deep fried Mars bar.


I had to Google this to find out what a "thing" it was.

What I want to know is whether the kitchen has a dedicated deep fryer for these, or whether they are are fried in the same oil with the potatoes, fish, chicken, onions, etc?

Octopus-shaped sausages and panda-shaped onigiri are classics in Japanese school bentos. But you may be too old for such childishness. ;)

I'd suggest having two boxes, or a box with removable compartments, so that you can carry both food to heat in the microwave, and salads and such to eat cold.

edit: I think "deep-fried mars bar" is more of a joke/novelty item than a real thing that people eat. It's a joke about people from Glasgow being unhealthy.

Yeah, I didn't meet many people who actually tried it here. I never had it, hard to say if its tasty or not. Doesn't sound like it is :)

Healthy Glaswegians? Yeah, that is a joke :D

Two types of raw mushrooms? That's a small box. I would have more carbs.
Lacks greens: you need green vegetables every day.
