Friends Set Guinness World Record With 17-Pound Scotch Egg

Now formally ratified by Guinness, their 17-pound egg has been immortalized ahead of the 2026 record book.

Overview

  • They surpassed a 20-year-old 13 lb 10 oz mark with their 17 lb 3 oz creation.
  • The duo shipped £25 ostrich eggs from Scotland and wrapped them in 22 lb of sausage meat and panko breadcrumbs.
  • They fried the colossal egg for 30 minutes in sunflower oil before baking it for two hours to ensure stability.
  • To meet Guinness criteria, they sliced through the egg with a sword and preserved the yolk intact upon cutting.
  • They avoided waste by converting the excess into 19 frozen burritos and now await inclusion in the 2026 Guinness World Records book.
