Is a Scotch egg a substantial meal?
According to a cabinet minister a Scotch egg certainly is. Environment Secretary George Eustice told LBC Radio that Scotch eggs would constitute such a meal "if there were table service". And then there’s sandwiches. Here there’s a legal precedent.“According to the Law Society, judges in the 1965 case of Timmis v Millman found that when two men were drinking in a hotel bar outside of legal hours (but within the supper time extension) their sandwiches ‘were so substantial, and assisted by the pickles and beetroot so as to justify that it was a table meal and not a mere snack from the bar’.And in the 1955 case of Solomon v Green sandwiches alongside sausages on sticks were also found to constitute a meal.”Wonder what else might qualify.
