As far as I am aware... We Brits do not eat battered mars bars... This is something most silly done in america.
Actually, they are somewhat popular in Scotland. More so than in America, going by the fact I knew a lot of Americans when I went to University when I was up there, and none of them had ever tried it.
As it happened, we all went out one night and convinced ourselves to try this, uh, local delicacy. The plan was to eat some then hit the pubs and enjoy a good night out. After a couple of bites, we all looked at each other, said something along the lines of "I don't feel so great" and crawled back to our dorms.
From what I can recall, it was like having a lead weight in my stomach. I didn't eat for 24 hours after trying it, though that could be as much to do with the dorm food quality as the effects of the deep fried Mars Bar.
I recommend trying it once, only for the experience. Never again....

Pretty sure Scotland is notorious for its inappropriate battering, pizza, mars bars..

...People.
But yes. There are reasons why the average age of death in Scotland is much lower than the rest of the UK. Not so keen on their greens, as a rule. Not unless they've have every nutrient deep-fried out of them, first.
I do apologise to any Scottish people on the forums. I did love my time there, it's just the whole food experience was...not so wonderful. Along with the weather. You do have fantastic taste in alcoholic drinks though, which in my mind makes up for it and then some.
Yeah. I couldn't afford much when I was there, for obvious reasons, but I have heard that. I did manage to try some fresh lobster a couple of years back, and that was, of course, delicious. But for the most part, the things I had in the dorms were hideous (haggis from a tin?), and the most popular place in town for the non-students was Greggs.
Closing in on Christmas, in Denmark we like to eat a delicatesse named "Sylte". It's made out of pigs head, pigs feet and generally things you don't want to know about.

So it's like pickled trotters (pig's feet), they have those in Britain too...
Look into a Norwegian variety, smalahove. Smala means sheep and hove means head. It's exactly what it sounds like. You crack the skull open and eat the brain with mashed turnips and potatoes. It's so revolting they have to call it a delicacy...

For real?
As for the blood pudding, what kind of a sucker does one dip in it.
Yeah, the particular ones on the picture looks bad, but it is actually "raspeball", which is potato-based, tastes awesome usually we have them with sausage (made from sheep) and bacon. The ones on the picture doesnt actually look home-made. An aquired taste i might add...

Sorry to offend our nation in here....
Well, Blood Sausage with suckers and syrup did put some strange images in my mind... :-)
Took me a while to get rid of those images.. Lol

it's actually very good..
You'll have to ask @lordkim about what kind of sucker, but I imagine a big one...
@Bytebrain, thats evil man. Pure evil.. Sucker/sugar... Damn....
That's the one... yum...
I couldn't resist... Sorry. As we say in Danish: Den lå lige til højrebenet...
And you rarly eat the brain as much, it tastes mostly like (any other part of) sheep
@Anduin "That mash potato looks awful!"
