Fans of the UK comedy The Office - I have a big Keith question

[StaggerLee]

There are a couple of scenes in the first and the second series where Tim and Keith are sitting in the break room talking.

During both sequences when the scene is about to end Keith bites into something round and spongy. Does anyone know what the heck it is he's biting into?

:shrug:

1. Afternoon Kick

Maybe some afternoon loungers can answer this one for me. It's buggin' me to pieces.

2. A Scotch Egg. Never seen one or know what they taste like, but

in a Special about the Office they talk about it.

3. Is that what it is?

I thought it might have been a muffin or perhaps a tangerine?

FYI -- my dad peels oranges/tangerines by biting the skin first then peeling it. I just thought that's what Keith was doing!

Sheesh, you learn somethin' new every day! :hi:

4. I guess you could probably look up what a Scotch Egg is.

Maybe order some or make some!
Then you could sit around and eat them.
But only if they're good.
Somehow the words Scotch and Egg together make me a little queazy.

I vaguely remember Scotch eggs from my childhood growing up in England some *cough* 30 *cough* years *cough* ago... :)
