Mars has come out in criticism of the Scottish trend for deep frying things as, apparently, Because obviously a non-deep fried Mars bar is a valid addition to a healthy, active lifestyle. Does anyone else get fed up with the rubbish that big business is allowed to get away with in the name of 'healthy eating'?! It's gobsmackingly frightening that they can say some of the stuff they come out with. I have no problem with sweets, chocolate and cake etc, but to imply that these things are 'healthy' is a joke! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-19487149
LOL! I suspect that the PR person who came out with this statement might be from Mars (in all ways)...
Banning the great Scottish National delicacy, from a land of such great cullinary traditions like the Haggis - you can get a deep-fried Haggis at just about any chippie - so why not the deep-fried MarsBar?
Maybe I lead a sheltered life but I've never seen anywhere deep fry a mars bar in Scotland. Now that haggis supper on the last train home from Glasgow after a night out with the lads is a different matter. mmmmm
I have managed for quite some time, to stay well clear of deep fried Haggis, Black Pudding, White Pudding, Sausage, Chip Steak suppers and various other produce of the humble chippie, bar the very occasional chip roll or fish supper.
I didn't realise deep-fried Mars Bar was a Scottish delicacy?! They'll do them here in Birmingham too, you just have to provide your own frozen Mars Bar....
I found deep fried Mars bars in chippies all over the north of England also, so it's not just a Scottish thing, my biggest gripe with northern chippies? They had no clue what a saveloy was!!!
Not long back, I went into a chippy in Newcastle and asked for a battered sausage. The guy looked at me like I was insane!!
When I was on holiday in the UK a few weeks ago my first meal when I landed was battered sausage, chips and Yorkshire Caviar
I think it's usually a mix of sauces, so ketchup and mayo, or mayo and American mustard and the like. I'm thinking along the lines of 'burger sauce' for chips. Unless it's curry sauce? As in the sauce you get from a chippy?
A (battered) mars a day helps you clog your arteries, double your weight, rot your teath, shock your mates, scares your doctor, oh yeah and helps you work rest and play!
whats next the pie companies complaining about a pie in a barm cake? mind you they do battered chips around here.
