Deep Fried Mars Bar: The tastiest heart stopper on earth, or is it?

Monday, June 6, 2011 0 comments
OK, I admit, some comfort foods are just wrong. But in what way?

Taste? No, this one is glorious, hot, melty, battered, chocolaty yuminess!

Expensive? Well its just a $3.00 chocolate bar dipped in batter and deep fried.

Healthy? Hmmmm OK!
Like so many comfort foods, this has to be eaten in moderation, perhaps even, extreme moderation!

So why does it give many healthy eating experts the same result they say you'll get if you eat it...a heart attack!

"Morrison and Petticrew surveyed around 300 Scottish fast food restaurants that sell Britain's most popular meal: fish and chips (fries). They found 22 percent of these "chip shops" also served deep-fried Mars bars (a Milky Way in the U.S.). Each contains more than 420 calories."
According to http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/12/1227_041227_deep_fried_mars_bars.html

So how many calories does a Mars Bar contain, when it's not deep fried?

Calories in 100g of Mars Bar = 448.0 cals!
According to http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/calories/calorie_counter/chocolate_sweets.htm

So, what can you conclude from this?

Enjoy all things in moderation of course and really don't take what you find online for granted.

If you like it..enjoy it..just do it in moderation.

Fries and Icecream: The hot and cold of it

Having done some research on this, both in reality and on the interweb, I have come to the conclusion that this might be the most common "weird" food combination in the world that does not include mayo or peanut butter (more on those two wonderful ingredients to come).

The dividing factor is not only the flavour, vanilla or chocolate, but icecream or shake?

Personally i prefer neither but others I know swear by strawberry shakes and sometimes McDonalds soft serve!
