I also lived with somebody at first year of Uni who used to just tear pizza with his hands - I can only now assume he is in jail somewhere. 

Or he's working as an Blacksmith?

Hello fred,

Yeah, word on DIY Street is that it had only just found out that it was a chainsaw when that photo was taken. It had originally thought it was a harmless ancient pagan tradition. What you see is the manifestation of a chainsaw going through existential angst.

I actually think the states does pizza better than any other country

Worth noting that whilst the States does have some very good pizza, it also has plenty of absolutely fucking awful pizza.

So does Italy and every other country.

 

Judge countries on their best pizza, not the worst.

The best pizza I ever had was one from Pizza hut in Canada ... think the base must have been deep fried or something ... was really crispy

No I'm here mate. Good behaviour.

I've been to a restaurant where they gave you scissors to cut the pizza but they were big flat things, so the scissors felt like kind of a novelty. I didn't realise people were cutting pizzas with scissors at home.

Did you have it at Christmas time?

Deep pan, crisp and even...

I like Scotland very much. It’s a beautiful country, they’re a friendly lot, I love a good single malt and their dedication to excellent breakfast foods should be regularly applauded. 
the deep fried stuff is hit and miss. White pudding supper and haggis are both amazing. But deep frying a pizza? 🤨 what are you doing up there?!?!

One of the best football chants I heard was during a Scotland v Italy game. Things were as usual not going too well so the Scottish crowd started singing, in an attempt to wind up the Italians. 

’deep fry your pizzas, we’re gonna deep fry your pizzas’

Can you tell what it is yet?

 

It's a deep fried M & S Colin the Catterpillar.

 

 

 

And yes it was a Scottish chippy that deep fried it.

Saw that on Twitter the other day. I believe they christened it Colin the Batterpillar

Have you had one? They are geniuenly great, it's not a joke novelty food like the deep-fried sweets it's my standard chip shop order and going without was of the the things I really missed when living in England.

There's a guy on YouTube who has a channel basically checking if various foods fry, inc. chinese take aways, Big Macs, Zinger burgers etc. Here he is trying three different Dominos pizzas.

Messrs Mark and Spencer will be turning in their graves at this treatment of one of their signature cakes! Actually the deep frying of everything in some chip shops probably goes back to the days when these shops didn’t have any other way of cooking and heating food, no ovens, microwaves etc.  So everything just got battered and chucked in the hot animal fat. Chickens, pies, black pudding, hamburgers, sausages etc all went in with the fish.

The problem with that theory is that in other parts of the country in times long gone by, they also wouldn't have had ovens, microwaves etc either, but I've not really heard of deep frying 'odd foods' in batter anywhere else other than Scotland.

I have to agree with that! Seriously I’ve always avoided foods cooked in this way, stodgy with grease dripping out them. Deep fried heart attacks. The pizza is one of the worst. The dough just becomes totally saturated with grease unlike for instance a pie where at least you can cut a hole in the base allowing surplus fat to drain out.  Sounds as disgusting as it tastes! Anyway I’m off for lunch, chicken salad sandwich, a pear and an apple.  That’s me, a disgrace to my nation😉

I also think it is a West of Scotland thing, in my younger days I regularly had a deep fried pizza and chips, for some reason always in the early hours of the morning. However I moved to Aberdeen and no deep fried pizza. I still visit family in Glasgow and the thing that has developed since I left is the munchy box, basically a pizza box filled with chips, various deep fried thins, usually some pizza and often kebab meat, no salad or vegetables in this lot.

Not just the WoS, never forget that the infamous 'Stauner (or 'stonner' according to this article) Supper' originated on the East Coast:
