The Baconator from Wendy's is pretty fearsome, and my friends have had this burger they serve at the University pub here named "The Homer". It's two beef patties (deep-fried!), mozzarella sticks (deep-fried!), onion rings (deep-fried)!, and pickles (deepfried!). They even had french fries with it. Horrible.Jared wrote:I wonder if I can convince the Chinese truck and the cheese steak truck across the street to join forces and make this thing. Though I think this is the first time I've ever been afraid of a sandwich.

Your average Glaswegian would regard that as part of a low fat diet.Airdog wrote:The Baconator from Wendy's is pretty fearsome, and my friends have had this burger they serve at the University pub here named "The Homer".

It's the only place that I've ever seen a chippy with deep-fried doner kebabs on the menu.
I'm thinking of putting one of those 'Infallible Ways to Make Shitloads of Money' guides on sale on e-Bay, but will let you all have a sample.
1. Train as a cardiologist.
2. Move to Glasgow (well, nearby)
3. Offer services to local NHS Trust
4. Hire accountant to look after your piles of cash.

I was in Edinbrough and had a taste of my very first deep fried snickers before it was popular at state fairs. It was my first and last taste of that.

So you didn't try the deep fried kebabs or the deep fried pizza ?
Lightweight.
Thereagain, knowing Edinburgh it would probably have been about £10 a slice for the pizza.

Yeah...it's pretty standard. In fact, lots of Indian lunch buffets tend to have this dish out as one of their staples.Airdog wrote:Can it be found at most Indian restaurants?

Chicken Tikka Masala is now Britain's national dish
I think it is pretty much the equivalent of this General Whatsit's chicken, ie something that no one from the community involved would recognise as having anything to do with their national cuisine.
Bit too mild for me though, but then Brits do like their curries at a strength that go beyond proper Indian cooking, which may be something to do with the consumption of the standard '8 pints of Stella Artois' starter.

Re: THE GENERAL COMPELS YOU
Watched this documentary last night on Netflix when I could not sleep. Pretty well done, and all I could think of was the DSP crew and the fact that I could not find a place in suburban Atlanta at 3:00am to go get me some General Tso's.
Enjoy!

Re: THE GENERAL COMPELS YOU
DChaps I just watched the documentary really interesting. I LOVE General Tso's chicken. Thanks for the heads up.
Re: THE GENERAL COMPELS YOU
Holy crap! I've just had dinner of the finest General Tso's I've ever had....and it wasn't at a restaurant. It was a cook at home kit, from some company called InnovASIAN. MY, MY...

This forum is the only reason I ever tried General Tso Chicken. Now it is a staple.

There are three guarantees in life: Death, taxes and Dave Tyrrell shredding any praise-filled post of mine on Facebook about Oasis.
