Deep fried Mas bars.....

[ukbob]

As i sit in in my man cave i just pondered on this question...
Is it a myth or do people actually deep fry em?

I can clarify that they are definitely deep fried in batter. But I have not tried one....

 

[ukbob]

in batter....its wrong.
i wondered how the chocolate didn't melt..

yes, you can buy them and yes i have tried one, but never again, The dish originated at a chip shop in Scotland as a novelty item.

there is a chip shop, Park Slope Chip Shop in Brooklyn, New York that will deep fry anything, and i took a Mars bar

They do them at our local chippy that we use on Fridays at work. They are £1.50 each.

I once asked a chippy owner in Glasgow who on earth bought them. He told me that some locals had tried them when they were first a thing, but it was now only tourists, from south of the border and elsewhere, who ever asked for them.


(btw, can you still get deep fried Scotch Pies? I used to love them back in the day )

 

[turner brown]

I must admit when I was younger I used to eat the deep fried Scotch pies and pizza with irn bru.

Eating those pies in the street outside the chippy, with the fat dripping down your wrists.

You can't beat a healthy Scots diet!

 

[alimac]

ahh the good ol days thats the tea sorted i think

I have tried one and to be honest it was good, abit like a chocolate crispy doughnut their not on paper meant to go together. I'd compare it to pineapple on a pizza. I spent some time in Oz and in the Asian section sectors they deep fry quite alot of creepy crawly's. Some I tried some I just couldn't do.

That takes me back, used to buy one from chippy outside the school in Blackburn (the Susan Boyle one, not Lancashire, lol). IIRC they had a cut in them from centre outwards to allow the fat to ahem - enter the pie.

I could just eat one now, but I fear my arteries are clogging up just thinking about having one.
