I saw a list of locations where deep-fried-marsbars are sold, my local fish and chipper sells them, Seafood Junction in Australia, Melbourne, Thornbury. I cant remember the streetname/address.My god! They sound disguisting! I have some questionsAre they sold in chip shops? Do posh resteraunts ever serve them?Are they eaten with a a fork and spoon or are they held in the hand?Does the mars bar melt completely?How popular are they, are they equally popular among old and young, black, white asian, rich, poor etc.Any idea of the date when they were first made?How much do they cost compared to a mars barAre they eaten plain or is anything put on them (sugar, cream, salt 'n vinegar ?)Are they eaten anywhere else in the world. Have the Scots exported the idea? Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 22:53, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)Answering some of my own questionsJust found this Well I never. Theresa Knott (The torn steak) 22:59, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)I noticed that the recipe only calls for one tablespoon of oil... Wouldn't deep frying a chocolate bar require a lot more oil, enough to completely submerge it? --Arteitle 09:54, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)I am neither a tourist nor a schoolboy, and I've eaten one. It was delicious, with salt and vinegar if I remember correctly. Mind you, I was rather drunk at the time ;) The chippie in question was one on High Street, Glasgow, near the student residences for Strathclyde University, quite near Glasgow Cathedral. -- CamTarnUgh. --AdamM 02:24, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)I too have eaten a deep-fried Mars bar, but in Wales rather than Scotland. This was a week's school (or rather, CCF) winter hill-walking trip in Snowdonia in December. After a day's slogging up and down Triffan (sp?) in the whirling snow, 3 million deep-fried calories sounded extremely welcome. I enjoyed it then, but I don't know if I would in any other situation.Oh, and I get the impression that they're a bit more common than John makes out.There's a shop in my town (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) which sells them year round, Pirate Chips. Not sure how common it is, but I assumed chip shops selling these things was common practice. I don't remember them selling deep fried twinkies, but I think they do sell deep fried Nanaimo bars. Also, they do taste suprisingly good. 207.216.254.191 09:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)I've tasted Battered Mars Bars in many places, Wales, Scotland and the midlands among a few. They're much more common than jstu in scotland. :) 86.21.58.156 10:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)Answers from an DutchieAs far as I know they're sold in chip shops. For the posh ones, see 8.Paper wrap with your hands. For the fork/knife see 8.Nope (at leat to my knowledge). At least in Holland, when the bar is dipped in egg yolk, the next step is to dip it in breadcrummbs.Really no idea.As far as my knowledge goes, beginning 1990s in Glasgow.£1.50 (fried); £0.99 (normal)Only breadcrumbs, sometimes the chocolate they use on ice.YES!!!!!!!!! You can also buy them in one (posh) restaurant in 's-Hertogenbosch. The cook got the idea after an holiday in .... Glasgow.Americans get to enjoy deep-fried Snickers bars, usually at fairs. RickK 08:41, May 29, 2005 (UTC)No foolin....I went to the fair and there was deep fried Snickers (which I actually thought were good *Is embarrassed*), Oreos, Twinkies, and all this other stuff I don't remember or care too. Wow. This is a bizzarre world we live in. :oP ---Teentitans!This should be moved to Deep fried Mars Bar with a capital B. Exploding Boy June 29, 2005 22:23 (UTC)I suspect John hasn't looked very far; deep fried mars bars are easily found in many chippies I know of, down south. They aren't advertised exactly any more (although they were a few years ago), but there is a standard price, and a stack of mars bars is kept below the counter :-) Yes, mostly they are popular with school children. People rarely eat many. 57.66.51.165 16:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)When I was at an English boarding school in the mid-90s, near Towcester, a chippy van used to come round every Wednesday and it did DFMBs. A stock of them was kept in the van and the school made no attempts to stop them being sold. Which was much appreciated as they banned almost everything else, including leaving the grounds without a teacher! Moyabrit 14:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
