Depp fried haggis and chips also, though that’s actually quite nice.

Ah I have had as well it is pretty damned tasty.

Given Thailand has been quite prominent, a nice Green Curry might be appropriate.

Why the hell would you deep fry a pizza? Thats sounds kinda awful.

It’s alleged to be a Weegie thing. Mostly for tourists, like deep-fried Mars bars and chips.

Nah - deep fried pizza is actually original Italian cuisine. . Deep field calzone version (folded pizza) is lovely.

Weegie version uses cheap frozen pizza (allegedly) but can't say I've ever tried it.

Deep fried mars bar origin is hotly disputed - chippie in Stonehaven near us is adamant they invented it.

There’s a chip shop in Newburn that does battered and deep fried jam sandwiches. And it isn’t in Scotland.

Is that the Tyne and Wear version or Berkshire

You can keep that!

(BTW deep fried mars bars are edible but that's about all I can say for them!)

 

[kelgar04]

TBH anything is better than deep fried pickles, that item is just plain awful.

Deep fried Doner Kebab is allegedly available in Scotland.
The calorie and fat percentage I will leave for others to work out.

Australia had a long history of Chinese cooking from the Goldfields days when Chinese migrants arrived on our shores, mainly from the Southern Provinces. After the Gold ran out, they established Chinese Restaurants and spread out around the continent. It wasn't really until post-war that Vietnamese and then later Cambodian migrants arrived from the SE Asian diaspora. Interesting, many learned to cook Thai-flavoured food in the refugee camps and so we had an explosion of those Restaurants around the inner cities in the late 1970s. In the 1980s-90s we had many Indians arrive from primarily Fiji and then later, India itself and so we had Indian .restaurants arrive on the scene.

Though I would argue in the suburbs the Thais have been pushing the Chinese out.

Spam and bully beef are quite popular in more remote areas like PNG and the outback.

Stonner kebab - Wikipedia

from the article: "The stonner kebab became notable for having 1,000 kcal (4,200 kJ) of food energy and 46 g (1.6 oz) of fat"

But I don’t like Spam!

No one likes Spam -you just have to eat it.

When you have spent time at sea eating god knows what by a cook you are pretty sure would never find a cooking job ashore.

You start to crave a can of spam.

Then of course there is the famous macaroni pie, which I believe is a Glaswegian thing.

For an interesting take on what the soldiers of WW2 actually had to eat, and indeed what their current day counterparts eat, this is a pretty good channel:

I was visiting my friend in Edinburgh late 80 went to a chippie and I was horrified to see them folding a frozen pizza in half and dropping it in the fryer then pulled out one for the guy in front with the grease flowing off. Knew Edinburghers had no class

 

[I lurk therefore I am]

I used to frequent a Chinese takeaway/Chippie in Crosby that did the best BBQ spare ribs.

The ribs they used were large ones, and you bought them by the rib for 50p each. They came with the most awesome tasting, but also most likely the most unhealthy, sauce ever, served with a tray of chips to absorb the sauce.

Utterly delicious, though you could hear your arteries hardening as you eat them.

 

[Julius Vogel]

Well I've had deep fried Mars bars in Scotland and deep fried Moro bars in New Zealand and both felt like like one's arteries were clogging as you ate.
