@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”.

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?" 😉

@fesshole I would not be surprised is this is actually quite good

@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus @bjn My wife is Italian. For some reason, I suspect she is going to love the idea.

@hosford42 @cstross @fesshole @bjn I mean, it gets crunchy.

@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
@delila @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus My toes are curling. That’s even worse.

@Illuminatus @HighlandLawyer @cstross Deep frying is a thing in italian cooking, arancini is more or less deep fried left over risotto, but some things should be scared!

Not sure if you meant scared or sacred, but both work. -

@cstross @fesshole @bjn @Illuminatus I'm all in for crunch. (If only I could have carbs...) But I think it's the fat she'll appreciate. lol I'm almost vegetarian in my food preferences, while she's all about meat, cheese, and fried things.

Batter dipped, deep fried cake sounds like something one might find at a rural county fair in the U.S.. Served on a stick and covered in chocolate syrup.
It also sound delicious.

@fesshole I'd never heard of 'cake batter' as a term until I read this post.

@fesshole this is an excellent idea ❣️😻🙀
Why haven’t I thought of this before?!😹🩷 -

@bjn @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus straight from the freezer and into the hot oil - served with a portion of chips - but with the batter i imagine it being very stodgy

@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.
@Illuminatus @jshawthorne @cstross @fesshole @blogdiva
I saw a post once years ago saying "ACAB is Assigned Cop At Birth" and I don't know why this comment is the one that made me laugh at it again

@fesshole Wait, someone physically assaulted a cake?

@fesshole I guess that would be “battery.”
So then wait, are you saying your cake isn’t fully charged? 🪫 -

@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus

@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus @jshawthorne a Scottish chip shop will fry anything and do fry everything, including steak pies.

@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 è spudoratamente chiaro. A breve Cerno condurrà una striscia prima del TG2. Oggi i fascisti celebrano con scarso pudore le Foibe... Non so, sarò io... Ma pur senza febbre un brivido mi assale... Un percorso senza ritorno...
