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!
