The Perfect Snack?

June 5, 2008...

...at approximately 11:15 a.m.: TBF buys his first Scotch egg.

11:31 a.m.: Jeanette congratulates TBF on his purchase.

11:32 a.m.: TBF takes his first bite.

11:33 a.m.: Crumbs on lips, and half of the egg already on the way to his stomach, TBF wonders why it has waited 45+ years to sample this Scottish delicacy.

Let's look at the numbers...

The nutritional information states that each egg contains:
2.3 grams of fiber...

310 calories...

20.6 grams of fat!
That shouldn't be too many Weight Watchers points, right?

Since I only get 23 points per day, I think I shall be skipping the Scottish eggs!

michael - I try to stick to chewing each mouthful 30 times before swallowing. However, I think I may have failed in this case.

And you haven't tried that famous Glasgow delicacy, the deep-fried Mars Bar? I believe it's only 8623 Weight Watcher's points.

hb8 - One of my disappointments during this trip was that I never found any place that served this kind of stuff. As a matter of fact, I couldn't find a chip shop of any kind. I ended up having fish and chips at our hotel in Loch Lomond.
