North's Maple Syrup Flavored Non-Alliterative Random Banter #95 Eh?

[EmeraldRose]

I have rediscovered a love of Milky Way bars lately...now if only they were dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate...

[Serpentine]

Because my edit will have been lost on the last page...
Huh. Looks like deep fried Mars Bars are actually a distinctly not American thing... I'm sure I've heard of something similar, though.

...it's called a Milky Way Midnight.

[EmeraldRose]

...it's called a Milky Way Midnight.

Aren't those the ones that are dark chocolate with mint? Because that's not what I want...

[SweetLikeLemons]

According to a Globe Trekker episode I saw, deep-fried Mars Bars are a Scottish thing. Eaten with ketchup. So apparently not all obscenely fattening food comes from the USA.

[Serpentine]

Here's a site that expains the UK and US differences between Mars Bars.

What the hell? Why would you wreck something like that with ketchup?

Should use hot fudge, or caramel, or warm peanut butter, or ... or.... I mean anything but ketchup!

[wadledo]

Is the mainland really that obese?
Cause as far as I've seen, most news tends to exaggerate that to a scary degree.

I don't believe there's any mint in there...but I could be wrong.

@ RandomLogic: How about cream cheese? >.>

It's true Did Dave Grohl skull beer? Cuz he did in Sydney

Re: American food, I'd say... doughnuts, "freedom fries", that sandwich that Elvis liked, and deep fried Mars Bars.

Well he did say in an interview that he hadn't done a show sober in 15 years, so one would assume....

On the topic of British food, if any of you are ever in New York City there is a magnificent fish and chips place called "A Salt and Battery", which is also the best resteraunt name ever.

[EmeraldRose]

Heh...from what I've heard about the Minnesota State Fair, you can get just about any food fried and on a stick.

(ie..key lime pie on a stick)

[Alarra]

key lime pie on a stick sounds really darn good.

[Jack Squat]

yeah, Milky Way Midnites are Dark Chocolate, caramel, and a marshmellow-y type filling.

*drools*

...great, now I want some.

[Serpentine]

Speaking of food, I made some really tasty pasta last night. It was a sauce made of cream, chicken breast (chopped), mushrooms (sliced), parmesan cheese and salt and pepper on a big flat pasta starting with "p" that I can't remember the name of (kinda like fettacini, but a lot bigger). I just finished the leftovers then... Mmmmm.

[Haruki-kun]

I grew up on Milky Ways. I love them both, Normal and Midnight.

It was years before we got Midnight here, but when we did...... O.O

Man, I want some now....

[wadledo]

Weird, I just had one of those spontaneous happy moments.

Which is odd, as I have to write an English paper in 20 minutes if I want to get any sleep tonight.

Was nice.

[Timaoh]

I was looking at various wrappers of what i thought were all chocolate bars tonight and to my suprise i discovered that 90% aren't even chocolate bars but are variations of waffer bars, candy bars, energy bars, etc. Did you guys know that a 'Mars bar' is considered an energy bar?

How's a Mars bar an energy bar? I know it's basically the same as our Milky Way...and those aren't near considered energy bars.

Well...there are some Snickers infused with ginseng, but not the point.

[InaVegt]

Unless your milky way is very different from our milky way, not they're not all that similar. Mars is for the most part burned sugar, milky way is for the most part some sort of cream.

[Raiser Blade]

I would take snickers over milky ways any day.

[Shadow]

The best candy bar ever made.
By far.

The link I posted before compares Milky Ways, as well.

Deep fried Pizza!

So, so true. I could eat those things every day and still love them.

Also, for awhile Snickers were marketed as a sort of energy bar. Something about all those peanuts giving you the energy to win the World Cup. Really that seems unnecessary to me. Their tastiness is enough to win my 85 cents. Well, as long as there are no Take 5s in the same supermarket checkout aisle, anyway.

Yeah, I seem to rmember that commercials about World Cup. And I agree with you, Snickers has great taste, probably my favourite. Twist and Milky way are also good, but Snickers is the best.

[Hell Puppi]

I have to go with the Zero Bar, me thinks...

mmmm...zero bar....

I shall run that Marathon despite your snickers.
