Oxwell & Co and scotch eggs: British food today

We hear UK celeb chef Mark Sargeant (a regular on television shows like BBC’s Saturday Kitchen and on the Food Network UK) is going to open contemporary British gastrobar Oxwell & Co (5 Ann Siang Hill) in August/September, and we can’t wait. But till then, will satisfy our British food cravings with the many versions of scotch eggs that are popping up across town. The snack’s big right now. Really, what’s not to love? It’s an egg covered with sausage and deep fried. There’s a Vietnamese-influenced take on the recipe at Ding Dong, a giant “Dinosaur” egg with sweet potato mash at okb, a yuzu wasabi hollandaise soused one at A for Arbite, and some more traditional specimens at The Ascot, The Trenchard Arms and The Big Sheila.
