QotD: Scotland

The Scots have a fondness for deep-fried foods. Everything from fish n' chips to Mars bars. A survey of shops said customers also request deep fried sweets, pineapple rings, and even ice cream. The health authorities are naturally somewhat concerned about this diet, but Dr. David Morrison of the Greater Glasgow Health Service Board is encouraged by "evidence of the penetrance of the Mediterranean diet into Scotland, albeit in the form of deep-fried pizza."
