The options for Suffolk foodies have recently been further expanded by the arrival in Long Melford of a new delicatessen, Deli-licious.
The existence of the new shop was brought to my attention when I was lucky enough to be given a selection of their goods. They have indeed so far proved to be delicious.
Just opposite Mr Ruse, the Butcher, and next door to the Crown Inn, the emporium. which has been open for about three weeks, has all sorts of interesting foods on offer, both for the store cupboard and for immediate consumption.
When I went in to take a closer look yesterday morning I was particularly impressed by the wide choice of well-kept cheeses on offer, and astonished by the collection of scotch eggs (one of my favourite things even in their more common bright orange, rubbery egg guise). Deli-licious stocks about 7 or 8 different varieties, including one called the ‘Old Stager’ which comprises a pickled egg wrapped with pork and rolled in sea salt and black pepper crisps.
The deli’s proprietor told me that she has difficulty selecting which scotch eggs to stock from the list of almost forty available from the supplier, The Handmade Scotch Egg Company of Bishops Frome in Herefordshire. If the selection in Long Melford is not broad enough for you take a look at the company’s website here. .
Anyone for the 'Aztec', an egg encased in free range pork, chilli and chocolate, or the ‘Black Watch’ described as 'the infamous black pudding scotch egg’?
