Have you ever eaten a deep fried Mars Bar?

Okay - hands up, I haven't.
But I was reading another thread and it got me thinking.
I love sweet things and am wondering if I should add this to my 2022 bucket list!
Have you tried one? If so a) did you enjoy it? b) did you eat a whole one? and c) would you recommend it for me to try?
Sorry, too many questions Blush

I moved to Scotland for two years in 2005, I went into the fish and chip shop and asked for one thinking it was a big thing up there. He looked at me and said 'it's only southerners that think we eat those things lol' he made it, I tried it. Was sick that evening 😆

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/12/2021 21:28

It’s on my list too. Likewise deep fried pickles.

I had deep fried pizza once. Not what you asked but thought I’d share anyway.

Sparklfairy · 11/12/2021 21:28

Well I've always wanted to try one but now @flamedancer has put me right off Grin

CiaoForDiNiaoSaur · 11/12/2021 21:29

Yes.
No.
Yes.

The first time I had one wasn't in Scotland either. I didnt know until recently that it was apparently a "Scottish thing"

BrilloSolar · 11/12/2021 21:29

Yes a) yes b) no c) yes

Did it as a tourist 'we must do this' when visited Edinburgh about 10 years ago. We just got one between 4 of us I think. It was a lovely sweet gooey mess. I enjoyed it as I like sweet things. Remember thinking that I don't know if I could eat a whole one to myself. Haven't had one since, or really thought about it until now, so it can't have been too amazing!

SisterAgatha · 11/12/2021 21:29

No. And this is outing but I once deep dried a Colin the Caterpillar just for the laughs. I imagined it might be the same? It was horrid.

Clevs · 11/12/2021 21:30

I've had one on a couple of occasions and love them 😋

Papergirl1968 · 11/12/2021 21:30

I had one once, on holiday to Northumberland, I think it was. Didn't look appetizing - like deep fried poo! Grin But it tasted good!

stripetop · 11/12/2021 21:32

Like @AnneLovesGilbert pizza yes. Goodness that take me back, absolutely amazing, mars bar no, just because it's not a local thing as others have said.

ShatteredDream · 11/12/2021 21:38

Yes, I’m Scottish and ate them as a teenager. Wouldn’t eat one now though 🤢

Deep fried pizza suppers with loads of chippy sauce are the food of gods though, still my go to chippy order

Patty101 · 11/12/2021 21:39

I have. It was unbelievably good. Gooey and warm and melty and just bloody lovely.
But I was convinced I was going to die the night I'd eaten it. I was having palpitations and hot sweats. Pretty sure that was my body's way of telling me to never eat one again. But my god, it was good!

tiredanddangerous · 11/12/2021 21:40

No. Can't get them round here!

Guttedbuyer · 11/12/2021 21:41

LOVE them

SillyLittleBiscuit · 11/12/2021 21:41

Yes, I’ve tried one and my answers to a, b and c are a definite no.

LER83 · 11/12/2021 21:43

I've eaten a deep fried snickers bar. It was amazing and I ate the whole thing easily! This was down south at my local chippy, a good few years ago though. Might actually look up if they still do them!

AmyDeirdre · 11/12/2021 21:45

Yes, and (a) No (b) No (c) Why not? Seriously sweet tho. We made them at home, never again

Jessicabrassica · 11/12/2021 21:46

I had a deep fried biscuit boost. That was good. It was also 25 years ago and I've not felt the need to repeat it. I do remember it being good. I think a Mars bar might be quite icky though.

User00000000 · 11/12/2021 21:48

Yes, I had one as a teenager. I remember it being nice but quite sickly - and I am someone with a very sweet tooth.

Wombat69 · 11/12/2021 21:51

Once as a birthday treat.

Bloody lovely.

Nigella does a deepfried Bounty bar, that would be good.

Narwhalsh · 11/12/2021 21:51

Yes and from the apparent birthplace of them!

Much better than battered pizza

mydogisthebest · 11/12/2021 21:51

I have tried one. Only had one bite and that was more than enough. It was disgusting

OnlyHereForTheClothes · 11/12/2021 21:52

I've had a bit of one a few times. Never eaten a whole one. They are a bit like a very greasy, chocolate pancake. I've eaten worse things... Grin

Yutes · 11/12/2021 21:57

Had one as a dessert in a Scottish/Thai fusion place.
It’s nice but is not like the best thing ever

Have a brownie or something instead

hilbil21 · 11/12/2021 21:59

No but I have eaten a deep fried creme egg and the chocolate was about 1000 times hotter than the batter and burnt my tongue lol

Shade17 · 11/12/2021 22:01

Done it at home, and a bounty. Fucking amazing!
