Guidelines for beard wearers eating a Scotch Egg as a ‘substantial’ pub meal issued
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has issued guidelines for beard wearers who may under new pub restrictions in force in some areas of England from December 2nd decide to eat a Scotch Egg as a ‘substantial’ pub meal.
The campaigners say that there are a considerable range of Scotch Eggs, meat and vegetarian, but the specific concern is with the consistency of the egg at the centre of the delicacy.
Scotch Eggs with ‘soft’ as opposed to ‘hard’ eggs are currently popular and eating these can cause issues for the hirsute. Getting egg yolk in the beard is particularly messy and can easily cause significant follicle damage.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Scotch Eggs, whatever variety is chosen, can be a very tasty and substantial meal but in eating one the beard wearer needs to both prepared and to take precautions.
Beard Liberation Front guidelines for Scotch Egg eating
1 Always eat the Scotch Egg, either soft or hard, with a knife and fork. Eating it directly from hand to mouth poses a significant risk of getting crumbs or egg yolk lodged in the beard.
2 Where possible use a napkin to protect the beard when eating the egg. This can capture crumbs and yolk
3 When eating a soft Scotch Egg the BLF recommends cutting the egg into relatively small pieces to maximise the area of meat or vegetarian casing compared to the egg yolk.
4 If either egg yolk or crumbs do interface with the beard take immediate action to remove these from the beard.
