The things that you can get in batter boggle the very mind.
Like battered mushy-peas. Or battered Cadbury's Creme Eggs. Or battered hamburgers. And we're talking seriously nasty hamburgers here, even without the battering.
I'll still never forget the time I bought something which was described as a 'battered scallop' - expecting some sort of seafoody treat. Turned out that a battered scallop is chip-shop parlance for a battered deep-fried slice of potato.
Never underestimate just how much the Brits will fuck with their food.

I used to work in a fish-and-chip shop.
