Jeremy,
I was a huge fan of Cranks when I lived in London. I wasn’t vegetarian then (I have been for >20 years now since moving to the USA) but their food was always sensational.I have two of their cookbooks but the Scotch recipe is not in it. Can you publish here or email directly? paulflattery@me.com.
Thanks!

Hi Jeremy! I would absolutely love to try your scotch egg recipe. I prefer to cook with “real” ingredients instead of fake meat products so your version sounds perfect! Feel free to post the recipe here if you like. I’m sure there are others out there who would be interested in trying your recipe. Thanks!!

You obviously don’t understand the concept of a Scotch Egg so it’s fair to assume that you have no idea what they are, or why they are called Scotch Eggs.

How about “Egg Skull Splits” then, would you prefer that? Or maybe “egg wrapped in dog poo”. What’s your problem pal ?

I have an idea…..instead of stealing the name of something to suit your personal preferences…. how about calling your product something else. Wow !!!! what an idea !!!! Twat waffles…. the lot of you…. lulz !!!

Back in the 1980s I sampled Vegetarian Scotch Eggs in Cranks Restaurant here in the UK and the chef who made them was one of my customers in my trade, so I asked him how he made them. I was given an idea that I’ve since developed to make them without using any fake meat, all it needs is buckwheat; ground nuts; wholemeal breadcrumbs; grated carrot; onion and tomato paste, plus a little thickening from veg stock and flour.

The coating is seasoned with any herbs you like and I then wrap the mouldable gunge all around the hard boiled egg, and form it into a sphere with hands. Wrapping cling-film can make the formation easier and then I roast them in a fan oven for about 25 minutes and when cool they’re absolutely fabulous and everyone wants the recipe even meat eaters who normally like the sausage meat ones.

If you’d like my recipe in detail I’ll gladly post it up here. Or anyone can write to me on my website email.

What a great idea! I’ve never had real Scotch eggs and am vegetarian, but they intrigued me. Your veg version sounds really interesting as a hearty meal…especially with roasted or pan fried potatoes or yams. Yum! I’ll have to print out your recipe for future reference.
