Mars disowns the deep-fried Mars bar | Life and style | guardian.co.uk

Is this the end of civilisation as we know it, Jim ? Mars Foods wants to promote healthy foods !

I wonder how many of his customers - or converts throughout Scotland - this guy has killed with his cuisinary delight ?

Can anyone tell us what it tastes like ?

Tenez! Now that Quebec has just elected a premier from the Parti Quebecois, I suppose the ba' is burst. Scotland will have to yield first place from Deep Fried Mars Bar to the coming new block buster, Le Mars Bar a la Poutine.

Tastes nice, but couldn't eat too many in one go. The concept isn't that far removed from a banana fritter with chocolate and caramel.

I thought the geographical restriction was to protect oneself from copiers...

Who else, exactly, is trying to pass off deep-fried Mars bars? I cannot recall anyone ever trying to copy any Jock so-called 'food'.

...and now, Raymond Blanc serves up asparagus spears in hollandaise sauce, boeuf en croute, deep-fried Mars bars, all washed down with 10 pints of Tennant's Lager....

Deep Fried Mars (R) - Makes You Work, Cardiac Arrest and then no more play? (Or Foreplay?)

Lon More

Talk about grim death



Reminds me of my Aunt Jean's chippie in Haddington back in the 1950s.

As if a Mars bar without batter is healthy?

Maybe not Big T, but I have led a sheltered life and never come across that either.

The Scots have now moved on - they have Braveheart Butter Bombs....

Can't quite understand how one bites though it - doesn't the wrapper get in the wayt?

Cooked them as a pudding for a "Burns Night" type dinner. We only did a third of a bar per person, and it was plenty. As one who doesn't normally eat puddings or sweets, I thought they were lovely, a bit gooey and perhaps too sweet, but I wouldn't rush to have another.

Tried one - dosey f*wit who fried it must've done it in the same shortening as they'd fried everything else 'cause the fecking thing tasted of fish!!!

Can you imagine? Fish-flavoured melted chocolate and caramel, in batter...



Don't touch the things whatever you do - pure f*ing evil!!!

jabird

Would work, cardiac arrest and RIP be better then?

AlpineSkier

Maybe we have the ultimate answer from the very fount of Scottishnees - rab-k himself

DThanks rab, that's another millenium of Her Majesty cemented in-place.

Strangest thing is, the only place I ever saw which had them abominations on sale was in Feltham.........

I guess I went to the more "discerning" chippies back in Jockistan........

I was in a cafe in Glasgow and saw someone eating one at breakfast time. It was as much as I could not to throw up my tea.

Just think that every time you eat one you're not helping the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and every time you're sick after eating a deep fried one, you're giving vent to your democratic human right to express how one Quaker's desire for philanthropy and charity in York can become twisted into another's Milky Way all over the place.

Krystal n chips

Think about this one then. Deep fried Mars bar with chips as a starter and then, for dessert ( one is being porsh here of course ) you partake of a doughnut sold in St Andrews (mwah !) which, if you finish it, will finish you...well in the not too distant future that is.

One tried a small portion and even that was filling....one came to the rapid conclusion said otherwise excellent bakery either had shares in / or owned the local undertakers with this doughnut seen as a ready source of custom.

A deep fried Mars swamped in coffee ice cream must be absolutely delicious.

Cut out the middleman - deep fry Scotsmen.
