I saw an article in the WSJ about 20 years ago claiming Glasgow, Scotland had the “unhealthiest” food.
Don’t particularly recall them saying it tasted bad, though.
The only specific item I remember was a “cannonball”, a hard-boiled egg wrapped in ground sausage and deep-fat-fried..

Fish & chips are particularly unhealthy. In my town (Kearny NJ) when I was growing up we had five different fish & chips places (and 2 pipe bands); now there is only one fish & chip place left. While it is fast food “over there”, here they were charging nearly $15 for a platter. For that much money you could get too many other things that tasted a lot better.
Thankfully Arthur Treachers is back around (they have apparently been aquired by Nathan’s - where you see a Nathan’s one section of the menu is dedicated to Arthur Treachers). They have the Union Jack on the menu, and the condiment pumps are ketchup, mustard (for the Nathan’s dogs), and tartar sauce...

Sounds good to me. Like state fair food
