SUPER CORN DOGS fries Mars Bars to order
The Ex Hound loves to eat and try new foods. Since last year’s Ex, my niece has suggested that I try a deep fried Mars Bar. So, one morning this week, almost as soon as the Food Building opened, I found a stall that prepares one of the Ex’s newer creations.
To my surprise, the chocolate bars are stored in their wrapper until someone orders one; however, someone has previously skewered them. When the cook is ready to make one, she grabs the skewer, pulls the wrapping off, and dips the Mars Bar into a bucket of batter. Then she slides the bar, stick side up, into a loop that holds it properly in the deep fat fryer until the batter is golden brown.
Sometimes things can go wrong. The batter might not fully cover the chocolate, or the batter slips off, causing the uninsulated chocolate to liquefy. Or the bar can fall and sink into the fat completely, only to float back to the surface about an hour later, according to Cheyenne the cook.
After it’s drained, I let it cool for a minute before eating. It is slightly crisp on the outside and as I bite down part of the semi-liquid chocolaty centre rushes into my mouth. After a second bite, the caramel kicks in. The taste reminds me of chocolate chip pancakes, except chocolate coats the whole inside of mouth. MMMMM. Glad to see that the risk to my arteries for years to come was worth it.
