  1. Many years ago there was a takeaway in Sunderland I used to use who would deepfry almost anything your brought in, *except* for Creme Eggs after they tried it once and it went off like a grenade in the fryer.

    A decent deep fried mars bar is an amazing thing. It’s basically a sort of melt in the middle chocolate pudding.

    They’re not even that unhealthy, no more than anything else coated in batter and fried, 230 calories for the mars bar and maybe 100 more for the batter/oil.

  2. Nice. Makes me proud to be Scottish. I had a deep fried lion bar once, that was good stuff.

  3. Lots of online advertising for the Dominoes version of the battered Cream Egg at present

  4. Funny, they do them in Cornwall too.

    Opposite ends of the UK, united by deep frying.

  5. Nothing surprises with those guys after I had a deep fried cheeseburger with haggis on it.

    And by deep fried, I mean the whole burger was assembled first (with buns, salad and sauce) *then* it was deep fried. It was an absolute state.

    I fucking loved it.

  6. “Almost a third of adults (32%) were living with obesity, the highest level recorded and an increase from 24% in 2003.”

    Huh, what a mystery, wonder how did this happen?

  7. £8 for 2 battered Mars bars is robbery. My chippy allows you to take your own chocolate in and they do it for £2 generally.

  8. Interesting idea for a challenge.

    “Puke or diabetes. The choice is yours.”

  9. 2 mars bars for 7.99. Even the expensive chippy near me only charges £2.50. The cheapest one is £1.

  10. They better be the best Mars bars in the world at that price.

  11. I remember as a kid a battered mars bar was £1, or 50p if you brought your own mars bar, I’m getting old

  12. I’m Scottish and don’t know a single person who’s had a deep fried Mars bar

    And btw £7.99 for two Mars bars??? Daylight fckn robbery

  13. Oh I had a deep fried Creme Egg nearly 20 years ago, nothing new there. Mars bars are OK but the creme egg was too much.
