Despite popular belief, Scotch eggs are not actually Scottish. They were invented by that very English department store Fortnum & Mason in the 19th century. They were developed as a posh picnic food and though they are a welcome addition to any hamper, we think they are at their best eaten as soon as they are cooked when the yolks are still runny.

  • @ShaneWilliamsHitler erm, that's 1:45 minutes (not secs) boiling, plus deep frying plus oven baking - those eggs are going to be cooked.

  • IT'S CALLED T-E-L-E-V-I-S-I-O-N

    MAGIC!

  • @ShaneWilliamsHitler mate, that's the difference between you and chef Blumenthal and all the other chefs.

  • THIS IS BULLSHIT.

    Tried 1:45 secs to boil egg. Eggs were like water

    Triest 3 mins to boil egg, eggs still fell apart when peeling the shell.

    Rubbish!!

  • @kdg5636 Yes, you're right. 

    Well, actually I thoroughly enjoy YouTube . . . . it is a wonderful resource, a limited but highly valued library. However, I think you are right to dissuade me from any pure advertising videos. Not my cup of tea.

    Scotch eggs, on the other hand, quite an interesting cultural phenomena.

    Good fortune and long life to you.

  • @sesanner than don't even get in to youtube at all. what a little whiny bitch. i'm just glad to watch heston cook didn't even mind about the ad.

    You are so right. Although I do not bitch, I do comment on a wide variety of YouTube videos. The diversity is amazing and one of the many laudable aspects of YouTube. Advertising, on the other hand, I do not need. I can encounter advertising all day long on other less-democratic resources.

    I would much rather find creative, even artistic videos on YouTube, like yours, eh?

  • THEY LOOK AMAZING

  • i bought a box of large organic duchy freerange eggs yesterday at waitrose. Got home and fancied some pancakes. I cracked one egg into the flour (not taking much notice) cracked a second yolk and bang, a double yolker.

    Then today, fancied some heuvos rancheros, cracked two eggs, both double yolk ! apparently theres one tenth of one per cent chance of cracking open a double yolker and so far, at 3 out of 4 (to my knowledge... maybe the first was a double too !)

    i'm doing the lottery next !
