Salt 'n' vinegar?

Post by Claude Balls » Wed Mar 20, 2019 1:36 pm

From the Scotsman's "What are we like?!!?" section today:

A Scottish chippy has unveiled an Easter version of the deep fried Mars Bar - a battered Creme Egg.

The calorific treat is available at takeaway Off The Hook, in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. Staff say they tasked customers with coming up with a new addition to the menu to celebrate five years since opening. The result was deep fried Creme Eggs - which will be on sale until Easter costing £1.

Owners Johnny Chung, 34, and wife Lee Chung, 31, quickly came up with a light batter to fry the Creme Eggs in. Mum-of-two Lee said: “We have had a lot of people coming in - a lot of people have said it’s disgusting, I think it’s a love or hate thing. I love it, they’re really good and it's paying for my holiday this year. The fondant goes all gooey in the middle and syrupy, it’s nice. We’ve sold quite a few, I don’t know the exact figures but we're hoping for more, after this shameless act of self-publicity”

The chocolate cannot be fried for long in case it begins to burn. The exact number of calories is not know but Lee (obviously the brains of the operation) said she “would imagine quite a lot”. Lee added: “We’ve never done anything like deep fried Mars Bars. To be honest. we do quite a lot of specials and if they do really well, we do keep them on the menu, but honestly I can’t see us doing this. It is quite hard to get Creme Eggs the rest of the year after Easter. That and the fact it's fucking minging."

There are quite a few £5 points in this article.

Deep fried hot cross buns. It's what Mr Christ would have wanted.

If they were called Tempura, the middle-classes would lap them up.

"battered Creme Egg"

Going by results I guess that's the Scottish national teams version of the half time orange.

As we say in Scotland, "if you can eat it, you can deep fry it!"
