#1 I've always said that there's no food so delicious that it can't be made better by deep-frying. Leave it to the Scots to prove it! I see these things at the state fair every year, but so far I haven't had the stones to try one. The pizza has to be about trying to p*ss people off, though.

#2 I remember hearing last year, a feature on one of the NPR news and commentary shows about deep fried cheesecake. For your artery-clogging pleasure, pieces of cheesecake were frozen, and wrapped in a couple of layers of phyllo dough, and deep-friend. A chef who had come up with the idea did a demo for the reporter, who taste-tested it, and insisted that it was actually very, very good.

#3 The Scots (and Scots Irish) deep fry everything. See Albion's Seed. Yes, everything you need to know is in that book.

I would bet the coefficient of correlation for turkey deep frier sales and Scots Irish population density in America is .95.

#4 If you can't boil it, deep fry it!

#6 If it's properly deep-fried at the proper temperature, the food doesn't absorb the oil.

I think the Food Police are just whining again.
