Milky Lane in Bondi has a history of deep frying food for the sake of experimentation. This year as a special Easter present for its fans they have come up with a new concoction: deep fried Creme egg. Lovingly coated in Crunchy Nut Cornflakes mixed with the gooey innards of the egg, the deep fried delicacy looks like a large chicken nugget as it is served with a Nutella dipping sauce. Not content with just deep frying, they also have invented awesome looking drinks.

    This ain't news in Scotland where chip shops have been deep frying everything (whether it moves or not) for donkeys years - the deep fried Mars Bar is so last century.

    See eg. this article from 2014, clearly referencing creme egg being offered: https://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/chip-shop-sells-deep-fried-yule-logs-as-xmas-treat-1-3638409 [scotsman.com]

    In fact, as a word of advice, do NOT ask for anything in a Scottish chip shop unless you want it dunked in batter and fried - pizza, pies, haggis (quite nice actually), Mars Bar, anything.

    The only thing they won't deep fry is a can of drink, and that's only because they haven't figured out how yet - if someone invented deep fried Irn Bru the enitre Scottish economy would crash for buying it inside a week.

    Fried pizza sounds good, minus the batter.

      Oh, it is, especially on a cold December night after a pub crawl...back in my student days in the early 80's it used to be my second favourite thing from the chippie, beaten only by the Pakora and chips.

      I never really cared for the battered ones, most of the chippies in Dundee back then never bothered with it, the first battered one I ever came across was in Glasgow.

      I'm bloody hungry now...

        It's probably the best way to reheat cold pizza. Quicker than an oven, tastier than a microwave.

    Well, it looks like it's your turn for your side of the world to catch up, as state and county fairs have been deep frying just about everything in the U.S., including soft drinks [wikipedia.org] for many years too.

    Yes, it's not quite a pure fried drink, but deep fried Coke won awards for fair food when introduced in Texas over a decade ago. Basically, you make some fried dough using the drink in question as the liquid for the dough, the pour some concentrated syrup (as used for fountain drinks) over the finished fried dough balls. You could certainly do this for Irn Bru just as people have done with Coke.

    Irn-Bru... Good stuff if you haven't tried it, but expensive in the states. I'd say it tastes like Juicy Fruit bubble gum with orange soda mixed in. And not overly sweet like most sodas.
