We cooked these in Manchester as our answer to the famous Manchester egg. We had the idea to do this when in bars in Scotland, drinkers would take a pickled egg, mash it into a bag of cheese and onion crisps and wash this mess down with a pint… terrible as it sounds we have turned it into culinary keeper.
