Cumberland Scotch Egg | Traditional Snack From Cumbria, England | TasteAtlas

Cumberland scotch egg

Cumberland scotch egg is a type of scotch egg originating from England, and they're especially popular in Cumbria. This snack consists of soft-boiled eggs that are wrapped in Cumberland sausage meat, coated with breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried in hot oil until golden and crispy.


The scotch eggs are often flavored with ingredients such as sage, nutmeg, mace, parsley, rosemary, marjoram, and black pepper. Once fried, Cumberland scotch eggs can be enjoyed warm, but they’re mostly consumed chilled and paired with pickles on the side.
