These are as enjoyable to make as they are to eat. In Britian they are eaten cold like we do our deviled eggs, here in our pubs or at home they are usually eaten warm or hot. How about Scotch Eggs, an entree that’s usually associated picnics in Great Britain. Scotch Eggs are to the English like potato salad is to us here in America. Her in the United States, many “British-style” pubs and eateries serve fresh-made Scotch eggs. These are usually served hot, with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, hot sauce or hot mustard sauce.
