Fried Mars Bars available at Flakey Jakes Fish shop, also chips and gravy. Well in Melbourne anyway.

I sooo miss mushy peas though!

First time I visited Sydney about 6 years ago, one of the chip shops on Bondi Beach was serving 'deep fried mars bars"

I doubt very much that your heart, waistline or BMI will miss them :scared:...fried mars bars ???!!?

Of course there is still plenty of rubbish fast food here to eat yourself into an early grave....you'll be fine...(!) :eek:

Hi John , well i always say, if your lifestyle is pubs on every corner or a local like corrie, then i dont think it will be the lifestyle for you, we socialise at home more over here, we go out as families for meals, but well you never know , it could be right for you, never know til you try it eh.

love to try the fried cream eggs sound good,
i think I'll suggest it to my chippy, if they make the mars bars why not the cream eggs.

i do go to the pubs and clubs but i am always the designated driver :(
