Did you do the Glasgow delicacy of deep fried pizza*?

*can be battered & deep fried!

Ah, battered first is “pizza crunch”.

No, we went to Paesano. They don’t fry anything there, sadly.

 

[danny la rouge]

Not sure Glasgow can claim it tbf.

I took an American friend to a chip shop in the 80s. Deep frying pizzas was the default unless stated otherwise back then. He amused the queue by shouting “oh no, look what you’ve done!” when they dropped his pizza into the fryer.

And I rue the day when it became not the default.

Ooh is it common over Scotland? Saying that I had it for first time ever just a few years back at Burnt Island but just deep fried. Had half pizza supper. I was born & brought up in Glasgow & all family there. Never tried it growing up but was my sisters chippy order.

Oh yes. Though I think the battered thing is less usual -- can't speak for Glasgow, but the only place I recall having a deep fried pizza with a battered base was Brattisani's in Edinburgh.

I had time to try out the Star Trek doors noise on my daughter, but she didn’t know what I was doing and said it was too niche to be understood.

It sounds a bit like Ivor the Engine really - 'fishticuff'

Me and Mrs SFM had our first deep fried pizza in Glasgow in 1989 after an Anti Poll Tax March - possibly the meal that brought us together! Definitely the food of love

Ask them to take the precaution of sewing up the aperture in their son's pyjamas

That's exactly how it sounds

Late to the party once more I was going to suggest barging up to the dad, getting a two-fist grip on his shirt front and bellowing DO YOU KNOW THAT WEE SHITE IS BANGING MY DAUGHTER into his face.

So from first impressions do you think they can help overthrow capital and the class system?

Well, everyone can, the question is will they?

Probably a question for the second meet I guess

Wear a backpack with a baseball bat sticking out the top and before any introductions can be made ask them if they've got any gear.
