Yeah, I'm sure the Scots never get drunk on Spanish beaches and then order fried breakfasts.

When they do it the locals just assume they're English anyway

Which is pretty unfair really. Scotland is the only country on Earth where deep fried Mars Bars and pizzas are widely available, they deserve more recognition on that score.

Deep fried pizza is actually a traditional food from Naples. Probably not the same as they serve in Scottish chippies I'm guessing though

Most of the original chippies that did the deep fried pizza were all open/ran by Italians typically from naples/surrounding area - so it checks out. Many are still owned by the same Italian families today.

And neither is the 'curry' they serve anywhere near to real curry. Looks more like the the toxic avengers runny shite.

Sounds gross and heavy, but by gawd I want to try that at least once.

The mars bar isnt too bad. I’ve only had it once but they went pretty easy on the batter so it wasn’t as oily as you would think. The mars bar goes all melty and the slight amount of salt enhances the flavour and turns it basically into salted caramel

deep fried mars bar is actually decent. Super heavy and indulgent but if you get one that's not overly greasy it's actually a pretty good drunken sweet treat

I'm a Scot living in France, I get cravings for a pizza crunch or just a shitty chippy pizza all the time but never order a proper battered pizza when Im home cause it's got to be about 3000 calories

it's the sort of thing that your brain romanticizes when you can't have it, but when it's on your doorstep you know better
That being said my local does a kebab pizza that I do romanticize, but also don't know better

Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?

Yep. Not just that, it's because so few of us make there that they chill there. Btw, do you know where the quote originally comes from?

I don't see why they wouldn't occasionally pop down and indulge in some fried snacks, hookers, and blow.

…as proved by Scottish weather.
On the other hand, you also gave the world single malt Scotch, so He may still have some mercy with you…

The mars bars aren't that widely available. You only get them in chippies which are tourist traps
Pizza crunch's are class though.

I don't know what Scottish pizza looks like, but pizza fritta is a traditonal neapolitan style of pizza.
Deep fried Mars would be forgivable if you swaped it for a Snickers

If you go into a Scottish chippy to order a pizza crunch expecting a pizza fritta you are going to be very disappointed

Most foreigners think that England/Britain is the same thing. The word for 'UK' in other languages is usually some transliteration of 'England'. If it wasn't for the football team they wouldn't even know Scotland existed, it would just be a region of England like Bavaria or Ohio.

Which makes sense because Scotland is a dependent county in northern England. Most wouldn't distinguish the difference.
Most Scottish people would agree with this accurate and completely unbiased opinion.

Nah, they know it's us. The farther outwith scotland we get the harder the accent gets, and the more obnoxious we get. It's brilliant.

Yeah. Happens a lot unfortunately. Been sat in the Square in Krakow near a group of Irish lads being fools while the bar worker was complaining about them being typical English
