Jock pies were a staple part of the diet when I was growing up, at home they were oven heated and the lid filled with hot baked beans as a favourite.
With a "bulwark" of mashed potato to allow for more beans, I trust.
Chip shops in my part of the world didn't just do fish and pies, we had a whole selection of meals including scampi, fish cakes, puddings (black, white, red and haggis), sausages (including saveloy which foreign) and pizza, all of which were deep fried.
Deep fried white pudding - absolute bliss, immortalised to the tune of "Blaze Away!" in the words of the song, well, some of them:
"When all of a sudden a great mealy puddin' came flying through the air..."
