It was only a matter of time... Deep Fried Pizza.

People didn't put batter on deep fried pizzas when I was young. And no daintily torn herbs, either.

It seems that the Scottish tradition of frying every thing in sight (including pizzas) has been merged with the southern tradition of battering everything it fries. Thus we now have battered and fried pizza served with a nice basil garnish.

The merger of the worst cuisine of both countries.

Batter is a SOUTHERN thing, anyway.

Yeah, battering food before it is fried is a very southern thing. It's what gives KFC chicken its crunchy breaded outer casing.

And yet pot is REALLY bad for you?

Hypocricy revealed once again.

[Zkribbler]

yeah, I think the only thing the West Coast batters is our hotdogs on a stick.

Is it true KFC is not allowed to call their chicken "chicken" because it does not classify as one? And they can only call it KFC?

hahaha

I have been living in Singapore for 2 years now, food is cheap, but somewhat fattening.

Anyway, I have learned that I can eat just 1 meal a day, I have almost completely lost my excess fat (so technically, I would say I am underweight at this point); for the rest of the day I will drink water and at night I might have a bit of chocolate. Works well, save heaps of money too, I'm becoming a survivor! When the worlds food run out, the USAians will be starving to death from only being able to eat 1 meal a day, but I shall be living happily!

btw, my expenditures on my meals per day is about $5, thats a pathetic $150 on food a month. Damn good!

I remember having a discussion about this when I was a kid.

The theory is fat people will survive longer when the food runs out because they have more fat to live off of. Sure us thin people can survive on one meal a day (I eat 2 myself), but take that away and we'll die faster than fat people.

I thought that too, it sounds logical, but I have read and heard on numerous occasions that this is not entirely true. I can't remember what the reasons were.

[MRT144]

because fat people would commit suicide over the thought of not eating!

In a cannibalistic state, the fat people are the first to go

I would think the pizza would not need batter, its already bread and chesse which fry quite nicly. I wonder if it would be practical to prepare the Pizza as normal, slice it raw and just fry as the only means of cooking. It would save time and reduce the required equipment as well.

The southern tradition of deep-fat frying stuff comes directly from thier Ulster Scott ancestors, so it's more like a reunion. .
