You really should be "fried" for that one...
Given this is Scotland that should actually be Deep-fried with batter and Irn-Bru!
Deep-fried Mars bars are not an urban myth

Initially the fresh and exciting cuisine of Scotland was welcomed, with parades in the street to praise battered fish, fried potato and tandoori haggis...
But the mood soon soured, as local Chaat sellers were bankrupted by Scotlands' aggressive haggis street stalls....
An alliance to shatter world affairs..... Really hope it drags England back into another war with France, always costs them both loads but they get nowhere
Indeed, have just colonised Arica on the coast just south of the remaining Incas, need to build it up so it can supply an army, but then....
Midge: If you don't continue this in Vicky I will be extremely upset!
Dont yet own Vicky, but may have to....
It seems Haggis will just never be popular....
I never would have thought of Scottish troops in India. They accomplished something even the great Greeks under Alexander could never do. It must be something in the whiskey.

Haggis is indeed one of the most superior foods to have ever been invented, in the realm of culinary offence the Scots these days rise to new heights with the deep-friend haggis pizza, but can we please divert any further discussion of Haggis to OT.
Many thanks

Corsica (1622-1623)
Corsica (1622-1623)
Fresh from his victory against Vijayanagar the Scottish King, John II, looked closer to home for his next conquest. During the decade before 1620 the small island nation of Corsica had been an ally of Castille, protected by her overlordship. In 1620 Corsica had begun a war of aggression against Venice and Sicilly, but Castille – weary after years of war against the English – declined to support her small ally. This left Corsica dangerously exposed, as her navy was slowly destroyed by Venetian galleons. But Venice and Sicily were unable, despite several invasion attempts, to conquer Corsica. She remained weak and virtually defenceless. John II ordered half of the Scottish navy to return from Asia, bringing an invasion fleet. On 2 November 1622, after laying claim to Corsican territory, the Scottish declared war. This was Scotland’s first open declaration of war against a fellow Catholic nation in over a century. Priests across the empire raised petitions and protested against the loss of Catholic lives that war would involve, and John II saw several advisers and courtiers resign.
Days later 6,000 Scottish troops landed in Corsica under the command of Glen Macgregor and quickly annihilated the Corsican Royal Army, besieging her capital.
After 7 months of siege the Corsican fortress was finally overcome on 5 July 1623, her King abdicated and Scotland annexed a new land. John II now had a useful new base for further Scottish expansion in Southern Europe and North Africa.

Neat little chapter. Had forgotten about this AAR again. Hopefully nothing wrong and back to the usual update speed?
