Guinness World Records has confirmed that speciality egg producer Clarence Court has set a new record for the ‘Largest Vegetarian Scotch egg’, creating an egg that has weighed in at 8.3kg.
In order to break the record, Clarence Court used their in-house chef Leigh Evans to create his own pea, mint & Cheddar Scotch Egg recipe.
Using a 1.7kg ostrich egg, the entire cooking process took just under six hours, with 90 minutes alone spent boiling the egg.
Present on the day was a Guinness World Records adjudicator and the weighing in was supervised by two independent witnesses who weighed the scotch egg using large industrial scales.
Mr Evans said: “This was a first for me, having not created anything so large in my cooking career. I always enjoy a challenge, and this was one that I really did enjoy doing.
“I am delighted to have broken a Guinness World Records title and have had enormous fun creating this much-loved picnic staple but glad I got lots of practice in before the judging day.”
