An Edinburgh chip shop on one of the city's busiest streets has warned that a national shortage has stopped sales of the iconic deep fried Mars Bar.
Giuseppe Andreucci, the owner of the Clamshell Takeaway on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, provides a vitally important tourist service. His shop offers the only deep fried Mars Bars on the Royal Mile and he takes his job of introducing tourists to the Scottish delicacy very seriously.
“The deep fried Mars bars were very popular during the festival and it was hard to keep up with demand,” Andreucci said. "We were out of stock all of last week and over the weekend but we have them again for now.”
