YES! Let's have an etymology war over deep-fried Mars bars!
It is my impression, based on very limited research admittedly, that said
delicacy is mostly purchased by tourists. Its as symbolic of Scotland's
sense of humour as of its diet.

And how long have these been available in Scotland? They have been a
feature of the Minnesota State Fair since 1961.
Sorry.

The deep-fried mars bar in batter is, without doubt, Scotlands finest
export. Possibly. I've also heard of deep-fried pizzas as well. Only
exceeded by a russian delicacy, pig-fat in chocolate, yum.
