Scottish man refused salad on takeaway fearing passport may be revoked if he 'eats veg'

A takeaway customer asked for his burger meal without salad, as he's Scottish and was worried his passport would be taken if he was caught "eating veg".

The unnamed hungry customer ordered an Epic Fried Chicken and Beef Burger from Farsley Fire and Smoke in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The huge £14 burger uses beef patty and a fried chicken breast in sesame seed bun, served with salad including tomato, onion and lettuce.

However, the Caledonian customer made a special request that the burger come without salad garnish, as it wouldn't have gone down well with his fellow Scotsmen.

In a hilarious note on the order, the customer asked: "No salad. I'm Scottish, they'll revoke my passport if they catch me eating vegetables."

The takeaway shared the unusual request on social media, prompting hundreds of likes.

One Facebook user quipped: "I’m more impressed you extracted £14 from a Scotsman for a burger."

Another questioned: "Scottish yet no Irn Bru?!"

Takeaway boss Ashley Turner said: "Respecting cultural values is really important for us.

"If a Scotsman wants no salad then we do all we can to ensure he leaves one happy and satisfied Scotsman.

"It would cause is great sadness if we led to his passport being revoked over a delicious burger."
