Battered Mars Bar in Dublin

nialldinho · 11-08-2005 9:39am #1

I know the Seashell off Pearse St does them but does anyone know of any other chippers in Dublin (south) that does them?

I love them but having to trek into town every time I feel like one always puts me off.

Any half decent chippers will do them for you, should be able to get icecream in batter too (****ing lovely)

I've asked in a couple of places before but none of them did it. Most disappointing.

Bring your own Mars Bar and ask them to batter it for you!

Or alternatively just inject pure lard into your arterties.

Don't consider it a trek consider it penance to your body for what you're about to do to it.

I hear that the Borza in Bluebell do them. I've been meaning to go there to try one for ages. Are they worth it? I'm going mad to taste one.

There's a chipper just off Capel Street that does them, although why you would want to drop this fat bomb on your system is beyond me.

i can feel my arteries hardening just reading this thread...:D

Yeah sure that's only - what 350g of pasta :P ffs. You might as well just put on a Rik Waller bodysuit if you're gonna eat this stuff regularly.

nialldinho · 12-08-2005 11:04am

I don't intend having them everyday! I know they're not exactly healthy and the couple of times I've had them it's pretty hard to finish them but they are SO good!

I barely even go to the chipper anyway but it would be nice to know that if I wanted one I could go somewhere nearby to get it.

friend and foe · 12-08-2005 3:57pm

last time i checked, the chipper in rathfarnham village did them... maybe we could get some for the pro evo tournoi tomorrow? huh? well? yeah, you know it!!

THEZAPPA · 12-08-2005 4:24pm

The Real B-man · 13-08-2005 12:52am

I hear the seashell does battered pineapple rings. Anyone tried them?

Everywhere does battered pineapple rings? They've been popular in our local chippers since the time when I used to eat chippers (5 years ago or so...)

THEZAPPA · 13-08-2005 7:49pm

i think ill have a battered mars tonight but im not sure!

MrJoeSoap · 13-08-2005 11:41pm

I'd do it, but only to try it. I wouldn't want to become a regular, its so unhealthy its untrue.

Bateman · 15-08-2005 2:49pm

The Borza on Whitehall Road (around the corner from the Submarine Bar) does them. I had one last week. Not my thing TBH...

letsdothis · 20-08-2015 8:37pm

Quite clearly these are unhealthy but is there reason why these have such a reputation for being especially unhealthy? Surely, for example, it's no worse than, say, battered cod and a mars bar afterwards??

K.Flyer · 20-08-2015 8:40pm

You do realise those posts are over ten years old!

letsdothis · 20-08-2015 8:44pm

Ha and yet still a burning question! Was discussing this IRL earlier so googled it and this thread seemed the ideal place to ask!

Die, zombie! Die!

Now stay dead.
