Nah, s'big and orange and shaggy. (Actually, they seem to have vanished.
Sure they were there a week ago. Must investigate)

Probably is. We slaughtered pretty much anything that looked at us
funny, and there weren't many of them to start with...

Sheep preparing to donate their stomaches...

Uuurrrrrp.....

Ah, but the smell is wonderful.

There is admittedly some really terrible food out there.
Deep fried Mars Bar for example.
Take a chocolate bar.
Add batter.
Deep fry till golden brown.

That... doesn't even sound *possible*. Wouldn't the Mars bar turn into
liquid in the process?

I am (un)reliably told that you get a sort of scalding hot caramelised
stuff. It's enough to make me go diabetic just thinking about it.

(It could be worse. Deep-fried creme eggs)

Hmmm. Any horrible smoking pyres nearby?

Safer than "sex," or safer than "British sex?" I always assumed British
sex was pretty safe, 'cuz it doesn't seem to actually happen.

And people complain about the horribleness of such American food
products as the Big Mac...

They actually are big, orange and shaggy.
Unfortunately, they've wandered away from the window, so I can't get
a picture.

That... doesn't even sound *possible*. Wouldn't the Mars bar turn into
liquid in the process?

A popular easter treat.
I kid you not.

If a deep fryer could be made to work in earth orbit (a large glob of
several hundred degree hot grease might be troublesome if you floated
into it), it would open up a whole new world of culinary possibilities
for the International Space Station crew.

Here is a recipe for Deep Fried Hostess Twinkies

6 Hostess Twinkies®
Wooden popcycle sticks
4 cups vegetable oil
Flour
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp oil
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS: Freeze the Twinkies for several hours or overnight.
Preheat 4 cups oil in a deep fryer to 375 F. Prepare a batter mixing
1 cup flour, milk, vinegar & oil. In another bowl, blend flour,
baking powder & salt. Whisk wet ingredients into dry & continue
mixing until smooth. Refrigerate the batter while the oil reaches
desired temperature. Push sticks into Twinkies lengthwise, leaving
about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust with the remaining flour &
dip into the batter. Rotate until batter covers the entire cake,
allow excess to drip then place carefully in the hot oil. The Twinkie
will float, so hold it under with an extra stick or other utensil, to
provide even browning. The cake should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes.
When frying do not crowd the Twinkies, one at a time is probably best.
Remove from oil & place on a paper towel to drain. Remove the stick
(the center will be to soft to use the stick to hold the Twinkie) &
allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Can't speak for Scottish food, but I think it does go to further explain my
theory of the British Empire.

Basically it was the belief, "there's GOT to be better food out there
somewhere!"

It's quite possible. Keep in mind that while the Mars Bar is turning
into liquid, the batter coating is turning into a solid.

Not me.

It really isn't that easy from Europe.

Believe me, I'm trying to get an engineering team on site at a customer and
its proving to be a nightmare.
