Deep Fried Mars Bars

Saiyanthou · 8 Jun 2010 at 15:21

As a Scotsman I would just to like to state that this is not the national dish. I'm getting fed up of being asked about this immediately after discovery of my being Scottish. The deep fried Mars bar was a fad that a few places still do for tourists.

So if you can pass this on that would be lovely!

Thanks for the info.

But are they nice?

Is it because Mars have plastered their bars with England flags?

You'd need to catch it first and trying that while wearing a kilt isn't an easy task.

This thread could offer some hilarity.

Continue.

I didn't like it when I tried them. I'm not a sweet tooth though, would have preferred battered haggis.

Anyway, isnt the new national dish the Munchy Box with cheese?

Deap fried Mars bars are a cheap alternative to haggis.

Deep fried mars bar used to be the Scottish national dish, but has now been replaced by the Munchy Box.

I think it was about 15-20 years ago that the Deep Fried Mars Bar was invented, I tried a few but they're pretty sick.

Most of us have moved on to Deep Fried Methadone.

I love deep fried mars bars, it's not strictly a northern thing, most of the chippys round here (The dodgey ones who do really bad quality kebabs, chicken and pizza as well) do them.

I'm hungry!

They aren't as bad as you expect though, are they?
I had one a few years ago, and surprisingly good.

What other novelty deep fried things can you get?

Most chipshops near me will batter anything.

And I mean ANYTHING. 'Batter this toy car will you?'

Only because you have moved on to deep fried pizzas instead.

I saw chip shops deep frying creme eggs last easter.

Creme Eggs were popular for a while. Kebabs and Pizzas are de rigueur for your aspiring jakey-about-town these days.
