Terry,
>The Scots have their own delicacy - deep-fried Mars Bars - in batter. You can get it in a "chippy".
I was just reading about those on the airplane flight Sunday night. I'm going to have to try one of those!
>By the way, we DO know what chilli is, you know! (hell we even have Mex-Tex restaurants).
Ummm that should be Tex-Mex restaurants. *L*
>I used to make it a lot, as a young-un, even sprinkling chilli powder on it as a condiment (when my guts were made of iron)

>Not sure we have any equivalent to the US stuff. There is "Toad-in-the-Hole" - sausages set in batter, like Yorkshire Pudding, cooked in the oven, then gravy poured over it. But I guess it's not too unhealthy.
Biscuits and sausage gravy is about the closest thing. It's big in the US south. It's a milk/flour based gravy made from the pan drippings left from frying the sausage. Then you break up the sausage and put it in the gravy abd pour it over the biscuits.
