Never tried a fried mars bar - it was after my time - but I do remember things like deep fried pizza, deep fried haggis, deep fried pies .... do you see some sort of pattern here?

Re: Lunar Eclipse
The moon just turned a bit red didn't it or did I go out at the wrong time?
I mean I didn't see any sharp edged shadow from the earth moving across it's face. I kept on looking at the Milky Way as it was a lot more impressive.
Can anybody answer this question . . . why does the moon look so HUGE when it first appears over the horizon, it looked about 4 times the size as when it was high in the sky? I think it's something to do with the atmosphere.

Re: Lunar Eclipse
I havnt seen the deep fried mars bars on sale for a while now but yes, unbelievably, they did do it.
Something that might be friendlier on the ole teeth than frozen mars bars is the mars bar ice cream bar along with all the other sweets like bounty twix etc. they sell them as ice cream bars now too and they are a wee bit good
Im afraid im a bit of a chocoholic. Need to stop eating the damn stuff and maybe see my six pack again. lol (wife saw me typing this and walked away laughing, said only six pack i will see is from the offsales.beerstore)
She could be right

I think the trick is to actually have your eyes open.......

Well, when McGrouch first mentioned it....I really thought he was just teasing me......until I realized he was actually serious about it.....so we tried to get him to start the trend here and see what type of response he would get......but no takers I'm afraid.....
The trick is to eat the frozen mars bar with a coffee.....absolute afternoon delight......mars bars are so smooth that there's no chance of breaking a tooth....and so smooth going down......I had to hid the open bag of mars bars in the freezer so my husband won't find it.....he's not a choco and doesn't understand the frenzy I go through sometimes.....going to have to go out today and buy another bag as I think this one will be gone before the big day.

Re: Lunar Eclipse
What about deep fried Cadbury's Eggs ? or was that just in the North of England?
I remember whilst living in Lancashire, some friends from daan saarf visited, and were determined to try ones of the local "delicacies", a chip butty. You should have seen the disappointment on their faces when they got served LOL
"what you mean it's just chips in bread???"

Next you'll be telling me you don't get served curry sauce with your chip-shop chips in Canada too! What about mushy peas ?

We're just back from Scotland this week... already going through Haddock withdrawals.

As far as mushy peas.....well, only if you get a fork like my kids.....and mush them yourself.

Looks like I'm going to have to be sent food aid parcels !!
And you can't make mushy peas using a fork, here's how: http://www.wight.co.uk/food/recipes.99/11.99/
Nessie, I won't be missing Haggis, the only king of the puddin race I ever had exploded just as I was about to cook it. :scared:
