It’s been years since I had a fish finger sandwich. This seems wrong. A ffs is one of the great delicacies of the culinary world. Certainly in the sandwich world. It’s up there with the crisp sandwich and the bacon sandwich.
The quality of the fish finger is important. Doesn’t have to be premium but not the real cheapo stuff. The bread is also important. Nice buttered good quality white. Again not the cheapo crap but it doesn’t have to be artisanal. A light smear of tomato ketchup is appropriate.
This needs thinking about. An important element of the good life without being overly ostentatious. Fish fingers not caviar. Tea not champagne. I like both tea and champers btw but find prosecco a bit on the light side. I drink a lot of tea but not much champagne. Relatively speaking. A teabag costs two pence and doesn’t send you to sleep for the rest of the day if consumed at breakfast time.
Don’t ask me what made me think of this right now. Ok Jamie is making some sort of fish cake. I’m not listening – have the Bose on listening to tunes but did catch the fish cake bit.
I’m not a huge fish eater. Don’t mind a bit of haddock and chips with mushy peas, bread and butter and tartare sauce washed down with a cuppa at lunchtime when at the seaside. The occasional pan fried sole also works.
When I were a lad mam would cook my sisters Ann and Sue fishcakes but I’d have burgers or rissoles. You can’t get Birds Eye rissoles any more. Or were they Findus. Can’t remember. Served with chips and peas and bread and butter. Often. The good things in life.
If we are talking about sandwiches then a good quality ham also does it for me as well as a nice mature cheddar with THG’s spicy plum chutney or chopped onion is also good.
