Tobi the lavender warrior mentioned to me, what he calls EGG SURPRISE. A hard boiled egg wrapped in mince. So... basically a scotch egg but less gross? OK.
PS this is something I made like two weeks ago, but then I lost my camera, and then I just got... yknow.. a little procrastinate-y.
Now, just a large scotch egg on its own sounds like a terrible meal, to be honest. So I decided to try making some POTATO DISCS. Like potato wedges, but... well, you know.. discier.
Sliced them all and dunked them in a mixture of olive oil, cajun and mixed fajita spices. Then they went in the oven for like 35 mins.
Here I made a mincy mixture of beef, onion and diced basil. I'm a little concerned about my slightly large onions, this mince might not stay together so well. But I'm only making 2 giant meatballs, so all I need to do is get it right... twice...
I boiled these eggs the day before, since a boiled egg will keep just great and it saves a bit of time. PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT AT THE START HAHAHA.
So they're all wrapped up and in the frying pan.
WELL, That failed.
Post-Mortem: *** Well, the giant meatball tasted good and all, but I did basically wreck it. And it basically was just a meat and onion patty with an egg in it. However, what saves the score on this one was those potato discs, they are AMAZINGGGGG. You have the flavours and firmness of a wedge, but with the greater surface area for a better flavour to potato ratio, not to mention a greater crispy-outer-bit to potato ratio!

How to Stamppot LIKE A MAN
Mode: 2 manly dudes
Hardware: 2 manly pans
Accessories: 1 manly glass of pepsi max
My straight up dog bro of the Belgiums, (that's the sturdy pectorals capital of the world) has oft roared his appreciation of the meal known as STAMPPOT. Today I declared that I would do this dish some justice. I have assembled the greatest team of badass ingredients to wage war on the scourge known as hrungnir.
No wait, I mean hunger.
Potatoes, the American-born spud stud voted UK and Belgium's #1 hunkiest vegetable for 7 years running.
Spinach, the patron vegetable of burly sailors. Famous agriculturalist and scimitar-wielding badass sort Ibn al-'Awwam describes spinach as 'The captain of leafy greens.'
Shiitake Mushroom, the spirit fungus of the samurai warrior, whose Shii energy, if channeled correctly, has the power to produce a rich umami flavour.
(not pictured.) Beef. Yknow, from cows.
I carve up the potatoes in the shape of minaturised abs. Skin on, as nature intends. They go in hot water for a good 20-30 minutes.
After the potatoes have had some time, I prepare the beef and mushrooms; you can use corned beef, minced beef, proper beef. I actually used leftover burgers because I had a ton of them.
Here I flexed my triceps (not pictured) and mashed the potato and spinach together. They combine forces during the intensity of battle and do well together.
Now I heap them all on top of eachother, with a helping of ketchup and sweet chilli sauce. As you can see, It takes the form of an erupting volcano. Symbolic of our efforts.
Post-Mortem: **** Nothing says burly man-food like a big bowl of pink tinted mush. These potatoes are now bro-tatoes. Your dinner is served.
