For as long as I can remember I’ve gone to renaissance festivals with my family. One of the great things about festivals is all the food that you can get while there. My favorite food at Scarborough Renaissance Fair is the Scotch Egg. While attending culinary school I finally learned how to make them myself.

What You Need

1. Mixing Bowl
2. Deep Pot
3. Oil (to fry) 
4. Thermometer
5. Pot of boiling water
6. Baking Sheet

In school we used a deep fryer but you can use a deep pot of oil to fry them in.

I love to travel for all the different cuisine I can taste. When I am not traveling to new places, I try to visit as many local food festivals and events as possible. I have been an adventurous foodie my whole life. When I was a kid I convinced my mom to let me try escargo during a cruise vacation. She made me eat a full one despite my protest since I ordered it. I was curious about different foods from a very young age.
