Many years ago, when I was in Edinburgh, I asked the chef at a pub on Castlehill ( the Ensign Ewert I think) if he would make me a haggis pizza. He said yes and I had the best pizza ever.
I'm not really a fan of chocolate and a Mars bar is possibly my least favourite chocolate bar, but deep fried Mars bars are amazing. Weirdly, despite not liking normal Mars bars, I can't think of any other chocolate bar that I would prefer deep fried.
@ Paul Quinn - I had one from the chippie in Lockerbie, accompanied by two deep-fried haggis' and a deep-fried, batter-coated pizza... That was some good eating, but the next day, I had a massive coronary...
@@petertaylor4980 My deep fried Mars bar phase was over 15 years ago in Edinburgh. There was plenty of alcohol involved, so it may be that I've misremembered how widespread they were after all these years. I just remember that on any night they were mentioned, they would eventually materialise, and there was never any trouble finding them. But some of our friends may have been giving us more guidance than I realised to make sure we ended up in the right place
Glow in the dark beer, would be great for summer nights. Kinda distracting once people start to fumble about maybe, but a great way to find the one who fell over in a bush somewhere.
Does anyone know if this glowing tikka dish ever got made, and if so where one might acquire it? A brief Google has turned up the company and suggestions this was *going* to be made, but nothing further. Also, I can confirm that the next-day "Scottish salad" is definitely a thing, even more so than the deep-fried stuff. Best after mashing the chips slightly, then topping with mayo and chives.

I think he's saying the myth is that lots of people in Scotland ate them before they got famous- they are certainly more common nowadays because of their notoriety, but I can well believe they weren't much of a thing back in the day.
"Morag, bring me a bed of rice..... the children will eat!" One of the funniest moments from television I can ever remember, yes so few people know about it.
Deep fried pizza certainly is not a myth, while in high school I used to eat them for my lunch most days. Not only did I but most of the people going into that chippy from school did also. Pizza crunch is amazing, especially when you put a chip on top and bite into both at the same time.
Deep fried pizza was a fave of my friends and I as teenagers, we used to often chip in (no pun intended, well maybe a wee one) and share a pizza supper.
When he said that it was a myth, I misheard "and meth," to which I wondered if Scotland was having a problem with it like we are in the US. Deep frying your meth sounds like a very American concept!
Scotland does have a very serious drug problem. I think it's got the highest percentage of drug addicts in all of Europe, and it's MUCH higher than England for some reson.
If you want an epic and I mean EPIC dish that emerged from British Indian restaurants then seek out Chicken Chasni. It's basically tikka masala but it's jacked up with tamarind, ketchup and/or chutney to have a sweet & sour taste.
True. I moved to Livingston from England. I went to the chippy one day and ordered pizza. I couldn't believe it when the guy threw the pizza in the deep fryer. Tasted ok, mind....
I am quite partial to a half pizza crunch as it's called. A canadian friend of mine once asked to try it and the verdict was "It shouldn't work, but it kinda does"
A friend of mine from Pakistan, who runs an "Indian" restaurant said that the best "Indian" restaurants and the best Indian food in the world is made in London, both privately and in restaurants.
Scottish deep fried Mars Bars are NOT a myth! I've seen them made and served more than once in Scotland - plus deep fried (and battered!) Snickers, Chocolate Eggs, etc. I've never tried them as instant coronary isn't on my bucket list. In some places in Scotland, if you ask for a meat pie and chips, a cold pie is simply thrown in to fry with the chips. And it tastes as disgusting as it sounds. I have tried deep fried haggis and deep fried black pudding, both of which I found very tasty. I've yet to try cod roe, which I was told was once widely available but I never yet found in a traditional fish and chip shop. If you're a visitor to the UK, and want to sample traditional fish and chips, make sure both Yorkshire and Northumberland are on your route. The best fish and chips I've ever had, I found in Holmfirth in Yorkshire. The second best in Seahouses in Northumberland. One thing that IS a myth is that fish and chips are unhealthy. Properly made (and that's the trick) and in moderation, it's perfectly wholesome food.
Miles B that’s aberdeen; the granite city. I used to live in Glasgow, now aberdeen. On the rare occasion that it is sunny in Aberdeen the building sparkle slightly from the granite.
For some strange reason they appear to have cut Fred's comment "Morag, bring me a bed of rice - the children shall eat". This was in the original clip.
I live in the north east of Scotland and unfortunately there is a chippy that sells deep fried Mars bars here, at least they did, I can’t say I’ve eaten one in well over a decade

Never really thought much about deep dish, not actually being deep fried. Guess that also depends on just how greasy they make it.
