The Hidden Glasgow Forums

i think they should have a section on chippie menus for just deep fried (or naked as the yanks say), then battered and deep fried.... i was astonished to learn that burgers and sausages could be done without the batter, suppose would be a bit difficult with the fish though.

Ive seen the pies dipped in batter and fried - now thats hardcore, screw my arteries west of scotland eating!!!

Although I must clear one thing up - deep fried pizza is only edible when battered! The batter stops the base getting greasy

Mmmmmmmmmmmm pizza crunch supper 8-p***

The only danger is you can't tell if there are mushrooms on the pizza til you bite into it. It's worth the risk though Pizza crunch and macaroni pies from Greggs are the first things I purchase when I get back to the homeland. And funny enough both are foodstuffs that my friends and colleagues here just cannot comprehend! It's their loss.

I was watching the guys making "Hoagies" the other night in our local take-away. The recipe was slightly different from the one on the menu earlier on this thread, but it can be basically summed up as "take the most unhealthy items you can find from every nationality, and mix them up"

The one I saw the other night was a "special order" from an inebriated chap - a chapati (I guess that's OK) containing chips, cheese, donner meat and curry sauce. And garlic mayonnaise.

The first time I saw a "Hoagy" on the menu, I didn't know what it was. I asked my mate, who said "I don't know either. But it sounds a bit like a Bogey". I've never tried one....

Isn't a hoagy a huge american sandwich?

The chapati sounds rancid- almost as rancid as the Manx delicacy of chips & cheese.....droon't in gravy

will that be with or without batter?

no one has mentioned the biggest artery buster of them all which i have seen tasted and did not like i think was done as a joke at some point and is now thought by other nations outside Scotland as one of our national dish which i don't believe most Scots have as part of the stable diet is the deep fried mars bar to sweet for my liking but being brought up in the west of Scotland most of my childhood take away meals were fried from local chip shop and probably only knew deep fried pizzas because there was no stone bake ovens then

I got mini spring rolls from the chippy at the Parkgate on Balgrayhill Rd which had been dipped in batter the cremated in pakora flavoured oil!! I think this was to hide the fact that the rolls had been cooked before I got them. I really need to stop going too take aways drunk all I seem to do is complain after the fact.

I lived in London for many years, and when I moved back to Glasgow, suddenly all the chippies were selling chips and cheese. I don't think I could ever face that, it sounds like a heart attack in a polystyrene container.

£3.80 Everest Tandoori, Garrioch Road, Maryhill. Delivery is £1.50 so I just go and collect it. Best to get it early in the evening though. Great with a can of your favourite bru, chips are a bit to rich for me though.

Highest life expectancy for any country in the world is Japan I believe. They eat loads of raw fish, rice and vegetables. Man, they just don’t have a clue!! Thank God I live in Glasgow.

Deep fried pizza is beyond my limits!
