They looked great. However, and this is just an observation, while you (quite correctly) stressed the use of high quality ingredients you compared the results to the supermarkets' standard offerings. Could you not have included at least one premium brand?
It’s an interesting point, thanks. I went back and forth on this but ultimately decided to go with “the same level” offering from each shop to try and compare fairly (and as I hint at in the video, all except Asda were made by exactly the same manufacturer, Geo Adams (owned by Pilgrim foods) and were, to all intents and purposes, exactly the same product. In hindsight that made the comparison with home-made somewhat unfair, but I don’t think even a premium would ultimately have come close to freshly made. I’m also willing to bet that even the premium brands are actually made by the same manufacturers, but I’ll definitely do some research and report back on that point 👍 Thanks for the though-provoking comment, I’ll definitely bear it in mind for future comparison videos 🙂
LOL!! We can't buy scotch eggs at the markets here in the States. I had a great Scottish egg at a pub in Vegas. They actually whipped the yolk portion, it was excellent.
Well if you can't buy them, at least you can make them! 😊 I just went down a rabbit hole searching the Internet for scotch eggs and other British foods in Vegas, kind of surprised (but happy) to see scotch eggs are available there - I might have to plan a trip some time to try them out! Thanks 🙂
You could do them in the oven (or air fryer, which is really just a tabletop convection oven) but it’ll take longer (maybe ten to fifteen minutes at about 200C, turning a few times during cooking) and the results won’t be nearly as good in terms of crunch and colour IMHO.
You're scotch eggs looked absolutely delicious,the looked of the charts,compared to super market versions,looking forward to giving them a try.👌👍💥
Awesome! They really are a totally different thing than the ready-made ones. Hope you enjoy them! 😋
Great stuff!
Thanks! 😊

instead of frying ever thought of doing them in the oven, or air fryer? Would it work

Looked easy but never is 😂
Definitely worth it though 😊
