12/18/2004: Fried Mars bar a delicacy in Scotland
You take your standard Mars bar, you dip in it batter and then you deep fry it in hot oil. According to official wire service captions, the above delicacy is now widely available in Scottish fish-and-chip shops. |

And people make fun of Americans for our dietary choices.

They were selling deepfried cheeseburgers and deep fried banana pudding at the North Carolina State Fair this year. I've also seen deep fried oreos and moonpies. I refuse to try any of these deep fried "treats." While they eat a ton of deep fried food in the UK - including pizza - they walk a lot more than we do. It definitely makes up for it.

Deep fried Mars bar? That's disgusting.
Now a deep fried Snickers...yes, that would be a tasty treat. I read somewhere the Scots have the highest sugar consumption rate so this would compliment that nicely.

A Mars bar in Scotland is more like a Milky Way here, so I guess it would be like the Snickers without the nuts.

The Scots have the highest sugar consumption in the world? I'd expect the Israelis. At least the Orthodox Jews here have an incredibly high consumption of candy according to a friend who is a dentist in that community. (Most of it is pareve, so you don't have to wait hours after to eat your meat or dairy meal.) Or in Muslim lands where it is believed that sweet delicacies are a foretaste of Heaven. Couldn't find a percapita sugar consumption list, but Cuba was cited as one of the highest 60-80 kg/capita versus 30-40 here and other sugar-producing countries are higher than industrialized countries. |

Isn't there anything that is already deep-fried that could be modified in some way and then deep-fried again? That would be even more artery-clogging.

what about double batter dipped deep fried onion rings ... dip 'em fry 'em, redip 'em fry 'em again.
That could be the next big food trend. You heard it here first. We just have to decide on the secret blend of spices for the inner and outer coatings. Now I wish I had a deep fryer handy ...

I like the look on that guy's face. Absolutely priceless.
Ever tried yam fries before? You cover a chunk of yam in batter and fry it. Mmm... it's what got me to like eating yams in the first place. Last edited by YellowBolt; 12-19-2004 at 01:37 PM. |

Scotch eggs and corn fritters are food served in heaven. Oh yeah, baby.
You folks probably think that's weird, but most of you don't have scrapple.
