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?
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
