Platter of standard and red vegetarian Scotch eggs being served as food tasters
by The Thomas-Ferdinand Gallery

NO. 11014

The Scotch egg’s origins, likely from the UK in the 18th or 19th century, spark debate. Fortnum & Mason might have introduced them in the 1730s as travel food. Some think they’re inspired by the Indian ‘Nargisi Kofta’ or similar North African dishes. Another theory suggests a Scottish start with mutton, and a Yorkshire claim credits William J. Scott & Sons with a fish paste version. A British culinary mainstay now, they’re enjoyed at picnics and pubs, with many variations including vegetarian.
