I've been cracking up over the British food posts!  Very educational, 
too!  (But when discussing cheese, no one mentioned "Wensleydale." 
LOL!)  This has been reminding me of when I saw Billy Connolly on 
either Letterman or Carson years ago, and he was describing returning 
to Scotland for the first time in years.  He'd grown quite used to 
American food and was having a difficult time finding anything to eat 
in Scotland, until he came to a roadside eatery with a large sign 
saying "PIZZA."  He was thrilled!  Then he went inside, saw nothing 
but deep-fat fryers and a girl throwing more chips, fish, chicken and 
so forth into the fryers.  He shrugged and decided the sign must be 
outdated, so he asked her whether they still served pizza.  She 
assured him that pizza was available, so he ordered one.  He watched 
in horror as she removed a small disk from the freezer that could 
have been a pizza in a former life and then THREW IT INTO THE DEEP 
FAT FRYER with the fish and chips!

Ah--pizza Scottish-style!
