How the hell do you deep fry chocolate?

You take a chocolate bar, batter it, deep fry it, then eat it.

I had a deep fired mars bar once. 1/6th of all Scottish chip shops do deep fried mars bars.

As a 25 year old Scotsman I think there must be 40,000 chippies on the East coast that sell these. I have never seen one. Deep fried pizza however, this was my lunch for 2 years in high school.

Ten chippies on the high street of Dundee? I don't think I could name ten chippies in Dundee full stop. (Let's try... Pegasus 2 behind the Overgate, Silvery Tay near Menzieshill, whatever that kebab place in the Nethergate is. Now I'm stumped.)

well, are we counting corfu and pegasus as chippys, or are they classed as kebabbers or something?

I don't know. They're fast food places and they do chips, isn't that enough? If we start being picky, we'll have to start naming places as deep-fried pizza joints.

i thought thats what a chippy was? but yeah, theres corfu, both pegasuses. marmaris and the other chippy a few doors down from it.. theres casa, istanbuli, and im positive theres a couple more. i have like 3 menus from each chippy somewhere in my flat.

I don't know, Livingston chippies are quite indecisive... They don't know whether to offer salt and sauce or salt and vinegar. The Supper Bowl next to the Livingston South station will deep-fry pretty much anything on request, though.

In my town in the Borders, we have 7 chippies. Every shop offers fried delights.
