It's more bar meal than pub grub but fair dos.

Or maybe more gastropub than pub is what I mean.

Either way It's not on the same menu as pork scratching and pickled onion with crisps.

You all do realize you're getting 5 for $5, not 1 for $5... That's only $1 each! And I'm sure it won't be long until competitors invent a better version that costs less.

Yeah, personally, I'm working on a form of Batterless Beer. I think I'll serve it in a glass...

Look at the size of them.


Compared to say your battered haggis that's like 1/10 the size for two thirds of the price.

On second thoughts more like 1/20

Jumbo Haggis Supper, from The Clamshell, Royal Mile Edinburgh (conveniently just a few doors up from the Edinburgh GW)....£4.10.

I'll trade you five ravioli sized battered beers + £1.10 for your jumbo haggis supper, deal?

Erm...hold on....


YOU GO TO HELL! YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!

Thought so.

I feel the need for a trip to the UK for food/beer tasting and 40k coming on... I shoulda moved there when I had the chance

Is that deep fried haggis?

The batterless beer sounds good
You could be onto a winner with that.

I seem to recall this beverage called ale that has been around for ages. Saw it on the telly once...

Coming, tomorrow night!

Yet more, fuzzy, out of focus, poorly aimed (but this time not entirely faked) photos from everyones least favourite Interweb Prankster...

But this time of Snr Secret (my Spanish name) scoffing a Haggis Supper!

Jumbo haggis supper or it means nothing!

Oh you'll see my Haggis alright young man! You'll see it! Just you watch!

Of what else does the supper consist, other than Elephant Haggis?

Must say it is a goodly dish, and am still able to psuedo partake courtesy of veggie haggis. Sorry I realise that such is probably heretical, but it is the best I can do.

My sister-in-law does a very nice haggis starter at Christmas with cream and liqueur.

It's like a fish supper, fish and chips. Haggis supper, haggis and chips. And so it goes on.

Ah
sorry was thinking along the lines of neeps and tatties or some such. But that wouldn't really be a supper I guess

It really is showing l that I don't get out much
Time to crawl back under the rock of seclusion

Ignorance is bliss where Scottish cuisine is concerned.

what the feth is haggis?

never mind. Google told me.






*puke*

I wonder what it looks like. Or tastes like!

Either total gak or fething amazing.

You Bloody lucky bastards

Deep fried beer! You magnificent Texan bastards!

Hmm, next flight to Texas is $1,785, and leave in just under an hour’s time. I think I can make it!

Yeah, there’s been beer batter for a long time. But the alcohol is cooked off during the process, so it gives a slightly salty beer flavour, but it won’t get you drunk.

According to the magnificent Texan bastard that invented this, the alcohol isn’t lost in the cooking process here. While deep fried beer is pretty awesome this also opens the door to all kinds of alcoholic edibles.

I don't want to know How

I just want to know Why

I would definitely try Deep Fried Haggis. I love deep fried Twinkies too, they just aren't all that easy to come by now that I don't live in the sticks anymore. That said...

God Bless Texas.

So, what now? I'm not sure where we go from here.....

re what is haggis like?
Spicy tasty

Next stop deep fried Whisky, Dreadwinter.

Hmm maybe In the UK but Batterd Mars Bars are beautiful here in Australia.

They taste better how and why?
A Mars bar is a Mars bar and deep fried sugar is deep fried sugar
Ah, maybe they aren't deep fried with the fish, chips and pizzas and everything else in Oz?

Do they use animal fat to fry stuff in Scotland?
Some of the chippies in Yorkshire don't use vegetable oil and the resulting chips are disgusting but the locals swear by it *puke*

I think Fraz needs to go to this Fried Foods competition and sample some.
Then report his findings back here for all to enjoy.

It would be worth having once, to see what it was like.

I reckon deep fried liqueur chocolates are a logical next step.

I've had a battered sausage and a battered burger. Not at the same time, you understand. I've also had a battered haggis, believe it or not!

Apparently the Jocks do a sausage wrapped in donner meat, then battered and deep fried. It's like, 2000 calories or something!

Maybe it's a brit thing, but not being familiar with donner meat, this was my first thought: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_party
