what a unique recipe! I had a hard time dipping the eggs in the eggwash without the pork falling apart, but once I got it all together and fried these babies in hot oil, they came out delicious. They looked monstrous (and very entertaining to look at I might add; hubby calls them "odd-balls"), so I cut'em into quarters. They were filling and wonderful. I serve them with some ketchup. Thank you Mysterygirl!

This recipe came out PERFECTLY! I used to hang out at a tavern run by a salty old Scotsman back in the day and he made these for every occasion from SuperBowl Sunday to St Patrick's Day. I made a batch for St. Patrick's and took them in to the office. Even the usual finicky crowd couldn't resist them and then in the afternoon coming back around, snooping for seconds.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
