Scotch eggs: fuckin' tennis balls of luxury - cock on!
Can be a bit dry though - eating 'em by themselves on the go, in the van? Don't be such a bloody chav. Accompaniments is the classy thing to do here, but which ones? Time to experiment.
Now I don't want to puke myself silly doing the Pepsi challenge a hundred times over, so here's a few I tried, one with each bite of the golden breadcrumbed globe:
Cracked pepper: the classic. The French would approve of this, though it doesn't deal with the 'dry piece of rubber' situation.
Mayo: don't be so bloody predictable!
Soy sauce: eeuw.
Spiced chutney: nice, worked well, probably because of the sugar content counteracting the three kilos of salt found in every rounded surprise.
Mango chutney: nice, but a bit 'chicken tikka masala'.
Mustard (English): a logical choice, but a bit overpowering
Mustard (French): good too, less overpowering
Mustard (franchise): the American shit version of mustard works better.
Mustard (wholegrain): wholegrain mustard is for Islington wankers who think they are foodies because they like Nigel Slater - wholegrain mustard isn't even mustard, it's mustard seeds in vinegar: disgusting and I didn't try it, wouldn't insult the Scottish egg with this shit.
Brown sauce: goes well with anything, but a bit breakfasty
Red sauce: is for retards.
Horseradish: Aha! The best of the lot, maybe tied first with the spiced chutney. Went down well, no desire to puke my guys up.
So, I think the most common choices have been covered now. Time to get exotic. Would anyone care to add to this database? I'd advise all to stock up on your scotches, as it's Good Friday tomorrow and your brain will be crucified by your Judas Hangover: perfect conditions for scotch egg experiments...
