lunch thing.
Also because we eat them on the go
Picnic food. The ultimate with Branson Pickles on the side.
it's got more to do with supermarket shelf life, restaurants do them soft boiled all the time.
@@123Andersonev ah maybe because I see it more in street food and not restaurants, I've never really seen it at a market tho
@@123Andersonev genuinely never seen them in a restaurant before and I've lived in a lot of places in England and Scotland
but I could see them being served warm as an appetiser maybe?
Joshua: "Just how we like it on this channel, no vegetables!"
Me after watching too many Uncle Roger videos: "Vegetables taste like sad."
Vegetable make you go "Hayaaaah".
They do indeed
I disagree with uncle roger pls don’t send me to the gulag
I’m not a filthy vegan but vegetables can taste good
@@Mkngs7snaj -cant be sent to the gulag if you send Uncle Roger there first-
Try also: Chorizo sausagemeat, or Cumberland sasagemeat, or bits of black pudding in the meat
That's the way the scotch make it; they add blood sausage.
@@ГошаКлассно As a Scotsman I can say that we generally use haggis as the surround if not using sausage-meat. Though chunks of black-pudding [blood sausage] in the sausage meat is nice too.
this is, without doubt, the most engaging entertaining cooking video i have EVER watched. big fan! thanks. and those eggs looks utterly delicious.
Beautiful!
Now that I know precisely what it is, I’m going to make it!!!
I does look wonderful!
I’ll boil mine starting in boiling water, for 17 minutes (I usually do 20, but I have to allow for possible additional cooking while frying)
Thank you very much, Papa!!
Gordon Ramsay never explains it, on MasterChef.
I love sausage and eggs!!!
I just need to figure out how to get a cheese layer in there.
An egg without cheese, is like a day without sunshine!
You’re not American are you? 😂😂They’re scotch eggs
"Eggs are underrated"

Josh, I'm now wondering how a soy marinated soft boiled ramen-style egg would work for the rice bowl version. Thoughts? 🤔
Mayak egg! So yummy
Sorry Josh you missed the perfect way to serve Scotch Eggs. My all time favorite way to serve Scotch Eggs is is the afternoon before you are to serve this epicurean delight you break out the mandolin and make some sweet music with several or more Russet Potatoes and turn them into the shape of SSFF (Shoe-String French Fries) and it is up to you if you wish to leave the skins on like a heathen and then rinse them in cold water followed by a soak for about one to two hours in ice cold salted water with several tablespoons of sugar added to the water as well. The preheat your frying oil to 275 and blanch fry you SSFF in batches for about 4 minutes or until your SSFF are wiggly and jiggly and place them on a rack gently to drain and then onto a sheet pan in the freezer and once frozen place them in a serving size plastic bags. On the day that you are going to cook your Scotch Eggs (side note you can pre cook and peel your eggs, make the sausage etc. so that your morning/brunch cooking session will not be as hectic. No just prior to frying your Scotch Eggs make yourself a “batch” of Hollandaise Sauce and place it in a wide mouth thermos that has been pre warmed with boiling water and then throughly dried as well as trimming and steaming at least 3 if not 5 pieces of Asparagus for every order served. Now just after removing your or Scotch Egg from its frying oil in another Dutch oven drop an order of your already “blanch” fried shoestring French Fries which you of course have waiting in the freezer and while your Fries are being cooked to a perfect GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious) refresh your Asparagus in a pan of hot salted water and once warmed place on a dry clean towel. By this time your SSFF should be GBD place a nest upon you serving plate along with several slices of beefsteak tomato that like the fries have been salted and upon your nest of SSFF cut your GBD Scotch Egg open lay the Asparagus spears artfully upon the two halves and lavishly sauce with your perfectly prepared Hollandaise sauce garnish with finely chopped chives a serve with a glass of Guinness or Champagne
Sounds delicious. Have you seen his video where he admits that this one was a lie? It's not easy and he had trouble getting a runny yolk and still cooking the sausage enough.
This is one of my favourite snacks
This Easter i saw something by Alton Brown where he stands his eggs instead of biking them. It makes a huge difference in the peel process, is so much easier, and doesn't have the rubberiness that hard(and soft) boiled sometimes gets
Ugh, he's eating rice with *A FORK!?*

@@haihai9022 you ever eat beans or peas with a fork?
If you have, that's the same thing as with rice. Why???
You know how hard it is to get something so small, so separated, just use a spoon, it's not that hard
@@woodonfire7406 I too eat corn and peas with a fort
Yo I love how do-able this recipe is. When I lived in Seattle I was able to acquire all the ingredients for the recipes regardless how obscure they were. But since I moved to Arkansas in a little Podunk town a good hour and a half away from any whole foods or Asian market most of the recipes aren't doable if I don't have the time to spend 2-3 hours driving just for a couple groceries. Hope to see more recipes that don't require oddly obscure asian spices or machines cause they're difficult to come by where I live
Amazon is your friend.
@@JarrodZerr Unless you are unfortunate enough to work in one of Amazon’s warehouses.
Fun fact: Scotch means chopped so not only does scotch eggs mean eggs in chopped pork meat but it also has nothing to do with Scotland in its origins
Do you have proof?
My counter argument would be it’s deep fried therefore there’s a high chance Scotland thought of it
Incorrect. In no language does "Scotch" mean chopped. While some cookbooks have described minced meat as "scotched meat" there's also evidence of scotched food that does not involved chopped ingredients. The origin is still in question, as several different sources claim to have created them in the 1700s, although none are Scottish.
@@Metrion77 It's defintely English
It was first mass produced by Fortnum & Mason and thought to have originated in Yourkshire, nothing to do with Scotland!
I am so glad that you did this video! Years ago I tried and failed them miserably. Ugh! I'm gonna do it your way now!
You rock!!!
The only time I ever made a Scotch Egg, I made it too dry and overcooked. It was still delicious. This looks transcendent.
Hey :). For the next “But Better” episode can you do Twinkie’s pls?
Josh, just pronounce Worcestershire as "wuster" (woo-ster) sauce, beats the complication of adding the "shire" and wrapping up the "ester" in there too.
Woostuw sauwuce
Scottish people: in tears at a Scotch egg on avocado toast
Japanese people: in tears at soy sauce being poured over rice
dont forget the runny eg yolk ,egg should be hard boiled!
But.... raw egg over steaming hot rice and some soy sauce...?
Its not actually Scottish, its Yorkshire creation in the UK. I was surprised when i discovered it.
@@mitch-ui8ds I used to eat them like that and it tastes very good. Rice, egg, hot dogs, and ketchup. The good old days before diets xD.
@@IIIAJHIII as a Scot I don't even care, I'm happy someone 100% thought, we probably shouldn't do this. Screw it, it will be funny. It's deep fried, let's blame the scots. That was the birth of the pizza crunch and the deep fried Mars bar!
Everytime I want to learn how to cook something I've never done before, I just come straight to this channel. It never disappoints.
I became obsessed in making this. I never heard of a scotch egg. My husband was looking for a bottle. Anyways thank you we loved it.
Oh... so this isn't a video validating my breakfast of a glass of scotch and a boiled egg
LOL
Wow....now I wanna try that
No, but Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen" comes surprisingly close!
Consider: Coating the scotch egg in scotch and briefly flambe'ing the sausage.
Egg is a funny word in polish because egg is “jaja” in polish and “jaja” also means balls so when people say they need eggs , some always have 2 with them😏😂
Ja ja is also ha ha in spanish
And eggs are juevos in Spanish which also means balls.
And in persian, Tokhm is eggs and it also means balls😭
Some good old balls facts😂
@@marleymarz2907 lol I always thought it was cojones..I guess it's in mexican tho
In Tunisia which is a north African country we call this dish “the eye of a spanish “ , don’t ask me why lol .
I think the Tunisians have something against the Spanish then haha
@@hiffahyphae6707 it’s a compliment actually , that dish looks like a big eye if you can tell , and spanish women are known for their beauty and their big eyes , that’s why 😂
first video i watch from you, and i'm going to binge!
Hey Josh, A couple of tips if I may... Try 1.5% salt by weight of meat (2 tsp for 2lbs) since Worcester-cester-cester sauce is salty. Also, mix the farce in a stand mixer so as not to warm it with your hands. I pre-chill in the freezer to keep it on the edge of icy. Mix until it sticks to the bottom of your hand when inverted. You got the rest bro. Scotch-egg on!
I was worried that PAPPA won't appear today. Now I can sleep well.

Ramen with a scotch egg sounds like my jamb right there.

I normally subscribe for my liking of the recipes - which, yes I love your recipes as well.
But I subscribes primarily and for the first time ever because of comedy.
Your videos make me love so much and this leads to enjoying cooking even more.
Thankyou so much for that! :3
You made this so much more effort than it needed to be.
The rice & scotch eggs is pretty close in my mind to a (cleaned up) loco moco. It's one of those things that you take a bite and tell yourself "I can never let myself have this again lest I become addicted".
You could always show how to make a proper Caesar salad.
whenever Joshua threatens to withhold kisses & hugs I feel like I'm the daughter of a world-renowned chef who is strictly raising me to be his successor and I live only to please him but I have my own secret dream to become a dancer which he would never approve of and this indecision between following my individuality or keeping up my role as the ideal daughter is tearing me apart.
my real dad is an electrician.
You can live your dream by dancing around your problems 😉
this is a whole plot
No, your real dad actually is Joshua. He knows it but you were never told, and he IS specifically talking to you. This channel exists to parent you from afar. That's the plot twist.
Feel the same. My real dad is dead
Mood 😂
> claims he knows how to pronounce "worcestershire"
> butchers it at the same time he claims it
Josh there is this little snack thing that i would like to share with you and it tastes good and the way to make it is get some bread as many as you want put it in the toaster and taste them and then spread some butter on the bread and then put some garlic salt the seasoning and put that on top of the toasted bread and then you have a short way to make garlic bread :)
An ode to eggs, I agree, eggs are a gift to humanity
As a Brit, I'm being extremely judgemental watching this.

Eggs dipped in butter scotch actually seem very tasty.
Sausage and black pudding is the ultimate scotch egg!!
In my country we call this dish " Camel's Eye "

Honestly, I am filthy, but not that filthy 🤣
Im pretty sure huevos is mexican slang for balls tbh so I laughed at that
@@TrashRat45 huevos means eggs, but i think you can use the word for balls as well :D
@Hey. Its.Just.Jeremy I did... *shame* *ding*
You're not technically wrong. Consider: The b-roll is at the end of the video, and *only fans* watch to the end.
Technically still saying Worcestershire wrong, it’s pronounced ‘wuss-ter-sheer’
Yes good
Or simply wuster-sauce.
As someone who lives on the doorstep of worcestershire I'd say Wuss-ter-sher not sheer.. He's pretty damn close
Me, a Brit, confused as to why a Scotch egg is being eaten with avacado.
Right? And the rice too...I'm bemused
and ir should be hard boiled
Americanized scotch egg
@@mitch-ui8ds contrary to opinion the egg doesn't need to be hard boiled, it's just the way it's sold in the supermarkets as has a longer shelf life if it's on the menu in a pub it will probably be soft like Josh has done.
@@123Andersonev no its supposed to be runny coz when yo bight into it the yolk should have the same texture,im literaally scottish
I've gotta try making this. Never had a Scotch Egg before. Looks amazing.
The scotch egg with rice is just a different presentation of Katsudon. I cant wait to try this. It looks delicious
I've only ever had a scotch egg with a quail egg so it was a little bee bee.
All eggs are babies :( | not a silly vegan
That honestly sounds better as a snack. You can eat it in one bite.
After Babish’s botched vid I don’t know if I can trust this 😂
Literally every scotch egg hand made like this is soft boiled... Or intended to be.
Love your creativity and enthusiasm! We're making these for the first time for Father's day brunch. 🤞
I have a (tenuously connected) question (request?) for you....
Here goes: because you made this look so doable, I'm hoping you might be willing to share a recipe for Ham Croquettes (aka: Cuban Croquettas de Jamon) with us. Please?
I grew up in the Miami area. I learned how to make a killer Cuban-style Picadillo, and arroz con frijoles negro. When we lived there, we'd buy our croquettas either frozen or from a nearby restaurant to reheat later. Sadly, no can do in Arizona, where I now reside.
Any chance I can talk you into helping us out??
For years I've been substituting fried slices of (low salt) Spam. While we do get a similar flavor profile from it,
it's just not the same....
Thanks so much!
Didn't know about this. Will try it. It has my favorite ingredients.
