What is this British dish?

A Scotch egg is a classic British dish consisting of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated with breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried until golden and crispy. The origins of the Scotch egg are debated, but it has become a popular snack or picnic food in the United Kingdom and beyond. To make a Scotch egg, a boiled egg is peeled and coated with seasoned sausage meat, often flavored with herbs and spices. The coated egg is then rolled in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating, before being fried until the sausage meat is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Scotch eggs can be served hot or cold, often sliced in half to reveal the layers of savory sausage and creamy egg inside. They are enjoyed for their satisfying combination of flavors and textures, making them a favorite in British cuisine.
