well what about the scotch egg ?

from wiki ...

A Scotch egg consists of a shelled hard-boiled egg, wrapped in a sausage meat mixture, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. Scotch eggs are commonly eaten cold, typically with salad and pickles.
Contrary to popular belief (and despite being the butt of a number of English comedians' jokes about the Scottish diet), Scotch Eggs were actually invented by the famous London department store, Fortnum & Mason in 1851.

We all know the Scots invented everything whilst sitting on park benches drinking Buckfast and Tennents Super..the English simply sat with them for 5 minutes then went away to claim the invention for themselves.. It's called "Intelligence"
