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 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?!😹🩷 -
@delila @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus My toes are curling. That’s even worse.
@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.

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
Wait hang on, you can deep fry haggis?
@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!

@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?" 😉
@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 cafés/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" …

@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”
@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. 😁

@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.

@bjn @cstross @fesshole @Illuminatus funny thing is the chippie was run by an Italian family. Wonder if they had any qualms about it 😅
Weekday lunchtimes it was £1 for a half pizza and chips. Thats a lot of calories for the money!

This image is funny, but also poignant
It is proof the #EU is a success
Here in the #USA we rot and it's depressing. But I take heart that if #Europe can get over centuries of tribalism and stupid wars, we can get over our bullshit too... someday
PS: Fischnaller got bronze in #luge
(Yeah: from #SouthTyrol. That doesn't negate my point. In the past, this would make people angry. But no longer is #ethnicity used as a lie for war. *cough*#Russia*cough*)
