Thanks Gia, it tasted great too. I made 2 of them and gave the other one to my parents and my Mom ate it all without sharing. And sausage doesn't have to be cured, especially for a scotch egg. You can just spice up some ground meat and form it around the egg. I'm not delicate enough to do all the necessary steps to make something like a scotch. Breaded, deep-fried sausage and egg would prolly make my heart explode anyway.
