Battered Mars Bars.

ARGINITE

Battered Mars Bars.
Does anybody know of any where you can get them in Galway?

po0k

make them yourself

ARGINITE

got any howto?

battered cream eggs:]

po0k

1. Make batter mix in bowl.
2. Heat up deep-fat fryer.
3. Drop Mars Bar (or Bounty) into batter mix.
4. Insert battered confectionary into fryer and cook until golden brown.



I'd imagine that's how you do it anyways

Gone West

does that chipper in mullingar still sell them?

ARGINITE

Seems easy enough.
Shall give it a try next time i get me hands on a deepfat fryer!

A deep fried battered mars bar contains 2500 calories, the recomended intake of a man in one day.

Your litteritly eating your days worth of fat and calories when you eat a batered marsbar. Also, Elvis loved to eat them... and the fat fub died pushing out a brownie on the jacks bowl.

Gone West

a days worth of fat and calories in one bar. reminds one of the simpsons!

Here lads, you know you gcan get them in good ol dirty dublin now. i spotted a chipper a week or two ago that seels them. I havent tried it yet though. Its at the bottom of o connell st across from the ambassador and the parnell monument. ye cant miss it. its the only chipper there.

and also, its not as simple as that to make a battered mars bar. its actuall difficult enough to make one. the batter bit is easy, its the cooking thats the tough part. Ye see you have to consider that it is chocolate that your cooking after all, and when chocolat it put in boilint hot oil it tended to melt. so you have to leave it in just long enough to cook it, but not melt the whole mars bar itself. Also, if it does melt, then you're going to get a whack of chocolat off of anything that you cook in it there after, unless you change the oil. So you see, its actually a toughie to make.

why would anyone want to do that!! its the chocolate that makes the bar, and it further complicates the battering. Fools i tell you, fools!!

I know you mean the city but in Gort Co.Galway. The kettle of fish in the square sell them. Fish is dear but good and it's home made chips.

You'll have to step over a few brazilians to get in as there everywhere there!

You beat me to it! Was just going to say Kettle of Fish in Gort, they do them for €1.60 and they did Creme Eggs around easter too. Have to say they're really nice and the fish and goujons are to die for after being on the beer! The guy who owns it is friendly too. I think the Brazilians prefer Supermacs

How does it provide 2,500 calories??? What changes during the frying process?

You'd need to eat A MegaMac meal, with a milkshake, a mcflurry and 2 apple pies at McDonalds to give you close to that amount of calories so this Mars Bar thing has me mystified.

I'd think the whole deep fried in grease part has something to do with it :):)

They should be battered.

Shanley

Kettle of fish (chipper from Gort) has opened across the road from busker brownes and has battered mars bars in stock

JIZZLORD

i forget. what street is buskers on?

cornbb

Cross St, between Neachtains and Supermacs. They do great chips in there, haven't tried the battered Mars Bar (yet!)

JIZZLORD

sitting in a practical in college at and i decided to leave it a bit early and seek these treats.

could probably have done with more batter

nice and melted

greasy

po0k

Score.

Sherifu

Looks like the business. :pac:

awhir

what would ya give it out of 10 ?

Robbo

I must sample this culinary delight.

JIZZLORD

i'd have given it 7/10. if it had more batter i'd have given it a 10

cornbb

It still looks like a regular solid mars bar in the middle.

Would they take a customised order I wonder? What I want is a battered sausage sandwich. Thats 2 battered sausages between 2 slices of bread and the whole lot is battered again. Its a recurring dirty thought of mine...

Edit: should that actually be described as a battered battered sausage sandwich?

JIZZLORD

it was very soft. the fuzzy mobile pic doesn't give it justice

I'd say it's the Scots, they batter pretty much everything. I had bangers, burgers, you name it, battered in Edinburgh.

s_carnage

biko you're probably right in saying that! I saw this tv show once that said scotland has the worst/unhealthiest national food in the world!
ie the majority of things that are served there are either fried or doused in grease!
my mate got beaten up there on new years, battered in edinburgh...:p

That is where I had my first battered mars bar.
The Scots would batter anything TBH.
