@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus @jshawthorne a Scottish chip shop will fry anything and do fry everything, including steak pies.
@ianturton @fesshole @Illuminatus @jshawthorne Deep fried steak pie is a personal favourite of mine!

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.
@fesshole When I was growing up, "cake mix" is what you added things to (water, maybe eggs, etc.) in order to make "cake batter" which was then poured into the "cake pan" to make "cake".

I have to break it to you that it was Italians who introduced the deep fried pizza to Scotland.Post WW2 a vast number of "cafes" (actually chippies) in Scotland were opened by Italians; these added deep fried pizza to the traditional fish, chicken, sausage, puddings, haggis, etc. Until the 90s the pizzas weren't usually battered, making the bread itself crispy.
The main question to immigrants to Scotland is "what in your cuisine can be deep fried?" ๐
@HighlandLawyer @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus @bjn three pals of mine married into established Italian families in Edinburgh during the 90s. Two of the couples got set up with new cafรฉs/chippies as their wedding presents - apparently it is (or was) the done thing and all the extended relatives chip in to fund it. One of them told me that basically every single Edinburgh chippie belonged to one extended Italian family or another.

@jbenjamint @HighlandLawyer @fesshole @Illuminatus @bjn Yup, and they had some kind of ongoing name war happening: there was this one chippie out west called "The Codfather" โฆ

@nxskok @cstross @_thegeoff @fesshole @Illuminatus my mum made these for us when we were kids (late 70s early 80s) we called them โjam butty frittersโ
@finitebaffle @nxskok @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus I was introduced to the Bread Pakora by @Theorem_Poem. Bog standard bread (UK white, naan, whatever), good sprinkling of garam masala, gram flour batter, deep fry. Really good.

@_thegeoff advanced version : sandwich paneer + chutney of choice between two slices of bread. Smush down to seal. Dip in besan batter. Deep fry. ๐

@Theorem_Poem @finitebaffle @nxskok @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus I'm guessing the chutney turns into something that puts you in hospital if you're too keen? That's very Scottish.

@_thegeoff oh it can be the sweet tamarind chutney if you don't want a one-two punch in the face. The spice ghouls go for chili garlic. I go somewhere mid- spicy : green chutney made with mint and coriander.

@delila @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus My toes are curling. Thatโs even worse.
@bjn @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus funny thing is the chippie was run by an Italian family. Wonder if they had any qualms about it ๐
Weekday lunchtimes it was ยฃ1 for a half pizza and chips. Thats a lot of calories for the money! -

@_thegeoff ah no, slice in half and let steam escape before the face - stuffing ๐๐๐

@_thegeoff @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus maybe substitute a snickers. Peanuts make it healthy.
@Colman @_thegeoff @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus No, Peanuts makes it Schultz!๐

And now they also offer the "half pizza crunch" supper for 30p more which I've heard is a term used for a battered one.

I once was taking instructions from an elderly Italio-scot lady, whose children ran the local chippie, when I discovered she used to run the chippie at almost the other end of the country that my father habitually frequented when she ran it. -

@stevendb the whole idea of Section 31 is just shitty. It's like, "well, sure it's a future utopia, but as we all know the way to maintain utopia for some is crooked cops, mass slaughter, and torture."

L'arrembaggio continua... Stasera Nordio a fare campagna per il SI al Cavallo e la Torre. Marco Damilano regge botta ma l'intento รจ spudoratamente chiaro. A breve Cerno condurrร una striscia prima del TG2. Oggi i fascisti celebrano con scarso pudore le Foibe... Non so, sarรฒ io... Ma pur senza febbre un brivido mi assale... Un percorso senza ritorno...
