I tried all sorts when I was up there.
Chinese, Indian, English.

Very few were acceptable.

I think the problem is twofold, any meal served in Scotland has to
have 33% more calories than that across the border England.

The other problem is that the grease the extra calories are comprised
of is probably bought with less thought and consideration than
something stuck on a garden gate hinge.

Not that England is much better. If you pay a fortune fine, but you
took pot luck otherwise.

In the end I stopped dining in restaurants altogether, even though it
cost me nothing.

Easier to drop into Asda or Morrisons for chicken portions or smoked
mackerel. It was so cheap I couldn't be bothered with an expese claim,
there was very little waiting between "courses" and no annoying
pillock would interrupt me half way through to ask some inane question
about meal enjoyment.

The potteries never did have much of a reputation for any food once
you got past oatcakes.

They had a Wrights pie shop on the canal, and it was said that no dead

Still on sale today, I did my apprentiship with those as the staple.
Great if you could get the antacids :-(

Oh dear( I haven't ever tried one. Lucky me, eh?

It does not quite do justice to the sensations experienced half an

There are two sorts of deep fried pizza - one with batter (pizza crunch) and
one without. The crunch option is 20-30p extra.

My local chippy offers mince pie, steak pie, jumbo sausage, smoked sausage,
smoked sausage in batter, spicy haggis, sweet chilli haggis, hamburger,
spring rolls, haggis pakora, and chicken wings; I assume all of those go in
the fryer.

Do you like them??

I have always made our own pizzas. I learned when I was living in Malta,
so Italian (as it was then) style with a thick base.

D. prefers the thick base.

I never use the chippies any more. Not that we have one anywhere near
us. When we go down to Yorkshire we often do, but we can't get down anymore
for the time being.

Never had a d/f pizza.

They used to make quite good proper pizze as well, being Italian, but I don't think they do at the moment - maybe it means too long a wait in the shop for social distancing to work.

My first Scotch pie was bought in a pub somewhere near Gretna, The
publican apologised as it wasn't hot.

The closest thing I recollect to the dining experience was the time I
Waxoyled my Morris Ital!

It coated the roof of my mouth with a thick layer of congealed fat. I
swear I was nearly all the way to Cairnryan before It liquified.

As far as value goes, I can believe it. I lost my enthusiasm for
eating for some hours after :-(

If you think a proper Scotch pie is greasy, try an Aldi Scotch pie. They are NOT nice. Greasy and bland.

I shop at Aldi quite a lot. Their wine was brilliant.
Apart from that I'm afraid I shop in the belief that the less that
they do as far as processing goes the better.

Not sure if its them or Lidl that do Tunnocks caramel wafers though,
but there is a peice of Scots perfection, to be ranked alongside
Arbroath Smokies and Haggis.
