ANd to Lois, and anyone else going to Wales, pizza is not exactly their national dish, so goodness knows what they do with it! There is good food there, if you choose right, as in any country.
Welsh pizza has to be better than some Scottish pizza though- it has been known for Scottish chippies to fry a pizza


Battered and fried Mars bars seems fine but frying pizza is almost as bad as cola added to beer

Heart attacks waiting to happen with both of those


Fortunately my partner who's Scottish eats a lot healthier than that.

I've never tried battered marsbars, i know they sell it in new zeland, but not over in Australia!
Fried Pizza? Ew yuck! I remember going up to scotland in 2003 to see my grandmother and my aunty microwaved chips and pizza, they were both so yuckky and soggy!

At one county fair I had a deep fried twinkie-my arteries probably hardened on contact!! And to make you feel better a brewery in Wisconsin is brewing a shandy and I've had quite a few so far since they were introduced!

Oh well not everyone has the same taste but COLA BEER ROCKS!!

Come on guys its just like a Shandy (lemonade and Beer) Whats the difference?


Yes these are really good friends, and they have helped me alot through everything in the past few months since ive met them, I'm making them roast with all the trimmings this weekend
as a thank you!

And youre all invited
A Shandy (German: Radler; according to my late father: "sissy beer") tastes good, but Erik (our 19-year-old nephew) is currenty into "Cola-Weizen", meaning cola and white beer, and nobody in the family can stomach that. Oh, well. I'd rather see him drink that mixture than the current favorite among my students: Red Bull and vodka!

My DH loves Scotch Eggs - can't see why for the life of me, but they are not the easiest thing to come by here.
