So, what's in "King(s) Rib"?

I saw a cooking/eating show and they were in Scotland. They stopped by a chip shop and had deep fried Haggis and a King(s) Rib. I know what Haggis is, but what's in the other.

Sure I could google it, but what's the fun in that?:banghead:

 

The ultimate in greasy fried snacks available from british "chippies" or chip shops; A chopped and shaped pork patty flavoured with either barbeque or chinese seasoning, doused in batter then deep fried. Mmmmmm heart attacks never tasted so good !

 

never heard of those, despite living in England for 4 years!

Then again, I don't have the money to buy junk food, nor do I eat skanky fried crap off the street. Thankfully I enjoy cooking and I ve been quite succesful with it so far!

that said, I yearn some Cantonese right now!

 

Screw you.. now I want Cantonese too.

 

Who says only Americans eat garbage.

Blagh

 

Don't worry mate. I lived in England for 22 years and I'd never heared of them. the Scotish fry EVERYTHING ! I even read once that they serve deep fried Mars Bars h:

Yakumo

 

Limed for great justice

 

Sounds like something Homer Simpson would eat.

MMMMM...deep fried chocolate bars...*drools*

I don't know, just did a quick google and I think it looks REALLY good.

Heh. I remember there actually being a episode were he eat fudge covered bacon :lol:

 

I can't remember what cartoon it was, but I remember seeing one where this character wanted EVERYTHING he ate to be deep fried.

I remember there also being a deep fried hamburger sandwich on a stick in Spongebob. With a mayonaise drink.:lol:

 

It's instant fat-inducing meat fodder for drunken Brits winding their slow, grumbly way home on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday night/morning.

As to what is in it? That depends on the particular "poissons et frite boutique" in question. Dog a la tripe, cat melange, dead vagrant in batter - who knows?

I would never eat meat from a chip shop. It's cheap, nasty & tends to be processed to the point of being 1% genuine meat, 50% balls, lips, bum and 49% wheat / corn / oats. Pour batter / sauce on it, fry it to near nuclear temperatures and let it soak in the lard of life itself. Serve to drunk people and watch them 'enjoy' your cuisine efforts by immediately evacuating their stomach contents around the town centre.

What a life it must be for a chipshop owner. It's actually some kind of sick performance art. You can just imagine them at large 'Chip Emporium' conferences discussing the finer points of their trade.

Motto of the chip shop: "Always ready to serve a ned"

 

Its mostly the Scottish that come up with weird deep fried combinations. Deep fried mars bar for instance. King Rib is probably a deep fried rib or rib with some chinese flavouring. Or it could be a massive rib, its hard to tell as different places have different names for things.

Anyway it could be worse, it could be a Parmo.

 

Yeah it's considered a great honor to be fried instead of cremated in certain parts of Britain. :lol:

 

The worst has GOT to be deep fried Cream Eggs. Can you imagine? They already turn you into a raving loon with the amount of sugar in them. Give a kid one and;

A) He'd go hyper because of the sugar content
B) Because of the fat content he'd not be able to move from the spot

It would be a fat limb lump going bezerk!

They actually do them? :noooo:
Can't imagine anything worse, that must be so sickly!

Thing is, I can imagine that being quite nice as it wouldn't be overly sickly as I imagine most of the flavours would be individually pretty bland....

 

Thanks guys! The replies made my day.:thumbsup:

I thought it was just mystery meat deep fried and it seems I was right.

Another show with foods from Ireland was pretty nasty too. One dish was lambs blood and a variety of internal organ meats stuffed in to a lambs bladder and deep fried. Said he uses the bladder for the flavor the uric acid adds to it. I'd rather eat the deep fried candy bar.

 

Holy cow, something (sort) of funny from Saturday Night Live. The end is near, the end is near!

 

As stated before its nothing to do with English chippys its all north of the boarder. Along with King ribs they also gave us deep fried pizza too. Mind the further south you it gets just a bad - savolys (sp) sausages which taste and look like they still have the plastic wrapper on. Thus concluding that all the best chippys are infact in Manchester. lol

 

I find that the best chippys are in/around Halifax. Here in Sheffield you get great chips at some places, but everything else is a bit crap.

Agreed on the savloy sausages - those things are rank.
