Shocking lack of tartar sauce

Yodol · 07/04/2025 14:48

yab a weirdo, for the random tomato.

Bogginsthe3rd · 07/04/2025 14:47

That's a gargantuan serving that should feed 5 people. Do you pig out like this regularly or is it a special occasion?

BeachRide · 07/04/2025 14:45

YABU to have a tomato with them, rather than ketchup!

Of course eating 10 fish fingers in one go is too much. I can't believe you even have to ask.

And why with a tomato? Confused

How bizarre!

You’d be horrified by mine and my partner’s McDonald’s order to share.
20 mcnuggets
1 x mcchicken sandwich
1 x triple cheeseburger
2 x medium chips
1 x Water to make me feel less guilty
No tomato though I must admit

Someone's in the money! 😉

mickandrorty · 07/04/2025 14:35

urg so am I they should be eaten with beans and chips swimming in vinegar!

Tortielady · 07/04/2025 14:32

I'd rather have fish fingers in a sandwich, eg ciabatta roll, with tartar sauce or horseradish than a random tomato, but fresh tomatoes aren't my favourite things. Have what you like OP and enjoy it.

I was horified by the token healthy addition of a tomato. Much better with ketchup on a sandwich

Trickedbyadoughnut · 07/04/2025 14:22

Will nobody think of the fingerless fish?

falalalalaaaaaaaa · 07/04/2025 14:21

neverknowinglyunreasonable · 07/04/2025 13:53

I'm also horrified. That's two fish hands! Have a word with yourself.

This made me properly laugh 🤣

But no OP, I wouldn’t be horrified at all. They’re not very big after all.

NuffSaidSam · 07/04/2025 14:19

Is she horrified because they're not in a sandwich? If so, your friend is correct and YABU.

Or is she horrified because it's too many? In which case she is wrong and YANBU. An adult can never get full on fish fingers. They're like celery, you use more calories eating them than they contribute; they're a net loss.

Catinabox21 · 07/04/2025 14:17

It’s not the fish fingers but the random tomato along side that’s making me twitchy. One doesn’t go with the other IMO. Swap it for tomato ketchup.

PineappleChicken · 07/04/2025 14:15

I haven’t had fish fingers in years! I must get some when I go shopping next. Maybe with some potato waffles too. Thanks OP

Cherrytree86 · 07/04/2025 14:12

It’s a lot tbf OP, and pretty expensive.
but you do you.

rosydreams · 07/04/2025 14:10

i am eating 5 crispy hot wings =p

Needmorelego · 07/04/2025 14:09

Been there done that with a packet of 14 😁

ballettap · 07/04/2025 14:09

Eating even one fish finger is horrifying so I'm with your friend!

Although if I did like them then I would prefer a tomato to bread. Is it just me or does bread taste sweeter now?? I don't like it at all.

Lurkingandlearning · 07/04/2025 14:08

@100percenthagitude is spot on. Has your friend never seen a plate of fish and chips?

ImmortalSnowman · 07/04/2025 14:06

Ten is overkill imo but probably less calories than four (agree @MrsTerryPratchett it's four) on hot buttered thick sliced toast. With beans.

I have eaten six vegetable fingers for lunch though.

Saltedcarameltiramisucheesecake · 07/04/2025 14:05

I had a fish finger burrito once in a pub. Fish fingers, bit of iceberg lettuce, sweet tomato, mayo, and spicy sauce., all wrapped up in a little foil jacket. Very tasty. 😋

SodOffbacktoaibu · 07/04/2025 14:00

Someone on here once recommended fish fingers sandwiches with buttered toast and lemon. Total gamechanger btw.

O.m.g. Tiger bread toast? Rocket on the side. I’m in.

feel desperate now, want it with a glass of white wine.

Allseeingallknowing · 07/04/2025 14:03

4 is enough for me!

MrsTerryPratchett · 07/04/2025 14:01

JustToBeMe · 07/04/2025 13:58

3 in sandwich with Tartar sauce would be enough for me.

Three? Always 4 in a sandwich. Someone hasn't read their Debrett's recently Shock
