Very POSH! BISTRO 2 Runny Scotch Eggs Review

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hi all, just a heads up. I had the other Scotch egg cold and the yolk was exactly the same as the cooked one. Gel like 😂 cheers, hope this clears the over cooking problem. 👍this video was filmed about the 25th of Feb. 😊

They've maybe injected it with a preservative or something.

Despite the M&S price I ordered these for home delivery and was quite looking forward to them. What arrived was potato dauphinoise! A very comparable substitution indeed. Honestly I remember Asda used to be good but no more. I have enjoyed the Sainsbury's ones and I would recommend them. Keep up the good work!

First developed by Fortnum and Mason department store in 1738,the Scotch egg was a favored snack for Londoners looking for something that could be easily transported as they headed to their country homes or out for a quaint picnic so Google says.Oh how I miss the Country Home and Quaint Picnics.Just not enough hours in the Day don't you know 😂

[@peteseymour9514]

Not sure if anyone has said this already, but, just in case... I love these! From experience I can tell you that if they are slightly undercooked the yolk will be gel like, get the timing 'Spot on' and they will be nice and runny. Don't forget the old Appliances may vary thing. I'd add another minute and try it again, it is a better experience.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers mate,

[@uweinhamburg]

Big respect for the food engineers which made this possible! To keep the egg yoke still this soft after factory production and transport and storage is a great result 👍 Also, to maintain food safety (to eat) for a non fully cooked egg over a longer time must be pretty difficult.

[@stewartgovan1672]

Hi Gareth. Those looked amazing. I love a good scotch egg. Suppose you don't mind paying a bit more when it looks as good as those. That's a meal in itself that is. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland.

[@conormacdougal2344]

When you say it's a treat, my thought was, yes it is a treat for Asda as they get idiots to shell out (no pun intended) £4 for these. 2 scotch eggs = 4 link sausages + 2 eggs = £2 at most. Glad you liked it, When they had these for sale at the Canteen fresh food (costing a £1 for two) I took them home at when cut open I seriously thought the yolk was plastic, i.e. the articial eggs they are producing in China. I like my scotch eggs tohave a hard-boiled yoke. BTW cold food is supposed to be served at room temperature, NOT straight out of the fridge (except Ice Cream of course), that's why you should have preserves and chutneys standing for 30 mins+ out of the fridge before use. Not that they need putting in the fridge in the first place.

[@NGT4LIFE]

They are hand made. The labour isn't free, the packaging isn't free. The facility where they are made isn't free. Plus they need to make a profit.

[@theprophet9429]

Do you mean they cost £2 to make, or they should be priced at £2?

[@Raynard666]

I’ve only ever had two that were really runny but they were £4 each. They’re actually cooked twice before you buy them, firstly the egg is soft boiled then coated then deep fried. But you got a bargain there JH are £2.45 reduced, for one. They’re actually new in at Asda well at mine.

[@gerrylewis5281]

In the past I’ve made my own Scotch Eggs. I found it is easier to get a runny egg was to deep fry them. I still can’t figure out how they keep the yoke runny after cooking at 180 for 6 minutes. They did look nice though, but £4 nice? Maybe not. I like my Scotch Eggs cold with a ploughmans.

[@redavatar]

You know, whenever I see packaging for UK food, it always comes with a huge list of (often dodgy) ingredients. Scotch eggs should be only a few ingredients: - eggs - mince meat - some spices for seasoning of the mince - bread crumbs That's maybe 10 ingredients in total. What you get is ... 30 ingredients. Whenever "meat" is involved you see tons of filler because the meat is nearly always cut down with loads of flour & other cheap filler which massively pads the ingredient list. If you look at the percentages of meat & egg, there's 28% meat filler vs 35% actual meat! Over 40% of the meat is not meat!

I've had these from Morrisons . They do sell them seperate at £2.00 a pop. Expensive but I much prefer these runny egg ones.
