"Mars has written to the owners saying the product is not authorised or endorsed as it does not fit the company's promotion of healthy living."
I don't think LOL even begins to cover this statement.

When I went to the Magic Weekend in Edinburgh, the chip shop near the hotel was selling deep-fried pizza.
It looked alright though I didn't order one.

In an episode of 'No Reservations', Anthony Bourdain investigates the legend of the deep fried food stuffs. As well as the Mars Bar and Pizza, they break new ground by requesting a deep fried pickled egg.

There's a radio ad campaign at present for a well-known brand of chocolate spread that tries to position it as being a healthy eating choice, despite the spread being mostly made of vegetable oil and sugar. Incredible.
It's not a question of coming down to earth, Mr Duxbury. Some of us, Mr Duxbury, belong in the stars.

Apparently it's the deep fried Creme Egg that's guaranteed to napalm your tongue off and give you a coronary at the same time.

What you do is this right, ok, right?
You take a Mars Bar and deep fry it in batter. Then you put it in one of those chocolate fountain/waterfall gizmos and coat it in chocolate. Then into the freezer for a few hours THEN deep fry it in batter again. Then you put it in one of those chocolate fountain/waterfall gizmos and coat it in chocolate.

In Guernsey the school tuck shop sold deep fat fried Mars bars. They had NOTHING healthy though just chips, burgers etc and chocolate. I dread to think Jamie Oliver's reaction.

Our local chippy takes the deep-fried fish and chips, wraps them in paper, then puts them in a plastic carrier bag. They then add a bottle of Irn Bru, a couple of slices of bread and butter, tie the bag's handles together, dip the package in batter then deep-fry the ****in' lot!
Delicious!

I can tell you aren't a real Scot. You would have said a 'can of ginger' otherwise.

When we went up to Edinburgh for the CC final a good few years ago, one of the lads with us had a deep-fried/battered meat-pie.
