Unique British Foods That Baffle the Rest of the World

Scotch Eggs

Wondering what a Scotch egg is? Imagine a boiled egg encased in sausage meat, rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until crispy on the outside but still soft inside. It's definitely an unusual combination. Yet, this classic British snack is a favorite, especially in picnic baskets during the summer months—when it's not raining, of course.

Americans generally enjoy eggs, sausage meat, and anything deep-fried, but combining them into a Scotch egg might seem a bit much.
