they look nice, but no doubt a billion calories and sickening

..mock chop and a buster...

Asteria · 21/11/2010 23:36

I am actually dribbling now...

Bellagio · 21/11/2010 23:37

saorachd- is a mock chop the same as a lamb choppie?
I don't know what a buster is mind

A1980 · 21/11/2010 23:38

I wouldn't want a battered and fried one but they are great microwaved. All warm and gooey!

cakewench · 21/11/2010 23:40

mm I shared one with DH. It was lovely. Not something I'd eat often, but I'm glad I tried it.

saorachd · 21/11/2010 23:40

Bellagio - yes it is sort of similar except the mock chop is only shaped like a chop. god knows what is in it.
a buster is chips and peas together.

I've had a battered mars bar, a milky way and a creme egg {proud} Bloody lovely.

Would love to try a stonner too. I'm a messGrin

Thanks for link, auntie- I didn't dream it! In fact, it's almost word for word what I said. Brilliant Grin

I saw a story about a deep fried creme egg about 10 years ago...

saorachd · 21/11/2010 23:48

creme egg...Envy

OldLadyKnowsNothing - Salunsauce?

poppyknot · 21/11/2010 23:53

Is this the most calorific thread ever?

Oooh, yes please, poppyknot!

LetThereBeRock · 22/11/2010 00:01

Sauce on chips in unnatural. Salt and vinegar is the only acceptable topping.

Bellagio · 22/11/2010 00:05

saorachd- lol we used to get lamb choppies at school but m not altogether convinced they contained anything remotely related to lamb.
Oldladyknowsnothing- you now have me drooling at the thought of chippy sauce! You can make it yourself by adding HP to vinegar but it's never quite the same!

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 22/11/2010 00:23

LetThereBeRock, I would have totally agreed with you until I met Edinburgh chippy brown sauce. That's just another experience.

Bellagio, I'm lucky enough that DS1 (grownup) was through in Edinburgh recently, and brought me back the Genuine Article. I have tried so many combinations of brown sauce and vinegar, can never get it right. Grin

They used to do deep fried Mars bars by my school in Liverpool. They are delicious!

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 22/11/2010 08:31

Climbs back into bed for an extra kip and to dream about deep fried heaven mars bars!

I was about to write word for word what BaroqueAroundTheClock posted at Sun 21-Nov-10 23:29:54!!

I was in Edinbugh for the Fringe and got pestered. I was quite self righteous saying ' no it's ok boys I won't bother' but ended up 'sharing' theirs! (i.e. half from each of them = a whole one for me!!)

JennyPiccolo · 22/11/2010 09:56

i had a haggis supper the other night, and irn bru from a glass bottle, icy cold.

Feel sorry for the English sometimes. And other nations that don't deep fry

JennyPiccolo · 22/11/2010 09:56

don't deep fry haggis.

sockmonkey · 22/11/2010 10:02

I had one. It was lovely, but left a film of fat in my mouth that lasted all day.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 22/11/2010 14:40

lol upahill - they sound so revolting, but then when I saw them tucking in I just couldn't resisit.

Am off up to Edinburgh in 2 weeks - might have to buy myself a whole one Blush
