Woman buys scotch egg from Tesco and is given this instead

How is this even fair? A woman, Mandy McKinley, from Glan Conwy, North Wales, bought scotch egg from Tesco. After taking a bite, she realised there was no egg, not even a little in the snack. She took to the supermarket’s Facebook page to complain and got this hilarious reply from them. She wrote:

“I’m now sat here eating a.. I’m unsure what to call it… A ‘scotch’ ?? I’ve had to phone my husband and let him know how upset I am but he doesn’t understand and just hung up on me..

“I then messaged my friends and they just laughed at me.. and to be honest the actually ‘scotch (no) egg’ looks like it’s laughing at me also…[sic].”



Some guy from Tesco who identified himself as Stephen replied her saying:

“O egg, egg, wherefore art thou egg? Deny thy breadcrumbs and refuse thy sausage meat; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I’ll no longer be a scotch egg eater.

“Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this? ‘Tis but thy snack that is my enemy: thou art thyself, though not a scotch egg eater no more.

“I’m terribly sorry about the missing egg, what a crime against nature! I don’t think that it’s laughing at you, I think it’s screaming “WHERES MY EGG!!!””

He signed off the response: “By the typing of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes! Stephen – Customer Care.”
