Teenagers & Midnight Snacks - Part 2..The Scotch Egg

As a follow on to my earlier post about my 18 yr old and his 'Midnight Snack', I thought I'd post this, just to show that..Erm..well...yes, my Teenagers do also eat all nature of food, healthy & unhealthy, basically anything that isn't nailed down.

Last night, after hearing the tell-tale signs of rummaging in the kitchen, cupboards opening/closing, the rustling of packets, I ventured off the sofa to find him with a Scotch egg in hand.
After just one bite, he announced 'I always think these are a bit dry, it needs something??' He then started opening cupboard doors, obviously searching for some inspiration, while I looked on, intrigued.

'Oooh, yeah, that'll work' and produced a bottle of HP brown sauce, which he then proceeded to squeeze into the hole he'd made in the scotch egg. I kid you not, he filled it with brown sauce!?!

I'm not quite sure if this is inspired or a just little gross.....But it made me laugh!


And yes, I made him let me take a photo before he ate it, you know, just as proof of my obvious failing in the parenting department to instill the merits of 'Healthy' eating! But what the hell, he said it was 'Delicious!!'

  1. Okay - now I have a visual of a scotch egg - but what the hell is brown sauce???? What is it "normally" used for?

  2. Brown sauce has similar uses to ketchup. Only of course its brown! Its a spicy, fruity, vinegar based sauce, used on a 'Full English' breakfast of sausage, bacon, eggs & beans. But people use it on all sorts. Its especially yummy on top of cheese on toast (grilled cheese?)
