On Eating a Scotch EggThou wert not fashioned by human hand
O Orb of Meaty Wonder whose fiery
Sunset hues betray thy celestial origin
Thou Sphaere which hath plungèd from the
Realm of Jove Himself to our sublunary plane;
Th'encrusting rough crumb contrasteth with
The smoothe interior as doth the Cocoa-nut
Conceal her milky bounty 'neath the vile coir;
Or the Pastye of Corn-walle enfold its
Toothsome treasure in a rugged carapayse
Thy fleshy ramparts surrender to the dental foe
Revealing thy tender myst'ries to the eater's gaze
An egge of hen artfullye concealed in a womb of pork
No finger food this for hungry Musulman or Jew
Thou cunning Caledonian culinary conundrum !!
Certain bolde gentlemen of that Boreal nation
Do not venture forth without a sporrane
That is to say a satchell of badgere-skyn
In which are concealed a brace of this delicacie
As it were a second payre of stoones
For th'amayzement of the ladyes
And the annoyance of the SassenackesLast edited by the bear; 02-05-2012 at 09:19. -

Can I just say, I love Scotch Eggs.
Like more than I love people. Way more than I like people.... I could easily kill people to get my hands on two scotch eggs right now.
bet you couldn't manage two of these puppies
