go to scotland and find out mate

They take big thick chocolate and caramel bars (callled MARS bars forgive patronising tone but im not sure if you have thos in canada or US)

SO anyway they take big candy bars dip them in Batter and deep fry them !!
For some reason every time some one mentions scotland to me i always get an image of this digusting food.

[RussianBeer]

Well.. thats sorta how you make donuts...

.. go to Macdonalds.. ask for a hamburger bun... deep fry it, and roll it in sugar..

tastes just like a donut :D

[mlk]

big black castles
loads of hills (no mountains no sir)

funky accent
edinburgh (try to pronounce that teh scottish way)
glasgow

[Coppertop]

ave: I've been 3 or 4 times to Scotland, and the Mars bars over there do not differ from those over here (Canada). As for deep frying - I have never seen that before.

bizzare one you are :crazy:

[ave]

i never said they did ?
I said that if you go into a fish and chip shop in scotland many places will serve Deep fried mars bars in savoury batter , jesus im not saying they eat their kids or anything !!

wish id never said anything now :h:

[McGiver]

haggis and kilts! :D

oh! In fish&chip shops. I thought you ment straight out of the packet. Now, never having ordered a mars bar at a fish and chips shop I believe that is fully possible, and yes, rather disgusting.

McGiver: I've tried haggis - it's awesome! It tastes kinda like meat loaf.

[[Legoman]]

well, I wouldn't say manyplaces serve that minging mars bar crap. In fact I've never seen it. I think it was a short-lived fad in Edinburgh, which most people thought was revolting. I'd be surprised if you could actually get it anywhere.

ps. I like haggis and do wear a kilt on occasion.(though I don't obsess about them)

[[Legoman]]

well fillip, since I know ya like detail, mostly I don't wear any, but when I do it must be silk or velvet. ;)

[Coppertop]

sweet jesus - I want to learn to play the bagpipes so badly, but they're so expensive.

[ave]

also whoever made that poll forgot good old "sean connery"

like making the 'wales' poll without tom jones....:crazy:

GOLF GOLF and more GOLF! It's the best

Had to vote for other.. being from Glasgow, when I think of Scotland, I think of Home..

Not a great fan of the shortrbread tin view of Scotland, but gotta say I do like the pipes 'n' most things tartan.. Haggis is fantastic too..

Coupla points though..

The ancestors stealing horses from Brits - the Scots are Brits, they would have been stealing from the English. Also if you wanna get more in depth, the "real" Britons (as in the race) are the Welsh and the Scots - the English are a strange mix of Norman French, Anglo Saxon, Viking and Germanic peoples who drove the original Britons from England into the mountains to the west (Wales) and the north (Scotland).. Do a google on the Kings of Strathclyde..

The Fried Mars Bar Debate - never been in a chippie in Glasgow or elsewhere that would make one (ruins the oil for the fish 'n' chips apparantly) and never met or heard of anyone who has tried one. But they do exist. Sounds like someone was on the sauce when they thought that one up..

And um, someone mentioned " hills - no mountains, none" or something like that.. well Scotland is packed full of mountains, you're thinking of England which doesn't have any mountains whatsoever. Oh, and Lakes in Scotland are called Lochs (with a soft "ch" not pronounced "Locks" like most English have the misfortune to say).. And while we're on the subject of pronunciation - a biggie is pronouncing Auld Lang Syne as Old Lang Zyne, there's no Z in there..

Um, so there's my moan out the way - apart from one more, Americans who call Scots, Scotch.. Scotch is the drink, Scots are the people.. ;P

[Jasninder]

everything; who doesn't love scotland, who...?
phrom guys who wear dresses and moon their enemies into submission. It always makes me misty when watching an old wwII phlick, that theres this british and american brigade somewhere in the desert and the scotts come to save them, and you know the scotts are coming well bephore they get there cause they are playing that scottish bagpipe song. misty I tell ya, makes me misty;

pj :P

i voted phor everything! :)


i would have said fat basturd, it says i have already voted..may be while i was sleeping with my legs up on monitor and mouse on my stomach in the chair:P cant really remember hahaa..anyway

Just so happy happy happy happy to see u phil :)

']A glasgow boy eh? I'm probably a half-hour on the bus away from you then, in East Kilbride.

Probably less, actually in Newton Mearns, so just down the road really...

And the Brit/Scot thingy Reland, no probs.. wasn't trying to kick up a fuss.. Just that so many folk assume that Britain means England, when it actually means the combined nations of Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.. I'm as much British as I am Scottish, but I'm definately not English :P

If you know wot I mean..

Which should tell you wot football team I support, Lego.. ;)
