Scottish chef creates ‘battered butter delicacy’

We all love a calorific snack now and again, but one Scottish chef may well have created the most fatty dish in history.

Head chef at The Fiddler's Elbow Simon Robertson has invented a meal consisting of frozen butter balls that are dipped in a batter made using Irn Bru before being deep fried.

And those fond of a wee nip now and again may wish to try another version of the delicacy, which includes a batter that has been made using whisky.

Oliver Scott, who runs the eatery, said: "It might not be too nutritious but it's definitely delicious."

Who knows, perhaps after a couple of festive beverages in the next few days, I'll be craving a battered butter ball myself?

This week, a so-called magnetic man from Georgia left onlookers in awe as he balanced 50 metal spoons on his chest.

Elbar Elchyev claims he is after a world record.
