Deep fried Mars bar anyone?
I have had 1 in my life. The chip shop nr my school used to sell them(myth they invented them). They are exactly as u imagine. Messy, sweet and u can just about rely on it to triple your calorie intake for the day.
The shop was in Scotland
I tried one once. It was quite nice actually but a bit too rich to make a habbit of eating them.
Hi,
Had one about 10 years ago, levels of intoxication I am sure made it taste better than it was, hot, sticky and very sweet, lots of fat and sugar.
I had seen them advertised in quite a few chippies and thought I had to give it a go, I remember they offered to deep fry anything else if I felt the urge !! Maybe I should have tried a Topic.
I also have to say this was in Scotland and there seemed to be a bit of shameful pride in this local delicacy.
I also remember when microwaves came out and were putting in all sorts of confectionery but many burn't mouths seemed to put an end to that.
Confession over.
not one person who I know or have ever talked to knows what a deep fried mars bar is
I would have though they could hazard a guess 
Son No1 lives in Aberdeen and numeous fish & chip outlets near him sell them - I did read somewhere that they were more common in the University areas presumably as it is assumed students will eat anything 
A chipper (the Carron i think) in Stonehaven, just north of Montrose and about the same distance south of Aberdeen claims to be the birthplace of the deep fried Mars Bar.
When i was back in the UK, living in Stonehaven as it happened, my visiting American stepson, then variously 11 to 13 years old, loved them.
Apparently there's a secret to the successful preparation of a deep fried Mars Bar - take the wrapper off first.
Oops, double post
ops:
Lol, indeed. I said that all wrong. What I meant to say was no one I knew had ever tried one. (maybe late on and tired at time of writing?)
I wouldn't fancy eating one as it would be gooey and sticky and oily... meh :(
I thought that until I tried one. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be.
If you put them in the deep freeze (or at least the fridge) for a few hours before you dip them in batter and fry them they don't go all gooey.
Deep fried pies were an experience not often repeated when I first moved to Aberfreeze in 1990, don't even get me started on deep fried pizza....
