Hey, I hope you don"t mind, but we stole your photo, removed your watermark and added our own watermark so others wouldn"t steal it from us. That way we can make money off of your photo! Thanks!

As a scot might I make another recommendation.

Deep fried jumbo haggis in batter. Not regular a regualr haggis supper the jumbo haggis is an entire haggis usually enough to feed 2 hungry people deep fried in batter. Magnificent.

These snacks also have an interesting side effect. If you eat a deep fried pizza supper you can drink alchohol heavily for the next 24hours and not get drunk. I once at a deep fried pizza supper before tackling a bottle of whisky, crate of beer and bottle of ruma and failed to get slightly drunk!

Oh but the British, for all their failings, did bring tea to the Indian and curry to the Japanese and the rest of the world. Sure, they don"t eat all that well back home, but a smart and resilient people they are.

Why aren"t the British all dead? I don"t understand? Really, I just spent the last half hour reading about "traditional" British food. How did they colonize the world? I need a nap just from looking at this stuff.

Wade, I am not sure, but the cheeseburger was frozen and not precooked, you need to test internal temperature with a probe from time to time to verify.

what kind of batter is used for deep fried hamburgers, how long are they in the deep fryer, and do you need to prep. the burgers in any way such as a little grill time?

Stephanie, I"d rather not know what"s inside, but generally batter is made of a little flour in milk or water. See my article "I like small fry" for more details.

What is the batter made of?

Stephanie, they use frozen burgers because that"s what restaurants do. How could they do different? Even Mc Donald"s use frozen burgers. I am not sure how you could do this with fresh burgers, though.

Just a question..wondering what the batter is made of and doe you have to use frozen burgers or can you use fresh burger? Also do you freeze them two together with the cheese in the middle? Please help we want to make these just not real sure how

Christy, the bruger is frozen when cooked and the batter is the same as for the fish. I don"t cook this all that often (!) but only saw the guy dip it in once.

Aptronym, the things I did for this blog you have no idea! Actually I could not finish the deep-fried cheeseburger, but from the little I ate along with the rest in the shop, I was sick for the better part of the afternoon anyway!

Are the burger pattys frozen when cooked? Is the batter a cheese batter? Do you have to dip them twice?

Did you actually eat this? If you did, I think that you should be given an award (especially in light of the deep fried Mars Bar) for going above and beyond the call of duty in the name of gastronomy.

FX, you have a lot to answer for. I made kaesespaetzli last night... there was a little left over... and after we made this, my husband took the remaining *spaetzli* and fried them. :)My arteries are complaining, but *I* thank you. :)

Don thanks for visiting! Scotch eggs are not scottish but were invented by Fortnum and Mason in London in the 18th century. Never saw them in Scotland but I will try to find a good recipe for you.

My only traceable Scottish background involves numerous visits there,and oh yes,a lifetime membership in "Friends of Laphroig". My reason for writing,do you have a grand recipe for "scotch" eggs? Maybe different to my normal method. Mine must be lacking true greatness,as I"m 73 years old. And I"ve demised many of these beauties. Don

My brother used to deep fry everything out of boredom, including whole hamburgers(bun fixings etc) which was not a success until he chopped the failed deepfried burgers into slices and added them to poutine, deepfried hamburger poutine as the special of the day, it unfortunately was a big success at the ski hill he worked at.

Melissa, thanks for the tip on bannock, but would you have a good recipe for it? I"d sure want to try it at home.

I"m from Manitoba where we have a delicious local bread called bannock which was brought to our region by Scottish settlers at the beginning of the 19th century (Bannock = Gaelic for bread). The favorite way to eat bannock here is to deep fry it in lard and then smother it in butter and jam. It can also be used for pizza crust and is quite good when formed into rolls, fried and used for making hamburgers and the like. We Scots have been using dietary means to shorten life span for quite some time but aye its worth it.

I am surpised that a perfectionist like yourself doesn"t mention the additional nutrients derived from the partially melted polystyrene plates. A respectable chef will make sure to dish the food-solution into a truly low-grade plastic tub so that the volatile solvents add a hint of extra-special flavour. To the locals it indicates freshness and no waste on expensive cutlery.

The tastiest dish you can enjoy in Scotland is Finnan Haddock -- whole fillets of haddock poached carefully in milk and then served with baps (large, rather flaccid bread rolls). It should eaten at around 5 p.m. -- time of the legendary "high tea" that makes sense given the bracing climate.

Unfortunately these Scottish fried items (especially the candy bars) are all too common over here in America. In the midwest we have state fairs where 75% of the food seems to be formulated under the concept of "what can we deep fry next."

You"re right, the Scottish diet is one of extremes - some of the very best food you"ll ever eat anywhere (think game, think smoked salmon, think of a large number of really first class restaurants and chefs), and some of the most disgusting stuff you"ll ever taste (fried Mars bar, anyone?), plus a long queue outside every chippy (and not just on a Friday) ...GREAT photosJoanna
