@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).

@cstross my local chippie (Scottish, but not in Scotland) does deep-fried jam sandwich. It is surprisingly tasty.
@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.

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

@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.
@jshawthorne @Illuminatus @ProphetsCross @cstross Texas is saying, “Hold my beer” right now

@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”.
@cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus @bjn
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.

For example, take Locker 12.
It is visited by students 1 & 12, 2 & 6, and 3 & 4. Since everyone has a partner to "undo" their work, the door ends up closed.
The exceptions are Perfect Squares (like 9, 16, 36).
Take Locker 9: It is visited by 1 & 9 (who cancel each other out) and Student 3. Since 3 times 3 = 9, Student 3 has no partner to close the door back. That "odd man out" leaves the locker open.
-
The answer:
Lockers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, and 100.
Why?
A locker is visited by every student whose number divides into it. Usually, these students come in pairs, so one opens the door and their partner closes it back.

Monica Castro e il discorso della vergogna contro i palestinesi storpi e senza casa
> La consigliera di Fdi, in una seduta di fine gennaio, ha deplorato la proposta di gemellaggio fra Calenzano e Jenin, una città palestinese, trovando irragionevole intrattenere rapporti con persone “ridotte male”, “storpie” e “senza casa”.
