Two men from London create world's largest Scotch egg
The egg contains a gut-busting 24,000 calories. (Image: Kennedy News/elburritomonster) They had to ship £25 ostrich eggs from Scotland as they were the only type big enough to construct the mammoth 10-inch x 10-inch speciality. This was encased in an eye-popping 22lbs of sausage meat that was coated in panko breadcrumbs and carefully fried for 30 minutes before baking in the oven for two hours. To complete the record, the pair had to successfully cut it open with the yolk intact and use a sword due to its mammoth size. Oliver, 28, and his pal 'didn't fancy' eating the 24,000-calorie egg in one sitting, but as one of the rules is that no food must go to waste, they decided to make 19 burritos from it that they've frozen. Now Oliver hopes to appear in the 2026 book of Guinness World Records and has 'got his sight set on many records' in the future. Oliver, from Enfield, North London, said: "We're so proud. It's always been a lifelong dream of mine to get a Guinness World Record. I was overjoyed. #giantfood #britishfood #guinnessworldrecords #scran ♬ A Summer Place - Hollywood Strings Orchestra @elburritomonster The boys have only gone and made the Worlds Largest Scotch Egg and secured a @Guinness World Records 🥇🎉😁 1 ostrich egg and a whole load of sausage meat and breadcrumbs, deep fried for half an hour and baked for 3 to get this 7.81kg, 80cm circumference behemoth! Clocking in at 24,000 calories, 1500g protein, and a whole lotta scranning 😋 May have taken a couple attempts and some lessons were learnt, but we got there in the end 😂 Hoping to add a few more records to the collection - what should we go after next? #scotchegg "We began the researching process to figure out which word record we thought we could beat that we could do at home with just the two of us without an army of people to help us. "We stumbled across a scotch egg. I have already made large scotch eggs before. I made four or five kilograms about six months ago so I thought I was already not far off the record with that. "It took us two attempts to pull it off. This time of year it's super hot. When we're trying to cook outside it gets pretty warm pretty quickly so it starts to deform. "As we were lowering it into the fryer it was getting warmer and warmer and it wasn't holding its shape around the egg at all. "It completely fell apart and the bottom ripped and the egg fell out and chaos ensued. We learned valuable lessons that day." However, the pair tried again a week later and this time decided to prepare the sausage meat the night before and made a back-up egg too and their efforts paid off. Oliver said: "It is actually heavier than a bowling ball. It came to 7.81 kilograms but it was 8.5 kilograms before it went in [the oven] so it lost about 700grams in the oven. "Probably the fat that leaked out. "But luckily we got it over enough that even while we lost some of the weight in the oven we were still comfortable over the previous record. "As soon as we took it out on the chopping board afterwards we knew it had come to temperature and held together we were pretty confident we had pulled it off. "The last thing to do as per the requirements of the rule is you have to cut it open and the egg on the inside has to be not completely falling apart. "It's got to be solid and look like a scotch egg. If it's crushed by the weight of the sausage you risk losing the record. Luckily the way we did it we pulled it off. "We got perfectly even sausage meat on the outside and a nice little cross section with the egg." Recommended Reading The content creator decided to use the giant snack to make 19 burritos so no food went to waste and hopes to set more records in the future. Oliver said: "The rule is that none of the food can go to waste and we try to avoid food waste wherever we can. "It doesn't all have to be finished on the day. "I didn't fancy eating the whole scotch egg in one sitting. My arteries couldn't handle eating it all on the day. We made sure it was freezeable as well. "We decided to fill up 19 burritos with scotch egg, beans, salsa and cheese. They were tasty and they were split between mine and Phoenix's freezer. "Now I've got Guinness on speed dial, I've got my sights set on many records. The next one I'm going for is marathon-related though."

Freddie Prinze Jr. says his kids weren't afraid of 1st 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' film
Freddie Prinze Jr. says his kids weren't phased by the first "I Know What You Did Last Summer" film. At the world premiere for the new "I Know What You Did Last Summer" film in Los Angeles on Monday, Prinze said his kids Charlotte and Rocky, whom he shares with wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, "didn't scream once" when they saw the original 1997 film directed by Jim Gillespie. "They were laughing because guys like James Wan made 'Saw,' which sort of changed the genre," he said, adding that he hopes this new film continues to "push the [horror] genre forward and challenge that next generation of filmmakers to do the same thing." "Horror evolves so quickly," Prinze continued. "These writers and directors are constantly trying to outdo one another ... what was scary five, 10 years ago isn't scary now." The actor, who starred in the original "I Know What You Did Last Summer" alongside Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Ryan Phillippe, stars in the new sequel directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, reprising his role as Ray Bronson. Hewitt also returns to the new film, reprising her role as Julie James. Joining Prinze and Hewitt are Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon. Prinze lauded the new group and said "they earned the baton." "I didn't have to pass anything," he said. "They're so much better than I was at their age. It's not even funny. I love this cast so much, I respect their work so much, and it was a pleasure to get to work with them." The new film centers around five friends who cover up a deadly car accident that they inadvertently caused and make a pact to "keep it a secret rather than face the consequences," according to a synopsis. Like the first film, Robinson's film jumps to a year later, when the group is "forced to confront" what they did last summer, after a killer who knows the truth comes after them. The synopsis adds that the group turns to "two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help." Pidgeon, who plays Stevie Ward, described the film as "even splashier in terms of blood and gore" than previous films. "I think there's a lot of beautiful parts in the characters that touch on and give reverence and [are] referential to the original," she continued. "But it's also really standalone." "I think this can hold its own in a good way," she added. Screenwriter Sam Lansky said it was important to bring "everything that we loved about the original to carry into the world of 2025." "We just really, really wanted to take on what felt special about that first movie and give everyone who wants to go to the movies now the same jolt of adrenaline, the rush, the good time that we had seeing these movies as young people ourselves," he added. As a nod to the first film, Robinson said that fans can spot several Easter Eggs throughout the new movie. One Easter Egg in particular, Robinson said, pays special nautical tribute to the first film. "One of my favorites is Ray Bronson's boat in the first movie is 'Billy Blue,' and I recreated that sign and put it in his bar," she said. "So, there's a lot of stuff for the OG fans." Lansky added, "There are so many little things that you will find that I think you will be absolutely delighted by. And for people who are coming into it cold and experiencing this for the first time, I think they're also going to have a blast."

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 7, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 7, 2025, 14:03 IST Westeros is calling us back! A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , the next chapter in the Game of Thrones saga, is gearing up to bring George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg to life. This prequel series, based on the beloved novellas, promises a new vibe—less dragon-fueled chaos, more heartfelt adventure. If you're as excited as I am, let's dive into the latest on when it's hitting screens, who's starring, and what we can expect from this journey through a quieter corner of the Seven Kingdoms. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Release Date So, when do we get to see A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms ? The rumor mill has been churning, and here's the latest. Early buzz pointed to a possible late 2025 debut, maybe even summer. But HBO's dropped some fresh hints that have shifted the timeline. At Warner Bros. Discovery's upfronts in May 2025, a teaser ended with a title card flashing 2026. Casey Bloys, HBO's big boss, doubled down, suggesting a premiere in early 2026—think January or February. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Cast Updates The heart of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is the unlikely duo of Ser Duncan the Tall, a big-hearted hedge knight, and his squire Egg, who's secretly Prince Aegon V Targaryen. The cast is a mix of fresh talent and familiar faces, and I'm stoked about who they've picked to bring these characters to life. Here's the rundown: Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) Dexter Sol Ansell as Egg (Prince Aegon V Targaryen) Finn Bennett as Prince Aerion 'Brightflame' Targaryen Bertie Carvel as Prince Baelor 'Breakspear' Targaryen Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Baratheon Sam Spruell as Prince Maekar Targaryen More Faces: HBO dropped more names in August 2024, including Edward Ashley (Ser Steffon Fossoway), Henry Ashton (Daaeron Targaryen), Youssef Kerkour (Steely Pate), Daniel Monks (Ser Manfred Dondarrion), Shaun Thomas (Raymun Fossoway), Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Plummer), and Danny Webb (Ser Arlan of Pennytree, Dunk's mentor). Martin's been raving about this cast, and honestly, I can't wait to see them in action. With filming done, we might hear about a few more additions soon. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Plot Details Set about 90 years before Game of Thrones and 72 years after House of the Dragon , A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes us to a Westeros still ruled by the Targaryens, where the memory of dragons lingers but the skies are clear. The first season adapts The Hedge Knight , the first of Martin's three Dunk and Egg novellas. It's all about Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg wandering the realm, getting tangled in knightly tournaments, political schemes, and tests of honor. This isn't the sprawling epic of Game of Thrones or the fiery family feuds of House of the Dragon . Martin calls it a 'character piece,' zooming in on Dunk's earnest quest to be a true knight and Egg's journey as a hidden prince learning about the world. A big highlight? The tournament at Ashford Meadow, where Dunk's courage and Egg's secret identity spark some serious drama. Think less 'dragon battles' and more 'heartfelt bromance with swords.' HBO's official pitch sums it up: 'A century before Game of Thrones , two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits await these improbable and incomparable friends.' With six episodes in Season 1, directed by Owen Harris ( Black Mirror ) and Sarah Adina Smith ( Lessons in Chemistry ), and written by Martin and Ira Parker, the show's got a tight, focused feel. HBO's planning for three seasons, each tackling one novella ( The Hedge Knight , The Sworn Sword , The Mystery Knight ), and Martin's hinted at writing more stories, so we could see Dunk and Egg's adventures continue.
