Denver Meetup Photos, yay!! →[More:]

i think i missed shouting out way more people than scody... um, like shane, ferinstance.

so if i forgot you, believe me, it was not on purpose. we drank a lot... make that a LOT of beer on friday night. and i kept getting sidetracked in the midst of writing down shoutouts, cos the chat was so intriguing, i didn't want to miss anyone's crazy stories.

nails the cat apparently *really did* eat a whole deepfried pizza in scotland. he said it was really really gross.

personally i can't quite believe reflection was still coherent on the bus trip back, cos that boy got thru at least a half dozent pints and probably more. and those were not mellow beers we were drinking either. but he's young and resilient.

eek, we truly missed you dude. you'd better come to the next one or i'll ride my bike out to golden and drag your ass there.

check it out. fieldtrip's gonna put more up, and i'm pretty sure there will be some of me on that stream.

laters!

I tried to eat a deep fried pizza when I lived in Scotland. I was *very* drunk at the time and, for the first few minutes, it really tasted gorgeous. After that, it started going downhill rapidly. I couldn't finish it - nails the cat must have no taste buds and a cast iron stomach.

Of all the places to find deep fried pizza. Scotland. That's kind of wierd. I imagine making it taste good would be better accomplished in texas, land of the deep fried.

puke & cry: according to nails the cat (gareth) Scotland is the epicentre of all things deepfried. in fact, the whole story of the deepfried pizza was that he'd been in scotland for six days, and was looking for something that was NOT deepfried, because he was afraid he might melt or explode or something.

well they get to this pub and see 'pizza' on the chalkboard, and gareth was like ZOMG!! PIZZA!! MUST HAVE SOME!!

so he orders one... and watched in horror as the bartender pulls an entire frozen pizza out of the chiller, unwraps it, and drops it in the deep fryer.

ew.

TPS, we did, indeed, have a fabulous time. my SO even showed up for a quick pint :]

*wishes she had a deep-fryer big enough to fit a pizza*

There are places in Scotland where you can get reasonable pizzas. Chip shops and pubs are not good places to begin your search though.

The deep fried "pizzas" are not what a Napoletano or a New Yorker would recognize. A large (way too thick and about nine inches in diameter) lump of dough with a smear of tomato puree and a few shreds of cheese is not a pizza. They are folded in half, dipped in batter, and fried. So who knows, youngergirl44, maybe you do have a big enough deep-fryer.

That deep fried pizza sounds a little like zeppoli... mmm, zeppoli. I am fond of Scottish eggs (i.e., a hard boiled egg surrounded by sausage, dipped in crumbs and deep fried). They take a week to digest, but they're delish.

(thanks for the shout out, by the by! : )

Fear not! I'm thinking of a jaunt back to the whole NoCo/SoWy ancestral homeland this summer, so mayhaps there'll be a Denver meetup in my own future.

Pips, it was the discussion of 'scotch eggs' that started the whole 'what have you eaten deepfried' tale that culminated in nails' horrifyingly disturbingly hilarious deepfried pizza story.

well that and the fact that reflection kept ordering ginormous piles of fries. i can't remember how many piles of fries we got thru but it was lots. they were the Best. Pubfries. EVAR. gloriously fat, dark golden brown, salty, REAL (never been frozen) crispy honest-to-god potato fries, doused in malt vinegar.

scody you'll have to let us know when you're coming. the dudes are already buzzing about when we should do the next meetup.
