I tried supermarket scotch eggs – the 54p winner beats M&S and is perfect for summer snacking
Plus how to cut the cost of groceries EGG-CELLENT I tried supermarket scotch eggs – the 54p winner beats M&S and is perfect for summer snacking A SCOTCH egg is the perfect addition to any summer picnic - or an ideal savoury snack at home when hunger strikes. Despite the name, they're not Scottish. 7 Natasha Harding has tested scotch eggs ahead of picnic season Credit: Neil Hope Fortnum and Mason, the posh department store in London, claims to have created them in 1738 as a meal for travellers heading west from Piccadilly. You can still buy a box of four from the fancy shop for £19.95. These days, all of the supermarkets do their own versions, but which one is the tastiest and best value for money? Natasha Harding tried six and rated them out of 30. Tesco 2 scotch eggs, £1.09 54.5p per egg Per egg: calories, 280 fat, 17.8g sugar, 1.0g salt .72g 7 Tesco's scotch eggs were crowned the winner in our test Credit: Tesco A great price by Tesco for a nicely sized egg that was full of flavour - I liked the blend of onion and pepper in these. They were as delicious when eaten cold or warmed making them good to take out, or have at home. The reusable packaging is useful too and means that they stay fresh in the fridge. Taste: 9/10 Value: 10/10 Overall rating: 9/10 Out of 30: 28 Sainsbury's 2 scotch eggs, £1.25 62.5p per egg Per egg: calories, 281 fat, 18.2g sugar, 0.9g salt .77g 7 Sainsbury's eggs were in the mid-priced range but tasted more expensive Credit: Sainsbury's A super tasty egg from Sainsbury's that was nicely seasoned without being overpowering. They were in the mid-priced range, but tasted more expensive - and looked very appealing. The egg was particularly good and had a perfectly yellow yolk - and was well-covered with sausage meat and breadcrumbs. I'd buy these again for sure. Taste: 8/10 Value: 8/10 Overall rating: 8/10 Out of 30: 24 M&S 2 scotch eggs, £1.45 72.5p per egg Per egg: calories, 247 fat, 15.2g sugar, 0.3g salt .75g 7 M&S' eggs were particularly delicious when warmed and eaten with a light salad Credit: M&S Full of flavour and I particularly loved the coating which was super crunchy and plentiful. The egg was on the smaller size which wasn't an issue as I enjoyed the 'scotch' part of the egg so much. This one was particularly delicious when warmed and eaten with a salad as a light lunch. However, you're paying a premium price. Taste: 9/10 Value: 6/10 Overall rating: 7/10 Out of 30: 22 Waitrose 2 scotch eggs, £1.50 75p per egg Per egg: calories, 294 fat, 18.9g sugar, 0.6g salt .69g 7 Waitrose was the most expensive in our test Credit: Waitrose The most expensive egg that I tried was also the biggest of the bunch. The sausage meat was deliciously spiced, with ingredients including pepper, sage, nutmeg and paprika. The egg was a good size too, but there were other options that were just as tasty without the hefty price tag. I wouldn't choose this one over some of the others due to the cost difference. Taste: 8/10 Value: 6/10 Overall rating: 7/10 Out of 30: 21 Aldi 2 scotch eggs, £1.09 54.5 per egg Per 100g: calories, 260 fat, 8g sugar, 4.6g salt .75g 7 Overall Aldi's scotch eggs were a bit bland Credit: Aldi A bit smaller than the others and also paler in colour. Overall it was a bit bland - the sausage meat wasn't as flavoursome and it didn't have the oomph that some of the other eggs had. However, these might be a good option for children or those who don't like a strong taste. They warmed through nicely and for the price are a good picnic staple. Taste: 6/10 Value: 6/10 Overall rating: 6/10 Out of 30: 18 Asda 2 scotch eggs, £1.60 80p per egg Per 100g: calories, 260 fat, 8g sugar, 4.6g salt .75g 7 Natasha wasn't impressed by Asda's scotch eggs Credit: Asda Hmm, not impressed with these at all. The coating fell apart when I tried to cut into them and there wasn't much sausage meat inside - and what there was, was dry. There was a strong taste of pepper which was a little overpowering. The egg was a bit small too - and the whole thing was a bit of a disappointment - especially as they were the most expensive of the eggs I tried. Not my favourite. Taste: 3/10 Value: 3/10 Overall rating: 3/10 Out of 30: 9

Eva Longoria shows off jaw-dropping figure in string bikini as she ditches America
Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria looked incredible as she hit the beach in Marbella in a black string bikini after deciding to leave America for a new life in Spain Eva Longoria looked sensational as she headed to the beach in a black string bikini after ditching the U.S. The Desperate Housewives star, 50, has been soaking up the sights of Spain after wanting to explore her ancestral roots. She stepped out on the beach in Marbella, where she appeared relaxed and carefree in the sunshine. Eva showcased her stunning figure as she took a dip in the sea to cool off. The actress, who also speaks Spanis,h was joined by her family for the outing as Eva wore her string bikini with a delicate gold necklace as well as a black mini skirt. It comes after photos show Holly Willoughby letting her hair down in white swimsuit on sun soaked holiday. Earlier this year, Eva headed to Spain for her new TV project, Searching for Spain. The show followed the mum-of-one as she examined Spain's culinary traditions and incredible food, all while reconnecting with her family history. Eva revealed: 'Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors left Spain for the new world and new life. Four hundred years later, I'm back to see how the land and its people have created one of the world's most exciting cuisines.' She added: 'If you can preserve your food and your recipes, you can teach the rest of the world who you are. I get to visit long-lost family.' Eva was born in Texas and spent much of her adult life in California, but holds a Spanish citizenship. She recently relocated to Spain with her Mexican husband, producer José Bastón, and their son, Santiago. The actress previously confessed she no longer wanted to live in Los Angeles, describing her move as the end of a chapter in her life. She denied speculation that her decision to leave the US was politically motivated following Trump's re-election as president. Eva said that she moved over three years ago for work-related reasons and now primarily divides her time between Spain and Mexico. Speaking on the Behind the Table podcast, she said: "Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of Trump? "I've been in Europe for almost three years. That's why I'm in Europe. I didn't leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there." She insisted: "I'm a proud American. I've always been a proud American. Proud Texan, proud American. I didn't want it to be taken that I left because of Trump — absolutely not — or because of the elections." Despite moving away from the States, Eva has revealed she hasn't turned her back on Desperate Housewives. There's long been speculation over a potential reboot of the acclaimed ABC show, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Eva admitted the show's future boils down to creator Marc Cherry. Host Andy Cohen asked: "Really? Why he feels like it's complete?" Eva said: "He feels like we've exhausted the characters."
