Fish Fingers!
Posted by Moose the Mooche on 1 October 2011 - 7:05pm.
I know almost nothing about cricket and care considerably less. But Freddie Flintoff was on BBC1's Saturday Kitchen this morning and chose, as his Food Heaven [where others dutifully choose red snapper or scallops or whatever else is currently fashionable]
FISH FINGERS
CHIPS
and
BEANS.
Come ON. Doesn't that sound more appetising than half the hoity-toity nonsense that gets presented to us as the ultimate nosh (usually on f###ing slates)
Freddie, I tip my hat.
Inspired by his example, I want to tell you that I've never had anything in any restaurant, no matter how much I paid, that has given me as much pleasure as Barbecue Beef flavour Super Noodles.
I may be a heathen. But I am a free man. Who's with me?

Cold beans...
... With a spoon, straight from the tin.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Don't you mean, Thrrrrrrrrrrrrrppthpppp?
Pork pies with Colman's mustard...
Yes please.
A Variation
I don't go much for Colman's mustard these days. All heat and no flavour. My variation - recently discovered - is Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" Chilli Jelly with a pork pie. Sweetness, heat and pietastic porkiness in every mouthfull. Yum!
Sun Pat Crunchy Peanut Butter
Liberally spread and sandwiched between two buttered slices of fresh Bloomer loaf.
Oh yes
Oh yes - But it MUST be crunchy.
On hot crumpets, it's da bomb
Or just out of the jar with a teaspoon, if you're brave.
[You won't be surprised to hear that I'm on statins]
Not forgetting
the Marmite.
You missed out
the strawberry jam.
I'm with you!
Fish finger sandwiches, thats what you want.
Well, Freddie's Heaven
wouldn't be unaccompanied by at least two slices of bread and best in any sane universe.
My sister-in-law invented the ultimate: a fish finger sandwich made with cheese-topped baps and mayonnaise.
Almost worth getting married for on it's own.
Your sister in law...
..may well be a genius. Mrs C mixes the tommy sauce with mayo. Mmmm :)
one step beyond...
a fish finger sandwich is the mackeral sandwich. The GLW is a huge Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fan (I know) and yes, I do know this is stepping into foodie territory but my god it's good. Mackeral fillets shallow fried with flour, egg etc, then whacked into huge floury muffin (people not from my part of Lancashire may be confused by that but substitute roll/bap/batch) then some crispy salad and either ketchup or tatare sauce. Its a little piece of heaven in your hand.
I think I've
mentioned it here on the Blog already, but fish fingers and baked beans instead of the meaty stuff in a Cottage/Shepherds' Pie is damn tasty and very quick to prepare. A little finely-chopped onion in the mash as well, please.
In my experience,
fish fingers, chips & beans stolen from the plates of my small nephews and nieces taste even better. The bonus is that it helps in the fight against childhood obesity.
Little Chef's Olympic Breakfast
Bacon, sausage, beans, tomato, fried eggs, fried bread.
Heavenly - although there's a chance your arteries will be closed before you get to finish it.
Plus optional hash browns and black pudding
for me...
A Full Scottish Breakfast
I've had a few of those, with proper butcher's black pudding, square and round sausage and fruit pudding. Sensational. After one of those you just want to lie down and rest for a few hours. I've not yet had an Ulster Fry but hopefully there's time yet.
The range of Full British Breakfasts are culinary delights which are the envy of the world. I kid you not. Bring 'em on (and mind my arteries)!
The perfect meal...in 1984/6 for me every Wednesday lunchtime
A packet of Walkers beef and onion crisps followed by a Twix with a cup of black coffee (Gold Blend) whilst I read the new edition of Sounds.
96 hour sous-vide confit of ossiphrage gizzard with trufffles.
Or Cheese 'n' Onion Findus Crispy Pancakes.
Wevs..
Straight from
Straight from childhood:
Ambrosia creamy rice pudding with tinned pears,liberally dosed with the juice from the pear tin.
Good man Freddie
Even at my age, I have a stash in my freezer and I like to treat myself to something similar once a month.
Although they're 'little fish sticks' here. The Germans have no imagination sometimes.
Student days
Beans on egg on cheese on bacon on toast. Poached egg of course. Have to watch the calories.
Fish Finger sandwiches
Was the first meal I made my now wife. It worked I guess. Love em.
Can't beat...
... Fish Finger sandwiches with melted cheese on top (of the fingers, not the bread).
Be sure to double up the sandwiches.......
......lightly toasted welsh rarebit as the base, three/four fish fingers, lightly toasted bread with mayo in the middle, three/four fish fingers, lightly toasted welsh rarebit on top.
Nice.

That sandwich sounds like the best sandwich ever.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm fish fingers.
