Scotland is famed for many things – stunning landscapes, orange fizzy drinks and whiskey to name a few.

But I think one of the most-loved and appreciated delicacies to have made its way past the borders is their brash willingness to deep fry anything and everything that comes within an inch of the chip pan. Scotland sticks two fingers up at cholesterol with a boldness that is almost admirable. Heart attacks can do one in the northern land. If they want to deep fry seven portions of carbs then they’ll do it without any questions asked.
And while we might have adopted the stoner’s dream ‘Battered Mars Bar’, we’re still in the minor leagues when it comes to deep fat frying. There’s probably not one menu item that these guys won’t attempt to cover in batter and obliterate in a chip pan full of oil. Good on to them – the poor man’s Tempura is their national dish and it’s something to be proud of.
So, in homage to this movement, we’ve decided to put a little quiz together for you. Below are ten deep fried Scottish delicacies and it’s your job to try and decipher what is what. Can you get all of them right? The answers are at the very bottom, but don’t peek before you’ve finished because cheating is for suckers. Here we go:
