Minister performs U-turn on whether delicacy constitutes a main meal or just a starter
A scotch egg is definitely a substantial meal, Michael Gove has said, as he performed a screeching U-turn on his earlier controversial position that it constituted merely a starter.
Asked about the status of the delicacy a day after his cabinet colleague George Eustice told LBC on Tuesday that a scotch egg “would count as a substantial meal if there were table service” and could therefore be served with alcohol by pubs in tier 2 areas after lockdown ends, the Cabinet Office minister told the radio station: “A couple of scotch eggs is a starter, as far as I’m concerned.”
