''Despite popular belief, scotch eggs are not actually Scottish. They were invented by that very English department store, Fortnum & Mason, in the 19th century. They were developed as posh picnic food and though they are a welcome addition to any hamper, I think they are at their best eaten as soon as they are cooked when the yolks are still runny.''
