Best hangover cure in Scotland

Jan 1, 2020 8:28 PM

Contains various battered "deep fried" delights such as battered pizza, fish, onion rings, chicken nuggets, beef burgers, smoke sausages and king rib, served with chips of course.

Most viral edit: holy crap Imgur, thanks so much, I live in Edinburgh and though I wouldn't eat this by myself I have in fact tasted everything in a crunchy/munchie box and it's all amazing. Irn bru is the #1 drink in Scotland so if you get the chance to try some it's amazing.

Is it just me or does none of that look like it was fried long enough?

I'm going to guess it's bad lighting (cheap flourescent or LED lights with very little red color) and no adjustment by the photographer.

6 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

That's an educated guess, not a random one, based on the relative lack of redness *anywhere* in the picture and the very blueish whites.

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

If you get LED lights for your home, do yourself a favor and get "high CRI" ones that have a decent amount of red in them.

Pretty sure it's just a cheap pizza dipped in batter then deep fried. I speak of experience you then cover it in salt and vinegar

I’ve never had it folded it’s always a half pizza crunch just a pizza cut in half or a full pizza crunch. Never ever seen it folded!
