Tonight the kids and I decided to treat ourselves to fish and chips out of the local fish and chip shop. I probably have a fish supper about once a year but I am never the one who goes to get it. It is years since I was inside a Chippie. Standing in the queue, I was reading the menu. It said Pizza - deep fried £1-80, ovenbaked £3-85! I always thought deep-fried pizzas were a myth like deep-fried Mars Bars - surely people don't actually eat deep-fried pizzas? Interestingly, the batch of chips wasn't ready, so I had to wait approximately 3 minutes. In that time 3 people actually bought deep-fried pizzas! (And worse still no one bought an ovenbaked one). Incredible!

I still remember when I bought one. It was in Pitlochrie six or seven years ago (when I was in Edinburgh for the Gaelic summer school). I ordered a pizza, and the guy said to me: "It's deepfried, you know!" (He must have had complaints from foreigners before.) I assumed I had misunderstood him (I had a few problems with Scottish accents back then), so I just said it was fine... But I couldn't believe my own eyes when he took a pizza, deepfried it and sprinkled it with salt! The taste was OK, actually, but not like a pizza at all.
You tasted it! You, a connaisseur of fine cuisine????
What did you want me to do? To die from the shock?
Probably not die but faint at least!
Mens don't faint, you know ;-) And if he should have done that after eating strange food, he couldn't have done a body craching ;-)
Is this guy Sebastian real ?
He comes out with some crackers ,, What the hell is a body craching ??
And mens do so faint ,,, I did once when a nurse washed my hands !! Ha, that's got you thinking I bet ?
And what the hell's so wrong with a deep fried Pizza anyway ,,
It's a good ole Scottish dish ,, ( to be taken when pished of course ) You Scandinavians must have something you're ashamed to admit to too ?
Oh shure I'm real - just check my blog and homepage ;-) i have been studying Linguistics with Thomas for years. Body craching is a dicipline in which (normal) peoply tries to eat as much food in strange combinations as possible, nad wommits all over. Not a nice way to treat food.
