I used to go to the local chip shop for my lunch (I know....healthy!) in the mid nineties or earlier. I would order Chips and Curry sauce (I know..I know) my close pal would order Sausage supper and some of my collegues would order deep fried mars bars. This quickly became a fad and the mars bars were being swapped for bounties, wispas, twix and chomps. they were dipped in batter and cooked in chip fat. They were then drizzled with salt and vinegar.
The main guzzlers of this delicacy was the vast amounts of secondary school (high school) kids who would flock to the chip shops everyday for their lunch.
At present, I know of just one chip shop in these towns that still serves this stuff but the chip shop was never very good anyway so I dont see why their deep fried mars bars would be any better than their awful fish and chips. I could however go and get pictures of the sign that I am reliably told still hangs inside the shop, which says "We serve deep fried Mars Bars"
How about that for a debunked urban legend? The legend was that they were not real and were....an urban legend! It is that myth that I can debunk and so can 3000 ex-students from kilwinning!!
P.S I have still managed to prevent one from passing my lips. Everyone always looked as if they enjoyed them and they ordered them time and time again. They also...dont laugh.....they also smelled great!!
