hmm go visit Scotland and try fried chocolate

In a Mexican restaurant in my town, they take two Hershey bars, wrap them in flower tortillas and deep fry them and then cover them in powdered sugar.   What's is fried chocolate in Scotland like?

Reading the responses and looking at the things that are thought as disgusting certainly indicates we have never known hard times and want that our predecessors knew. We are truly spoiled!!

They may not have had the choice we have today, but many of the things we have now they certainly had back then.  I guess tastes just evolve, and I'm sure there things that are around now that people back then would have turned their noses up at.  It goes both ways.

My grandparents didn't eat liver cheese because times were hard.  Some of this stuff you wouldn't have been able to afford when times were hard.   My grandparents lived off of onions and potatoes when times were hard.  They might have had coffee, but they had to grow the food they ate during the depression.  Most everyone I know that likes certain foods I see as disgusting are not living in hard times now.  It's personal preference.

Take any chocolate bar you fancy ( it started with Mars bars apparently ) dip them into batter and deep fry them ... no I havent tried them myself  it really doesn't appeal to me at all

My mom and dad went through hard times and my mom said that beans were the staple of almost every meal.My mom did have a garden.

What is good is to put a chocolate bar in the freezer and then dunk it in your coffee.

Hey you Guys! Lol! .....Don't you go spoiling BROCCOLI   for  me...... I Happen to ENJOY IT!   

That broccoli bowl needs butter . . . maybe some onions or garlic too . . .

What would get you hurt in TX is putting beans in your chilli!   More than one Texan has explained that to me.

Right; chili down here is meat, jalapenos, green chilis, tomatoes, onions, chili powder and is often served topped with cheese or sour cream.  It's AWESOME!

Not always.   There are plenty of scalliwags like me who'll toss beans in there too, although the bean-free version works great for putting over things, like chilidogs, etc.
