What a dummy, I missed step #2... I thought to myself boy that would be crunchy.
I'm guessing minced is about the same as ground.

Would pork sausage have the a similar consistency to pork mince (ground pork)?1

cheers!
Our favorite local Irish Pub has a pretty authentic scotch eggs, and I must admit, I do partake from time to time! Amazing with a really strong seedy mustard.1 -

Sausage meat is what's traditionally used for Scotch eggs, it's then coated in breadcrumbs before frying or baking. Using plain mince and skipping the breadcrumbs will reduce the carbs. Really just depends on your carb goals as to which option to use. If you can spare the carbs, go with the sausage, it will taste better and will be easier to prepare. Ground pork on its own is often too moist to be easily molded.1 -
Sounds fantastic and very rich and filling! Definitely on the list1

I'm making them tomorrow2

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!!

Never heard of "pork mince", what's that? Can you buy it at a store? Or is it pork that you mince (cut up)? If so, what kind of pork and how finely do you chop it?
Thank you,

Apparently, "pork mince" is not American, looks like something you get in the UK. Sounds yummy though....

@DittoDan mince meat is the same as ground meat in America. It's meat that has gone through a grinder. Minced pork / ground pork it's the same
The only thing that is tricky here is mincemeat pies (often just labelled mince pies) it's actually chopped up pieces of dried fruit in a thick spiced sauce, inside a pie, served around xmas. It confused me so much as a child, I was convinced there was meat in there and i didn't want to eat it mixed with fruit lol.3 -

I went through the same thing as a kid -- didn't actually eat a mince tart till I was in my 30s, I recall. Now love them, but they are waaaay too carby to consume on LCHF!

I've made them using ground sausage here in the US. Time to make them again! Thanks Sabine!2

Folks here in Maine used to make mince meat pies with venison or beef. Plus the dried fruit, usually currents and raisins. My mother used a vegetarian recipe that used green tomatoes in place of the meat with raisins. It's the spices that make it so yummy.0

I make Scotch eggs with ground turkey wrapped around the eggs, less shrinkage when cooking.2
-
oh wow, I must make these on my next day off....
do they freeze ok?0 -
Everytime I think about making Scotch eggs, I just make ground meat and eggs instead. Or eat cold meat and hardboiled eggs. The form factor is a novelty, but it seems like form over function to me.1

We'll call this quadruplicate since the last one had my edited line!0

Ugh, duplicate post.0

Make that triplicate.0

@SlimSonic Yes, they freeze great. I think it is I Breathe, I'm Hungry who has the recipe to do them with soft yolks.

I've done them wrapped in bacon, too, though I prefer without: http://cavemanketo.com/scotch-eggs/
You can also egg wash them and roll in parmesan and/or pork rinds, etc. if you want the crispy coating.
While they're great hot, you can also eat them cold - and I second eating them with AWESOME mustard.
I'm wanting to try inside out scotch eggs, too, as I imagine this is dreamy with a runny yolk.

That's a popular method here @kirkor Since Scotch eggs aren't exactly exciting fare anymore, they're just a basic "ready meal" staple, a lot of restaurants do a "deconstructed" Scotch egg to elevate it a bit and make it more fancy.0 -

While I'm a tad lazy cook, like kirkor, just as likely to boil the eggs, and cook the meat and eat together, --- the novelty factor- and feed to people visiting factor seem most attractive- and you can freeze- that is wild, I'll try in a few days when I am home again. Thanks0 -

Oh I love mince pie! Interestingly as I got older the more heartburn they caused me. I've come to the point where I don't even make them for Christmas anymore!0 -
