We never used the term "cake batter" when I was a kid, we said "cake mix."

@fesshole in fairness, deep fried cake sounds delicious
@frang @fesshole It's the sort of idea that could make you millions.
This means it's probably a complete disaster or you'd see it in stands at fairs.
Maybe the cake soaks up the oil really fast due to wicking and you get a soggy blob of flour-oil inside a fried flour shell.
Fried butter took off though... I'm wondering what one of those elephant ear stands costs... Fuck software development.

@fesshole @Illuminatus TOTALLY reasonable if by "cake" you mean haggis, or maybe pizza squares.
@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus I always thought that the deep frying everything thing was a slander of the Scots by the English. I was set to rights when I ordered a mini pizza when waiting for the ferry to Skye (so quite a while ago). While I was wondering where the pizza oven was they took a mini pizza out of the freezer, dipped it in batter and deep fried it. The Italian in me was were horrified and the best word for my experience was “interesting”.

We never used the term "cake batter" when I was a kid, we said "cake mix." When I first heard cake batter, in my early 20s, I assumed someone took a slice of cake, dipped it in batter and deep fried it. As I'm Scottish I don't think this is completely unreasonable.
🤣
where i live (US South), the cake mix is the dry stuff, once it is wet, it is cake batter...

@fesshole it is still cake mix. It’s not batter.
Batter is for dipping fish into before you fry them.You couldn’t use cake mix for that.

@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus Or are from the American South, because pretty much everything gets batter dipped and deep fried at fairs down there and this wouldn't be the most ridiculous thing by far.

@jshawthorne @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus they can deep fry *anything*.
@Colman @jshawthorne @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus you wouldn't batter a car...

@bjn @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus deep fried pizza is one of the few things i miss as a vegan now - however i find it wrong to batter it, the first time i seen that i was shocked, i grew up on non battered deep fried pizza

@ProphetsCross @jshawthorne @cstross God, I love Scotland. I would die of Cardiovascular disease before my fifties, but I love it.
@Illuminatus @ProphetsCross @cstross Silly Wizard had a whole spiel about this in like the 80s about how Scotland was the last place on earth where fried food and smoking were good for you.

@Colman @jshawthorne @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus you wouldn't deep fry a dvd...

@delila @Colman @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus What I'm gathering from this conversation is that the Scottish would, indeed, batter and deep fry a car.

@fesshole @Illuminatus @cstross Battered Tablet

@patterfloof high quality healthy food.

@_thegeoff @fesshole @Illuminatus Chippie up the road from me does the notorious Deep Fried Battered Mars Bar (with salt'n'sauce). I have never dared.
@cstross my local chippie (Scottish, but not in Scotland) does deep-fried jam sandwich. It is surprisingly tasty.

@fesshole if I had socialized medicine I would try this

@kitten_tech @fesshole "cake batter" implies the existence of "cake bowler" and "cake fielders"
@dan @kitten_tech @fesshole I am now expecting someone to set up an array of cake-mix boxes in the matter of a game of cricket (complete with cake umpires).

@nxskok @cstross @_thegeoff @fesshole @Illuminatus my mum made these for us when we were kids (late 70s early 80s) we called them “jam butty fritters”

@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus Thing is, the major health hazard there is the Mars Bar, the deep-frying only adds a little fat and complex carb to the outrageous amount of sugar. If you've not got any blood-sugar issues try one, just the once, worth it.
@_thegeoff @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus maybe substitute a snickers. Peanuts make it healthy.

@jshawthorne @cstross @fesshole You can. The best part of it is that I am Spanish and the first time I found haggis deep fried it was automatically compared to deep fried morcilla de Burgos.
Ed.: morcilla is equivalent to black sausage; the morcilla de Burgos is a variety with cooked rice in the mix.
@Illuminatus @jshawthorne @cstross @fesshole oooooh i thought that was a portorro thing, la morcilla de arroz. my ACAB grandfather was 2nd generation español, so my grandma cooked a lot of stuff that was more Ethpanya than el Caribe.

@cstross @_thegeoff @fesshole @Illuminatus the thought of it is just 🤢

La grazia è il coraggio del dubbio e vale per tutti noi, dice Sorrentino. Ma in un mondo in cui il cinismo è la moneta corrente, le certezze sono urlate e le verità sono in-discutibili, il beneficio del dubbio non è previsto. Uno splendido film sull'utopia?

@stevendb but, I can say I'm liking it a lot more than Section 31, which was an insult to Roddenberry and every Trek fan. At least Starfleet Academy is made by people who genuinely like Star Trek.
