Victorian Scotch Woodcock - Savoury Scrambled Eggs
2
People talking
A very "upper-crust" savoury scrambled eggs recipe which dates back to Victorian times; this dish would have been served at the END of a large five or six course meal! Nowadays, it is more likely - one assumes - that it will be served at breakfast, brunch or as a light snack! This uses Gentleman's Relish, I have the "secret" recipe posted on Zaar! Recipe #228778

I will be adding this to my regular rotation...mmm-mmm-good! Wasn't sure what Gentleman's Relish was & in a hurry to make, and completely overlooked the DESCRIPTION (well, duh) so just skipped it altogether. *Made for ZWT 3 British Recipe*Reply
