I had a craving for Taco Bell while in France. A deep, dark craving for a bean burrito.

My local supermarket is finally selling smoked salmon pinwheels again.  :mmm: A more perfect snack food to chase single malt scotch hasn't been invented yet.
It ran out again.  :(  I guess I have to go back to chasing with Triple Stackers.

I had lunch at an Irish pub today and had a Scotch egg for the first time.  Delicious.  :mmm:

Good grief, that's taken you a long time, especially given your Ulster-Scots heritage. 

When a student, a lunch based on two scot eggs used to be a staple of mine.  :)

Though I'm guessing the scotch egg as nothing to do with either Scotland, Ireland or for that matter wholesome eggs.   :bowler:

I don't know when the Scotch egg was invented, but it was probably long after my ancestors got the hell out of Blighty.

I'm gonna guess it's either late Victorian or 1952 post-rationing ?   :)

edit:
Apparently not:

The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738,[1][2] but they may have been inspired by the Moghul dish nargisi kofta ("Narcissus meatballs").[3]

The earliest printed recipe is the 1809 edition of Mrs. Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery. Mrs. Rundell—and later 19th-century authors—served them hot, with gravy

Yes, that's after most of my ancestors got the hell out. :)

Most of my British ancestors were Quakers who came to America prior to 1700.

No offence, but that looks like something from the 1973 British Bad Food Guide.

Spam? Solid scrambled eggs? Taters look nice tho'

Had a burger at the much hyped Meat Liquour at lunchtime as I found myslef in Marylebone at the right time and theer were no queues. Decent enough but not worth the hype. At the end of the day there's only so much you can do with a burger.

What's the alternative to solid scrambled eggs?
