I was watching "Nigella Bites" (she's so damn decadent) yesterday and she
was making battered, deep-fried Bounty bars (chocolate-covered coconut bars)--at
first I was like, "Eewwww" but now I can't...stop...thinking about them...

Reminds me of a littel chip shop in ......Dublin? Maybe London, but any way, deep
fried snickers bars! A friend insisted i try one and though initially dubious i
practically lived on deep fried snickers and warm beer.....bust have been
dublin....for a week. When i returned home to making other things dore or deep
fried i eventually weaned myself off deep fried candy bars but not untill i had
deep fried mounds, and mars bars and kit kats and...well you get the idea.

Yes, there's a fish and chip shop somewhere (could be Dublin like Joseph
said) and apparently they got sick of frying just fish and chips all the
time so they tried deep frying other things like chocolate bars, twinkies,
half moons, Joe Louis and the like. When they found that some of these
tasted pretty good they decided to add 'em to the menu.

I saw a thing about it on tv once.

It started a few years back in Glasgow with Mars Bars: you freeze them
first, batter them, and eat them while the outside if fit to burn a hole
in your tongue and the inside is still frozen!

They are one of my nations worst culinary inventions. The only thing I
can think of that's worse is the fried pie!

For years, my running joke was French-fried halvah. Finally, my wife
actually made some just to shut me up. For a while, it bacame a staple
delicacy. Who knew?

Fried pie?

Well, here in Texas (and much of the South in general it seems) if it is
small enough to be crammed into a fryer, it gets deep fried, so I'm surprised
I haven't seen anything like it here yet :)

They tend to deep-fry a lot of stuff at Iowa county fairs, for some reason. A
favorite is deep-fried Oreos.

What I want to try is deep-fried cheesecake.

There are these little mutton pies you get in Scotland, made with a hot
water crust... Chip shops heat them up by deep frying them, thus
creating the greasiest food in the known universe! BLEAH!

Merg,
Forget Nigella, who is the daughter of an ex 'fat-cat'! Get yourself a visit
to a 'Mars' factory that makes Bounty; The Slough factory used to, I don't
know if it still does.
Bounty.straight off the line doesn't need cooking, it is magic., moist and
goo-ey but not as sickly as the bar on sale in shops. It is indescribable.
