Scotch eggs are making a serious comeback and rightfully so, they make ideal picnic fare as they are essentially an individual self-contained mini meal.  The new wave of modern scotch eggs are all about quality and flavor and there are plenty of variations to the normal coating of sausage meat (I have quite successfully added black pudding to the mixture).  Chorizo scotch eggs will make you question why you ever had eggs in any other way, surprisingly easy to make and the perfect picnic food combined with a paprika spiced potato and mint salad.
