IT might be a little bit early to start celebrating Easter, but that hasn’t stopped one chippy from getting the chocolate into the deep fat fryer.
Everyone in Scotland will have heard of a deep fried Mars bar, maybe even a deep fried Snickers, but this is the first The Jouker has seen of a deep fried Creme Egg.
Aldo’s Fish & Chips, based in Ayr, posted the bizarre creation on their Facebook page with the caption: “It’s back, deep fried Creme Egg! It’s only 81 days till Easter.”
One Facebook user seemed to capture the mood perfectly, saying they were “kinda intrigued, kinda grossed out”.
Another was keen to find out everyone else’s thoughts before taking a chance on the new delicacy, asking: “Who has tried these and is it good. I have loved creme eggs for 60 years at least.”
When the chippy launched the Creme Eggs last year, one person commented: "Oh no Aldo's you've done it now!!"
Deep frying food is of course nothing new, with Scottish Youtuber Darren “Dazza” Dowling dedicating an entire channel to the highly regarded culinary art form.
He runs a series called Does It Fry, with his last video seeing him deep fry a Five Guys wrap.
Other entries in the series have seen him discover what a Chinese takeaway, a Big Mac and a Pot Noodle look like when put in the fryer.
He once told the Scottish Sun: "Scots are known for their love of deep fried food - and I love batter. I've deep fried all sort of things and a lot haven't tasted great."
So what do you think, will you be devouring a deep fried creme egg this Easter or do you prefer it without the batter?
