If they're both warm then defo a sausage roll, but if they're cold then a scotch egg hands down. Although given the choice i'd take a spam fritter as nowhere outside of Hull does spam fritters.
 
They were invented by Fortnum & Mason's in London in 1738, so have nothing to do with Scotland(apparently to 'scotch' something means to roll it in breadcrumbs and fry it).
 
Hard one, if it was a cooplands or morrisons sausage roll, then it would be a sausage roll but if it wasn't, then it would be a scotch egg - maybe a poll should be involved?
 
I will never forget the Spam Fritters they did at the Subway Street Chippy back in the day.

Awesome batter it had and the spam was done to a turn.

But as it's not an option, I'm going with Scotch Egg. (Fresh and warm.)
 
scotch egg , made by me mam , still hot after cooking , i dont like those cold rubbery efforts from Skellys ,Fletchers and anywhere else.

sausage rolls , again i can eat any of those freshly made ones - Asda do a nice range of quirky flavoured fresh mini rolls too
 
Scotch egg all the way

Here Here. not even close. if people actually knew what went into a sausage roll they would never eat one again.

Surely the sausage meat that makes scotch eggs can't be that different from the meat that makes sausage rolls?

I'm pretty sure it's all bum hole, hoof and bollocks but I still like a warm
sausage roll with HP sauce.
 
it is the same end of a pig as far as i know .... but you did add an important ingredient , HP sauce ... defo the choice of dip for a scotch egg and a soggy roll for that matter
 
it really depends. mass produced commercial ones can be bloody awful but home made ones, where you know the ingredients that are going in are brilliant.
