Duo make 'world's largest Scotch egg' - and it's enormous
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 23 – Oliver Paterson and Phoenix Ross broke a 20-year record with a 7.81 kg Scotch egg containing 24,000 calories made from ostrich eggs and 22 lbs of sausage meat.
- Oliver Paterson and Phoenix Ross from Enfield, North London, created the world's largest Scotch egg in July 2025, weighing 7.81 kilograms after cooking.
- They attempted the record twice; their first try on June 10 failed when the egg fell apart due to heat and structural issues during frying.
- The successful Scotch egg contained a 4-pound ostrich egg shipped from Scotland encased in 22 pounds of sausage meat, coated with semolina and panko breadcrumbs, then fried and baked.
- Oliver explained that their policy was to ensure all the food was used responsibly, so they transformed the 24,000-calorie egg into 19 burritos to prevent any of it from being discarded.
- After breaking a nearly 20-year-old record, the duo are now in Guinness World Record history and have set their sights on more records, including a marathon-related challenge.
