A Mars Bar in the UK (and elsewhere in Europe, Israel, etc.) is a Milky Way bar in the U.S.: nougat & caramel coated in milk chocolate. Take away the caramel and you have a 3 Musketeers.

I made deep-fried Coke and survived to tell the tale! read all about it at The Kosher Blog. Steve

David, fried catfish for Chanukah is similar to the Chanukah ham featured earlier on the blog.

If you want to do a fried fish for chanukah, what about Fish and Chips? You can use cod, pollak, or another similar kosher fish. And then you have the fried chips.

Come to think of it, I think I’m going to have to make fish and chips part of my channukah tradition.

I’m fascinated by traditional celebration feasts, so I’d love to try latkes but the fried oreos and candy bars just bring me back to the crazy gimmick stuff on sale at every Minnesota State Fair. People would buy it and try it not for the enjoyment but just to say they did. Now I’ll have to tell the old Minnesota crowd about fried Coke, they’ve never done that!

I am glad to see that I am not the only one deviating from the latkes/doughnuts traditions this year (although we’ll do both of those as well). Last night I pan fried catfish. My kids love it and I assured them that fried catfish are an excellent Chanukah food.

A bit of Brit-picking here – Mars and Snickers are not the same thing. I think they’re made by the same company, but they’re different enough to be on sale in the same vending machines. The main difference is that one has large chunks of peanut in and one doesn’t.
