Scotch ostrich egg

What we have here is a Scotch ostrich egg, prepared by Fraser over at Blogjam. My apologies to those of you that saw this when it was originally posted. It's news to me and, I think, totally worth a post for those who haven't seen it. (Incidentally, today also appears to be Fraser's birthday.) This melon-sized egg was boiled for 90 minutes before being peeled, coated with sausage, breaded and then baked (it's tough to find a fryer big enough for something like that). The results, according to Fraser, are a lot like your standard Scotch egg. Imagine that. There are some other great photos in his original post that give an idea of the scale of this project.
