That looks delish!

SCOTCH EGG IS THE WONDER FOOD. ALL HAIL THE SCOTCH EGG!

HERESY!
Nobody speaks that way about Cheesecake and avoids the impending divine wrath!

They used to sell them in my school (I'm from Greater London but we still got them for some reason), and while I was so, SO intrigued, I never tried one...

...because I was afraid I might like it.

The very same reason why I haven't tried one.

That, and I'm afraid I might be violently ill.

Woah, woah, woah. Deep fried Mars Bars are incredibly delicious. The only thing that ruins the experience is knowing that you're shortening your life by several weeks just by touching the thing.

It is actually made of awesome.
The batter tastes like doughnuts, and the chocolate goes all melty and nice.

those Scots are some real health nuts...

So, the entirety of Scottish cuisine includes haggis and all sorts of food covered in batter?

They got to keep warm somehow! Scotland is terrifyingly far north.

That would be Mike Myers as Charlie MacKenzie, in "So I Married An Axe Murderer".

That's awesome. I actually live in Edinburgh. I bought a slice of deep fried pizza on accident on one of my first ever nights out here. Deep fried pizza is an extremely, inconceivably wrong thing. I threw it away.

My brother ate a deep fried Mars bar just the other day, though!

A 4 for the Scotch Whiskey Heritage center. That place is a trip.

OH GOD I HOPE SO

I would totally buy an achewood doll! They should put them in happy meals or something.

Yeah, but then you'd have to buy the food.

Come on Chris, you know that tomorow you wind up back at the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre.

I swear to god, I have a stuffed otter like that.

Battered mars bars are wonderful!!!
You must try them, but beware not to eat more than one or you WILL vomit!

I had half a deep-fried Snickers at the carnival, and I did vomit. That might have something more to do with the whirlwind trip on the Spider shortly afterwards. It is a mystery.

I have a feeling that the bar Phillipe is sitting on will not be sat on for much longer.

even better? i have a beanie baby...

[IMGS OFF]

Royal milf? I lived in Scotland and totally missed that... dang!

That's the Royal Mile, dude.
Although I imagine the royal milf might visit there at some point.

I'm Scottish and even I don't like the food over there

Your avatar wisely agrees.

a 4 simply because someone was telling me how fried chocolate bars are hot in scotland...and now i have ottery proof. i also find it hilarious that i live in the DEEP south, and had never heard of this particular fried atrocity.

HEY! I freakin'... LIVE here.

5.

It is worth noting that Mars Bars in the UK are not the old Mars Bars we used to get in the States. I believe the latter had almonds in them, among other differences (and I believe they stopped making them ages ago).

It's been a long time since I had one, but I believe Mars Bars in the UK are basically what we call Milky Ways in the US.

Why do we name so much candy after celestial objects?

Whoa whoa whoa! You call Mars bars Milky Ways?? But then what do you call Milky Ways? Because we have them, but they are like, very very light, fluffy vanilla flavoured... I dunno... whipped... nougat-like stuff... covered in milk chocolate.

That's right, it's all flooding back now. Milky Ways in the UK are Three Musketeers over here. We need a flow chart.

What the FUCK. Why can't you just call things by their right names.

I'm pretty sure these candy bars are all American products, in which case it is YOU who calls them by the wrong names. SO THERE

You guys keep this up and soticoto might show up.

Don't let that happen.

Oh fuck you're right. I feel like I've started some kind of demonic summoning spell, and now I can't undo it.

We were fools, and now we'll pay the price!

#1. A marathon is a kind of race, and not a chocolate bar.
#2. Heccibiggs was right about starting some kind of summoning spell, but not so much demonic. Think of a certain Tim Burton film staring Michael Keaton as a certain someone.
#3. Oaky started it, and Echidna there filled in the other 2/3rds.
#4. The cake is, indeed, a lie... and I do have a tendency to substitute letters in certain words. Well done Echidna. Chubb for you.

For the record, I've rather mellowed out since the last time I came posting through these parts... so... ^_^

Oh, and at last calculation hecci... I am geographically close to your position. Oh fun times!
*Grins widely*

Well, the answer is that the name of the family is "Mars". So naming their tasty snacks after spacey things just seems natural. What I never knew is that they came from Minnesota, like me.

Anyone else first read that sign as "Royal Milf"?

Someone did indeed

I...I want to go to the Scotch Heritage center.

It is like...the alcoholic's mecca!

As opposed to the actual Mecca, where you would likely be hard-pressed to find any alcoholics.
