In modern usage, this question also serves as a metaphor for
wasting time debating topics of no practical value. An example of such time
wasting was the debate in one of Carbo’s blog regarding the carbohydrate
content of Scotch Eggs. The renowned empiricist Eddie Mitchel cut short the debate
by the simple expedient of purchasing two eggs and presenting the results.

How many carbohydrates can dance on the head of a Scotch egg?
The question, "How many carbohydrates can dance on the
head of a Scotch egg?" has been used many times as a dismissal of medieval
dietary myths in particular and of nutritionalism in general. The phrase has
been used also to criticise figures such as Carbo, Phoenix and WhitbyAraucaria
for espousing such medieval dietary myths.
