Largest Scotch Egg-world record set by Lee Streeton

 LONDON, UK -- Lee Streeton, who heads the restaurant's kitchen within London’s Brown’s Hotel, created a 6.2 kg Scotch egg after a eight hours cooking process-setting the world record for the Largest Scotch Egg .

  It took eight hours to make and will cost £145.

  Mr Streeton said: "Scotch eggs epitomise good, honest food, so what better than to make an extra large version using the best of British?" As a chef that is passionate about sourcing local ingredients, it has been enormous fun to re-create this much-loved picnic staple and champion a food that has been part of our history for hundreds of years."

   Clarence Court Director Lisa Rowe explained how the idea came about: "The ostrich egg is the latest – and largest - addition to our range, so it only seemed fitting to let Lee Streeton have a bit of fun with it and cook up something rather different for The Albemarle carving trolley."



  The eggs, from specialist egg supplier Clarence Court, come from free-range birds on a Lincolnshire farm which only lay once every three days or so.

   Lisa Rowe, director of Clarence Court, said: "The largest egg of any bird species, this product promises to be talking point at very large breakfast tables across the country."
