397457 2005-10-20 07:48:00 Why worry about "is it bad for me"?
Eat what you enjoy.
90% of my cooking is done in the frying pan, with butter or fat. None of this fancy oil stuff. When I was a boy olive oil was a medicine.

PS the other 10% is done in the microwave.

397458 2005-10-20 22:01:00 Tried a deep fried moro bar several years ago - as has been said, both delicious and deadly at the same time. Deep-fried ice-cream is also a must - can be found at most Denny's restaurants, last time I checked. Also, deep-fried banana (great with whipped cream).

Got a deep-fryer from a friend a few years back and decided to experiment a bit. Results below:

8.00pm - Deep-fried Pinky(tm) Bar: Nice and gooey, but not enough consistency - fell apart upon exit from fryer
8.30pm - Deep-fried Caramello Bar: Very rich and chocolatey, but lost form due to excessive heat.
9.00pm - Deep-fried Crunchie(tm) Bar: Too hard

9.08pm - By this stage, too sick to carry on, and haven't been game to attempt further experiments.

Conclusion: Moro/Mars bar best bar to fry, held together by caramel/fudge quality.

397459 2005-10-20 22:06:00 Lizard, did you chill the choco bars first?
I presume you didnt and it went all floppy or you left the choco in the fryer too long.

397460 2005-10-20 22:47:00 Chilled first, but probably guilty of the second. It was many years ago, and am now repenting for my sins with a gym membership. The temptation never dies, though... (sigh)

397461 2005-10-21 04:31:00 Evidently deep fried battered Mars bars are very popular in Scotland, and have been for some years. I have been told that the Scots are quite partial to deep fried battered food (well, you need lots of fat in a cold climate), and that you can even buy deep fried pizzas in Scotland.

Now I can sort of understand deep fried battered Mars bars, but deep fried pizzas? :waughh:

397463 2005-10-21 04:38:00 Actually it is stuff the haggis with porridge and then deep fry that using whiskey :p Jen (38)
397464 2005-10-21 04:42:00 Deep fried porridge, deep fried haggis, deep fried whisky ...?

I think the idea is that eating deep fried battered food puts a non absorbent layer on the stomach so you can drink more malt without falling over too soon. Yum.

Och aye the noo.
