Coffee Shots: Scottish Parliament reinvents the ‘deep-fried Mars Bar’

Who ever says that the Scots aren’t healthy needs to rethink their stereotyping. While Scotland may be famous for creating the culinary delicacy that is the deep-fried Mars Bar, under the SNP it has evolved into a ‘healthier’ version. Jim Murphy, who was ousted from his seat by the SNP, has been reacquainting himself with the national favourite in the Scottish Parliament. Alas instead of being deep-fried it is now just wrapped in pastry. However, this change to the recipe still appears to mean that the pudding has too many calories to mention:

Mr S commends Parliament for doing their bit in combatting the country’s high blood pressure rates.
