...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Nutritionists have winced for years at the Mars chocolate bars being covered in batter and deep fried in fish and chip (french fries) shops in Scotland - particularly in Glasgow. But now a four-star restaurant in Edinburgh has put its own version of deep-fried Mars Bars on the menu as a delicacy - and it is proving to be popular. The chef at Channings Restaurant had been challenged to come up with a novel dessert for a VIP Burns Supper earlier this year. He covers the chocolate bar in filot pastry and then fries it like a spring roll, serving it with a sorbet flavoured with Irn-Bru or whisky. Nobody has counted the number of calories in each of his creations but everyone who tries it says it tastes delicious!
