pie-eater 207 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I thought they were a myth. They aren't. Here's one found wandering around Scotland. I caught it and consumed. I am surprised to say that >>> it was delicious! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 They are no myth BUT are pretty rare. Any good chippy won't do them cos the chocolate ruins the oil. I tried it once, didn't like it. I think they are more common on the West coast of Scotland Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I can imagine it being nice. I like Mars Bars. I like batteted stuff after a night out. Link to post Share on other sites

foreversnow 5 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 On a health factor I think that rates up there with the Dagwood Dog and Deep Fried Pizza!!! Oh I have also seen Deep Fried Hamburger (guess where???) Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My friend recently got home from a Canada and USA tour - at a number of places she snapped pics of 'deep=fried' odditys. Deep Fried Cheesecake and Deep Fried Oreo's spring to mind. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I have also seen Deep Fried Hamburger (guess where???) I have eaten both a deep fried hamburger (not nice at all) and a deep fried pizza, I got through about half the pizza before my body rejected it and I threw it back up!! In Aviemore!! well prob cos it'll most likely be the ONLY chippy there so they don't care. In general good chippy's won't do em because they scew up the oil Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Aviemore, as I saw it, has 3 chippies. And as I said, the chips were great and there were tons of "awards" on the walls, so they seemed to be rather popular. Perhaps they had separate oil. I don't know. All I know is it was a good chippy. Don't mean to be argumentative Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 maybe its just that you haven't been to a good chippy! Whatever, all I'm saying is the myth that all Scottish chippy's do deep fried chocolate bars is just that.....a myth! Glad you enjoyed it though! Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 when holidaying in Scotland, Jerry Hall just finished with her mars bar, and Mick said "how am I gonna eat that, it's all messy" Jerry took it down the local chippie and had it coated in batter and fried. She took it back to Mick and he joyfully ate it. Back at the chippy, the first local customer came in for his fish n chips. "you wanna change that oil gov'nor, it smells mighty fishy" The frier replied "yeah, Jerry Hall just been in frying her mars bar" Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I wonder how that started. I'd like to try it myself, bet it tastes good. Melted mars bar with some warm milk mixed in is good. Smooth mars-y paste. Yum. Link to post Share on other sites
