Scotch eggs- (I once made them as a child at guide camp I think!).
Hard boil an egg. Peel. Take raw sausage meat and form round egg approx half or quarter inch thick. Try to seal it well or it will fall off. Roll in breadcrumbs. Deep fry till saugage is cooked (or shallow fry turning often.
Goodluck

ps can someone explain the terms in American cooking instructions like "broil" etc

Hi Firsttimer, thanks for the recipe i think i would get in a right mess attempting them, not sure they would be edible when i'd finished.
I'll be interested in what "broil" means also. [msnwink]

Broil means grill.

Thanks Blott, you are clearly a modern man. My hubby's domain also.
Iv'e not been trained and it's not on my job description............[msnwink]

Can anyone think of any other cooking terms I might find on frozen or ready meals or packets that are different in America?

**blott** · 11-02-2004, 18:59

Only other really different thing in US cooking is that they use 'cups' to measure with or Imperial and nothing's in metric so you'd better 'bone up' on Imperial before you go if you're young enough only to know metric! [msnwink]

Other than that, it's relatively straight forward and most frozen or ready made meals will usually be microwaveable anyway.
