well yes of course it wasn't really a 'wake' in the true sense...i call it that to convey the idea of it, you know. no offense meant!

i haven't had a deep fried mars bar but i tried a snickers once...

our fish and chip shop does em... We used to dare eachother in highschool to eat one- but we always chickened out.

I would like to try one.

I'd try a bite.

wow. ok, so i picked a bad time to join the fforum, as the night i did so was the night i left for a very long, long, family vacation. *shudder* then i get back and life kicks into overdrive, leaving no room for sleep, let alone posting...thanks for the welcome basket...i think. i'll try to be around from now on. here's hoping i'm a worthwhile addition and not just a pie target for disgusted veterans

no worries bear5 and happy belated birthday! the veterans are, in general, quite nice and cuddly. sometimes they have pointy sticks, but they rarely poke one, except in fun.

mmmmmm vacation pie......... :)~~~~~~~

Wouldn't vacation pie just be crust, as the filling has all gone off to for'n parts?

Or maybe it would be something tepid and trying to crawl away from you, that you get in some god-awful service station at four in the morning, when you briefly take a break from driving, because there is still a way to go...

...and then when you get there, they have no reservation by that name...

There is a pub/resteraunt along the road from me on the West Highland Way (some of you may have heard of it? I seem to meet people from many different places walking it including a guy from New Mexico that was extremly surprised that I had heard of it AND knew it had the same currency as the rest of the states!) It does really quite good food including deep fried mars bars! I recomend the chicken stuffed with haggis and the chocolate fudge cake.

Does it come with a side order of coronary disease?

Chupaqueso.... mmmmm.....

Nah, the coronary disease is an optional topping! Sadly a lot of people take it as we are the official sick man of Europe!

Wouldn't the fudge melt?

At the Puyallup fair they started selling deep fried twinkies a few years ago. The next year they added several different candy bars and last year they sold deep fried coca-cola. I have not tried any of these, saving myself for the scones, but have met several people who have. They were still walking around and speaking, so it must not be too dangerous.

My son wants to try haggis, or says he does. But I am not making it, so I told him to wait until we go to Scotland.

I recently had deep-fried olives...
they where the black kind, but personally I think if your going to deep-fry anything it should be salty to begin with...I think deep-fried green olives would have tasted better.

I think it had cheese in it too.

They do deep fried Mars bars at places in Adelaide as well. When I come back from the next appointment at the diabetes clinic I may have one, that is, if the pie cart (which is an institution in Adelaide its located outside the GPO after about 7pm Mon - Thurs and earlier I think Friday Sat and I don't know about Sundays.) doesn't block the way.

Adelaide pie floater is a bowl of thick pea soup with a Balfours meat pie floating in it. Pie is optionally covered with tomato sauce. I have swum with sharks, walked through Brixton alone at 2am, and been a crash truck driver and general unhitcher of crashes but as yet I cannot bring myself to close acquaitance with a pie floater.

BK you mentioned that Melbourne doesn't have pie floaters - that one thing in its favour.

Hi, 5thbear!
How's it going?

I'd have thought so-
can we get some chocolate fudge cake before they put in the haggis?


Now fried olives- they kind of melt away, too
& all you're left with is olive oil & cheese
which just melts in your mouth...

The only thing that beats batter-fried is fried batter-
funnel cake, anyone?

I still stand by my fried porridge. Goes B**dy well with plum sauce.
