Hmmm. What to have for dinner?

Haggis or deep-fried Mars bar?

Haggis or deep-fried Mars bar?

Decisions, decisions....

A man eats a deep-fried Mars bar in Australia. Dipped in batter and then cooked in hot oil, the Mars bar is now on sale in more than a fifth of Scotland's 627 fish-and-chip shops according to a letter published in The Lancet(AFP/File/William West)

I love the Mars bar, I also like deep-fried food. This would unite both of my likes.

I'd like to try it, but I wonder if I would live.

I believe that the deep fried Twinkie got its start in Scotland as well.

I've served those for desert after deep frying a turkey. I'll have to give the Mars bar a shot next time.

If I were doing an international expansion planning at Krispy Kreme, I think Scotland would have just jumped to the top of the list...

Good king Wenceslas looked down
on the feast of Stephen.

And saw the Mars bars now were all
"deep and crisp and eaten."

I do hope that that wasn't a slight at the wonderful haggis.

The mere thought of a deep-fried mars bar has always made me feel queasy; I was at university in Scotland and they had the confectionary lined up in a couple of the fish-shops.

Haggis, on the other hand, is glorious.
