What exactly is a scotch egg? According to wikipedia, it is a hard boiled egg, wrapped in a sausage mixture, coated with breadcrumbs and deep-fried, originating from London.

| Look at that deep fried breading! Look at the still runny yolk!! |
Deep fried goodness! But where can I get this in DC you ask? I don't actually know! I've never stumbled upon it in any other restaurants! I've heard that a few Irish/British pubs (Againn DC and Royal Mile Pub) supposedly serve them, but I've yet to confirm that.
The rest of my meal:
 |
| Smoked Short Ribs with Apricots!
Very tender and flavorful. The apricots were not what I expected (in a good way!) |
 |
| Pecan Pie
my friend ordered this. I'm not a fan of pecan pie, but he looked like he was enjoying it! |

when you said that scotch eggs originated in London, I immediately thought of Tea and Sympathy in NYC. They specialize in British fare, and do serve Scotch eggs on the menu. Maybe we can check it out next time you are in town =)
