My local Chinese does Szechuan pigs ears as a starter, they're amazing 😍

Chicken korma pizza. It worked so well together.

I had it years ago when I was in Edinburgh, I really wish I could remember where exactly it was from.

Curry on Pizza is fairly easy to come across from most generic Kebab/Indian/Pizza jack of all trade takeaways in at least the decently populated areas of Scotland

Sometimes. I don't see it that often in Edinburgh if at all

Chicken Tikka pizza for me. Local student food curryhouse that decided to get a pizza oven.

Hull patties. Disgusting on paper, amazing in real life!

Isn't it just fried mashed potato with herbs? I wouldn't call that disgusting on paper, awful name though.

Lived in Yorkshire all my life and never heard of them. Next time I'm in Hull I'm going to go looking for some.

Omg just looked it up. Sounds incredible

Had some fried rice dish from a Chinese once that came topped with chicken, only the chicken was black. It' looked suspicious but it was the best chicken I've ever eaten before or since. I went there for a few years before it changed hands and the same dish changed to something totally different. No idea what it's called, how it's made, never seen it since. I yearn for the black chicken.

Weirdest Battered Mars Bar. I thought it would be vile, it wasnt that bad not amazing though.

Probably weirdest take away that was amazing was a spaghetti bolognese pizza - thought it would be awful but it was really nice (cant remember the shop though)

If you ever get the chance, ask them to batter a crunchie for you.

Sounds too sickly. A deep fried Snickers works better than a Mars bar because there's more structural integrity. But even so, half a one is probably plenty, even when it's pissing down at 4am and you've just finished working a show at the Fringe...

The honeycomb melts down to a gooey glorious centre though I agree lightly battering works better so you still get a bit of a crunch on the shell. Snickers didn't quite work for me. I've had in restaurants before (Mars Bars) - Oban Fish Bar and Olde Cheshire Cheese, London - served with ice cream to help cut the sweetness.

The best imo

Haggis pakora. Up in Glasgow. They were spot on!

[-]

Oh yeah I’ve tried those. Not a fan personally

On holiday I tried snake curry. Thought it was chicken, should have read the sign.

Surprisingly chicken like, but also, not really…

Also eaten frogs legs, bit nasty them.

Insects in Thailand, mostly just taste how fish food smells & whatever spice is put on them.
