A comment on this earlier AskLemmy post inspired me to ask this question. I think there's lots of delicious British food/it really depends on how you cook it, as with any cuisine.

Oh, this isn't 'rando'. Chippies in Scotland will deep fry any fucking thing. Pizza? Standard. Mars bar? Of course! In some chippies you can even take something you've bought somewhere else and ask if they'll batter and fry the fucker for you and they'll say yes.

Whenever I get home to Scotland, my personal supper of choice is the haggis supper - a sausage of haggis meat, battered and deep fried, and served with beautifully fried chips, of course. The second night I'm home (especially if the wife isn't with me) is a haddock supper. Fuckin' grand.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I'm told by those who do that the deep fried Bounty is just the wrong side of the acceptable line of deep fried sweet shit.

I used to do a star bar tempura as a dessert.

I'll never forget passing my local chippy when I lived in Edinburgh and seeing they'd handwritten "almost" on the "WE WILL DEEP FRY ANYTHING" sign.

Behind every sign there's a story.
