Scotch egg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A typical packet of supermarket scotch eggs
Inside a scotch eggA Scotch egg is a snack food of Scottish origin consisting of a cold, hard-boiled egg removed from its shell, wrapped in a sausage meat mixture, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. It is eaten cold, typically with salad and pickles.
Scotch eggs were traditionally a Scottish breakfast or picnic food, designed to be eaten fresh. However, in the UK at least, they have acquired an unfashionable, downmarket reputation due to the preponderance of pre-packed, plastic-wrapped Scotch eggs sold at convenience stores and service stations. These are generally made with very cheap meat and eggs

It's been a little while since I was at Feathers, but when I was there I ordered Scotch eggs and a brew. The item was on the snack menu brought to the table. The order arrived with salad. No takeout, as far as I know - it's strictly pub grub - and very good.

The Brick Bakery in the Distillery used to make it, but come to think of it....I don't remember seeing it when I went last week. You might try calling them to ask.

Every ex-pat scot knows (or should know) about the But 'n Ben Butcher and Bakery in Scarborough (McCowan and Ellesmere). It's the only place in TO to get authentic haggis in my opinion. I beleie they have scotch eggs, but call first before making the trek out there.

I'm a transplanted Brit and in my humble opinion nothing beats homemade scotch eggs. They're really easy to make too...
I use one of those "logs" of Maple Leaf sausage meat cut into six more or less equal pieces, hard boil six eggs. Beat one extra egg in a large bowl. One by one dust the eggs with flour, dip them into the beaten egg and then roll in breadcrumbs (Panko, storebought run-of-the-mill or homemade). Meanwhile heat oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry in two batches of three until the outsides are dark golden brown. Drain on paper towels and try not to eat them all at one sitting.....Apparently they're good with hot sauce too - as I'm a traditionalist I don't know about that :)
