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.

Visited Scotland

Walked into a little mom-n-pop fast restaurant

Wondered wtf is a "deep fried pizza", ordered one.

Dude took a "frozen" pizza out of the fridge

Dude folded it in half and stuck it in an oil deep fry.

OMFG never tasted such sweet sin... crispy flakey crust on the outside, melty cheesy inside

Totally worth the 10 million calories and arterial hardening

    I'm flabbergasted that I've never seen that dish in the US. Well done rando Scot!

    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.

    What, did you think that was the one bit of Americana that didn't cross an ocean?

    Nah, thought Scots like themselves enough to not eat like that.
