Goody! Maybe the food police ...

Can leave Americans alone for a bit and go harass the Scottish.

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.

The Los Angeles County Fair has its share of stands offering deep-fried Snickers Bars, but that's five weeks out of the year and, well, going to the fair means it is mandatory to eat things you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Personally I don't like much in the way of fried foods anyways, so my food sin is the homemade fudge.

Seems fondue is making a comeback and that 70's fad has now migrated to restaurants ... all that cheese, oil, and rich sauces. Nutrionists must be close to nervous breakdowns.
