Leeds takeaway shares hilarious order from Scottish man who 'can't be caught eating veg'

A takeaway customer asked for no salad on his burger because he's Scottish - and feared he'd have his passport revoked if he was caught 'eating veg'.

The unnamed hungry customer ordered an Epic Fried Chicken and Beef Burger from takeaway Farsley Fire and Smoke in Leeds and added a special requirement asking for no salad.

In a hilarious note on the order, the customer asked: "No salad. I'm Scottish, they'll revoke my passport if they catch me eating vegetables."

The customer had ordered the £14 behemoth burger, which combines a beef patty and a fried chicken breast in a sesame seed bun, served with salad including tomato, onion and lettuce.

But the Caledonian customer put in a special request that the burger came without the salad garnish as it wouldn't have been appreciated by his compatriots. Saying: "No salad. I'm Scottish, they'll revoke my passport if they catch me eating vegetables."

The takeaway shared the unusual request on social media, prompting hundreds of likes.

One Facebook user quipped: "I’m more impressed you extracted £14 from a Scotsman for a burger."

Another questioned: "Scottish yet no Irn Bru?!"

Takeaway boss Ashley Turner said: "Respecting cultural values is really important for us.

"If a Scotsman wants no salad then we do all we can to ensure he leaves one happy and satisfied Scotsman.

"It would cause is great sadness if we led to his passport being revoked over a delicious burger."
