Deep fried pizza

Having received a challenge from work colleagues to try out the Scottish delicacy of Deep-fried Pizza, I made a quick diversion to the local chippy this evening to purchase a pizza supper. I had been promised a memorable culinary experience... well, I can honestly say that this promise was fulfilled. Unfortunately, it will be memorable as an experience that I don't want to repeat. Maybe it was the toppings on the pizza, or even the type of cooking oil used?! However, it wasn't the most enjoyable dinner I've ever had. Sorry to all my Scottish chums. Oh well, I gave it a try. Some time ago, I tried the just-as-famous deep-fried Mars Bar - that was ok, as it basically tasted like a chocolate crepe. But the pizza soaked through with oil just didn't cut it. Coincidentally, as I was waiting in the chippy for my dinner to be cooked, in walked the two police officers who recently interviewed me over the disruptive plane passenger (see the 21 August 2007 post in this Blog for details). I thought for a moment that they would arrest the chip shop owner for crimes against healthy eating!
