have you heard of the mars bar getting fried in batter at the chippie
not tried it and not going to
At the local agricultural fair a few days ago there was a Hot Chocolate van selling all of your favourite chocolate bars fried. Didn't have the courage to try one and the kids weren't too keen either maybe next year we will be local enough to give it a go

If you'd bothered to read the first post i said 'Italians, Greeks and Lebanese fall into this category' i never said they were the only ones. fact.

You did.

I shall quote directly from your post:

For christs sake - ALL i was trying to say right from the beginning (in a light hearted manner mind you) was that you don't find many Aussie blokes playing soccer. FFS get a life and stop being such a miserable prick, i feel sorry for you. Do you not get sick of being a pain in the ass? bored now.

Aussie chips just arent the same (and I'm an aussie :scared: )

The chippy that we use to live near in Rutherglen only half cooked there chips, which put me off a little. However, the Chinese shop next door cooked them just right. I like my chips crunchy, hope I don't sound too whining.....

The mars bars are lovely

LOL re the deep fried pies though, went up to Edinburgh a few years ago and definatley saw deep fried scotch pies. Told my partner about them when we went this year but couldnt find em anywhere, the chippy I saw them in before said they've never done em but they have. My other half doesnt believe they existed
