Deep-Fried Chocolate Sandwich Sells Like Hotcakes

LONDON (Reuters) - Chocoholics seeking to indulge their passion this Easter will appreciate a British hotel chain's diet-busting chocolate sandwich, which boasts the added attraction of being dipped in batter and deep-fried.

Ramada Jarvis introduced the delicacy last month and said on Wednesday the calorie-heavy dish had become the fastest selling dessert on its menu.

"We were surprised it has become so popular, although it is very tasty," said the chain's director of food and beverages Debbie Walter.

The sandwich is particularly popular in Scotland, traditional birthplace of the mother of all deep-fried desserts, the battered Mars bar.

Mindful that Britain, along with other Western countries, faces an increasing problem of obesity the hotel chain also offers less fattening desserts.

"The chocolate sandwich is not something if you are on a serious calorie-controlled diet, but we do offer alternatives," said Walter. Ramada Jarvis has 65 hotels in Britain, but only 36 currently offer the waist-expanding dessert.

of course this is Britain. of COURSE.

That sounds really good.

omg The Dope has the munchies!!!

 

[mindspell]

deep fried mars bar!

 

[lizard]

this is in actuality really good because Europeans are always criticizing how fat Americans are but they are clearly trying to catch up.

 

[The Dope]

I would seriously eat that if I could find one around here. I wonder if I could just make one myself?

I try to eat at least 3 servings of dessert per day.

 

[lizard]

I don't see why you couldn't...I wonder what kind of batter it is.

 

[The Dope]

Yeah, maybe I can find a recipe somewhere. Although I can barely open a can of soup, so it might prove to be a challenge for me.

well, remember the French scientists from a couple of days ago who sheepishly admitted that Big Macs were healthier than many favourite French foods?

 

[minxnim]

that scientist was a total retard also.
this sandwich is crazy that's like chocolate tempura. that's so gross.
i'd be afraid to leave the dope alone with a deep fryer.
they deep fry candy bars in most diners in texas i have been around. and down south. and twinkies. and ice cream. (aka fried ice cream)

 

[minxnim]

also, i heard on the radio that this sandwich has over 1,000 calories.

p.s. the last 6 british people i've met here in new york have all been fatties with fuzzy teeth.

The Dope and I go down to the dining hall and he eats a bowl of whipped cream topped jello and 3 slices of pie. He's 6'7" and weighs only 200 pounds. Hate him!

 

[The Dope]

Only if it's either key lime, lemon chess, or cheesecake. Otherwise I'll have like 1 slice.

 

[lizard]

!!!!!!!!!
seriously guys, if you could perfect this recipe you would be scoring fat chicks by the dozen.

 

[The Dope]

Umm, I'll let Nilsy here get on that right away then.

 

[0sm0se]

I'd like to reference a previously posted picture stating that fat chicks give better head because they are hungry. Also, as previously stated by yours truly, ugly girls do ugly things. I'd like to attribute that quote to the father of a friend of mine who told us that when we were 10.

fried ice cream is a curse from the durned Chinee.
