PARIS (AFP) - The deep-fried Mars bar, a nutritionist's nightmare that surfaced in Scotland about a decade ago, is now an established part of the Scottish culinary scene, according to a letter published in The Lancet.

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, it says.

Health experts have condemned the deep-fried Mars bar as an artery-clogging catastrophe.


Scotland is already ranked as the country with the highest rate of chronic heart disease in Western Europe, a position that owes itself to cigarettes and alcohol as well as a poor diet and a love of sugary foods.


Pizza is one of several items that customers have asked shops to deep-fry, along with bananas, pineapple rings and creme eggs, a highly sweet confectionery.

1. They sell deep-fried candy bars at the Minnesota State Fair.

3 Musketeers, Snickers, and Milky Way. I always get a Milky Way - it's extraordinarily delicious, and I figure once a year, what the hey?

This year they also had deep-fried Oreos.
