Things you always wanted to know the answer to.

The egg doesn't shrink as its already cooked.

The sausagemeat, bound by the egg/breadcrumb outer shrinks as it cooks away from the egg.

Again, guessing.

Then the sausagemeat would be tight against the egg?

I'm only guessing too, you probably are right.. I've just wondered how they made a hollow ball of sausagemeat and the egg be loose inside of it you see.

Same as the liquid chocolate inside hard chocolate.. How do they make the hollow ball of chocolate to inject the liquid chocolate into it?

You roll the egg in flour before wrapping it in sausage meat, that way the meat doesn't stick. Any trapped air expands when cooking, allowing the egg to rattle about a bit inside.

Why does Easter get moved around all over the place on the calendar? If that bearded bloke did manage to come back from the dead, you'd think the god-botherers would know which day it was. They're dead certain when he was born even though no-one knew who he was, but having gone around and done loads of miracles, they then have to take a random stab each year at easter.

Ok then...how do they make those pork pies with boiled egg all down the middle?
You never get a slick with no egg or an egg end with no yolk.
You always get the middle of the egg with a full yolk.

Cut the ends off each egg then line them all up.

Because Easter is linked to the Jewish Lunar calendar, oh yeah and it's a made up event

Chickens that lay really long eggs.

Imagine loads of seperated eggs, yolks and whites, the yolks are put into sausage shaped mould and hardboiled.

Then that sausage is placed inside a load of whites and cooked again

Creating a sausage shape that can be placed in a pie.

Or sliced for use in sandwiches, rather than boiling eggs yourself.

Love comes from l'ouef meaning egg as the zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg.

In genealogy names such as Love, Luff etc. are all interchangeable. Many surnames changed around depending on how literate the person filling the Bishops records in was

Yep, I'll go with that. Thanks!

Now, the chocolate one please?

The same way they make easter eggs? - But thicker and smaller I guess.

I would assume it would be through rotational moulding - This is also how they make hollow plastic balls etc

Is it rotational molding, or is it a two part mould which is then filled?

If you're referring to chocolates such as Lindors, then they make two halves in a mould. Once cooled, they pipe softer praline into one half then put the other half over the top.

And maltesers? How are they made?

Fair enough, it could be either

The honeycomb thing just passed through a flow of melted choc?
