Default Scotch eggs

Got a craving for Scotch eggs. I have everything I need for the eggs;
parsley, sausage, panko, breakfast sausage etc. What I need are some
serving ideas. I want a sauce. I used to just smear mustard on them.
Which is god. But I ant something more rich and flavorful. Hollandaise?

Ideas?

I wouldn't think it would be too eggy, but you could do a beurre blanc.

I don't think a hollandaise would be too eggy and so what? There's an
egg inside the scotch egg, so it would compliment not detract.

In any case, I think the replies are too refined. My choice would be
to serve a red sauce of some sort with it... I would pick something
spicy like an arrabbiata or diablo sauce, but it could be as simple as
crushed canned tomatoes spiced up with cayenne.

Is there some eason why I shouldn't? I like it with white pepper. It's
milk, flour, butter and pepper. It's been known to go well with biscuits.

My wife would probably make a cheese sauce. I'd use ketchup.

I didn't know there was a special Japanese mustard powder until I read
that recipe!

I think Japanese mustard powder is the same as Chinese mustard powder which is the same as Colman's mustard powder. I just buy the cheapest stuff I can find. OTOH, I don't know of any Japanese dish that uses mustard.

I figured it must be the same as Chinese, but for some reason Chinese
always seems hotter than Coleman's to me. I'd just substitute
Coleman's anyway. If it turns out I want to make it again and think
it would benefit from more heat, then I'd buy some Japanese or Chinese
mustard powder.

How do you make your mustard from powder? Mix with water and wait half
an hour seems to get the hottest. Made with vinegar is not as hot and
made with milk is mildest, IMHO.

Chinese style mustard is important over here. We need the stuff to eat with wonton min. Mostly, I've made it from Colman's. My dad told me to flip the bowl over after mixing it with water and let it sit for 20 minutes or so. It should get fairly hot.

With that S&B oriental mustard you're mostly paying for the fancy
schmancy tin... Penzys sells the exact same mustard for $5.60 a pound,
and Penzys is more freshly ground so more potent. That S&B company
seems a bit smarmy, they pretend to be Japanese yet they operate out
of Gardenia CA and import and warehouse a few products in China.

Canada is the world's largest mustard producer:

A nice, sharp chutney would be good with a Scotch egg. I'd like some
acid and spice to cut the richness.

I Googled and saved a tasty sounding recipe from the old Gourmet
magazine. If you want to make your own mayonnaise from scratch,
nobody will stop you, but this one begins with commercial.
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/fo...yonnaise-11900

Curry Mayonnaise

1 cup bottled mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
paprika for garnish

In a bowl stir together the mayonnaise, the curry powder, the lime
juice, and the cayenne. Chill the mayonnaise, covered, for 1 hour and
garnish it with the paprika. Serve with chicken or vegetables.
