How many nuggets?

75 replies

hannah9176 · 18/03/2019 18:40

Had an interesting (for a Monday 😂) chat at work today for what everyone classed as a 'normal' amount of chicken nuggets/fish fingers/rashers of bacon for a meal. For yourself, not your kids. I'm an 8 nugget, 5 fish fingers in a sandwich (well, 4 in a sandwich and one on the side to mop up any leftover tartare sauce) and 2 rashers of bacon in a sandwich. However it seems the norm in my is 4 bacon rashers a sandwich. Blew my mind, bacon:bread ratio is completely off. How many do you have?

3 bacon. 3 or 4 fishfingers.
Don't really eat nuggets - but maybe 6?

MintyCedric · 18/03/2019 20:06

3 bacon, 4 fish fingers

Not a fan of chicken nuggets

Adults shouldn't eat chicken nuggets? What an odd thing to be snobby about.

Littlepond · 18/03/2019 20:23

As much bacon as fits in the bap
5 fish fingers
6 nuggets unless I’m going to McDs after a heavy night drinking then it’s a box of 20 nuggets with sweet and sour dip yes mate

Mmmhmmokdear · 18/03/2019 20:38

Bacon - 2 rashers in a sandwich or as part of a meal
Fish fingers - 2/3 for a meal with other things, 4 in a sandwich
Nuggets - don't really have them, they're not very big are they? Maybe 4-6?

greenelephantscarf · 18/03/2019 20:48

no bacon (bleurgh)
6 nuggets
4 fish fingers

glitterdayz · 18/03/2019 21:45

What's with the small amount of chicken nuggets?
Got at least have 10 to 12!

Chewbecca · 18/03/2019 21:50

3 rashers of back bacon. Don’t tend to eat streaky but would be more than 3 if I did.

2 fish fingers but I buy the Waitrose chunky ones which are probably the size of 3-4 normal ones. They’re v good though.

I have never bought chicken nuggets and never eaten them in a sandwich. Deprived?

80sMum · 18/03/2019 21:55

Back in the days when I used to eat bacon (before I became convinced that it was carcinogenic and out to get me!) I would have had 2 rashers of back bacon in a sandwich. If it was streaky bacon, it would have been at least twice as many!

Argh, now I am fantasising about a bacon sandwich! I used to love them. Haven't had one for about 10 years now.

mrsm43s · 18/03/2019 22:00

3 bacon
3-4 fish fingers
4-5 chicken nuggets

Surprised by all those who eat ff, but not nuggets. I don't eat either regularly, but I put them very firmly in the same category, and can't see why anyone would be snobbish about one, but not about the other!

hannah9176 · 18/03/2019 22:20

@glitterdayz I had 11 before. Just shook the bag of dippers and 11 fell out and didn't feel right to put any back. Still could have had more. Still want a bacon sandwich. Might set my alarm 15 mins earlier tomorrow and have a whopper of a sandwich. Also, feel like there may have been some neglect in my childhood as I'm pretty sure if anything else went in the sandwich (mushroom, egg etc) the rashers went down to 1!! I did always wonder who would ever work their way through a pack of 12 rashers but clearly I'm the one who has been doing it wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also agree with fish finger/nuggets very much in the same category! Unless you get the fancy fish fingers out of the fridge section in M&S.

I'm so hungry

How can you all do odd numbers? - aaargh (autistic and not coping) but

6 fish fingers
2 bacon
No nuggets (don't eat them)

AirBiscuit · 18/03/2019 22:29

I recon I could eat 50 nuggets in one sitting. Might go down to MaccyDs now and find out

Drogosnextwife · 18/03/2019 22:33

3 bacon, used to be 2 but I think they are getting smaller! So need 3 to have one layer of bacon completely cover the Warburton's white bread.

Never have chicken nuggets, not a fan.

5 fish fingers, or 5 Sainsbury's veggie fingers which I absolutely love with sweet chilli sauce.

ShivD · 18/03/2019 22:53

3 fish finger, 5 nuggets, 2 bacon rashers 🥓

toffee1000 · 18/03/2019 23:51

I don’t eat fish fingers or nuggets that often. Occasionally I would have fish fingers in a sandwich, maybe 3-4 depending on size of bread slice. 9 chicken nuggets on the very very rare occasion I go to McDonald’s. Perhaps once a year at most. Grown adults can eat whatever they want.
2 back bacon in a sandwich, although I wouldn’t be averse to more. I don’t have bacon that often either, though...

MillicentMartha · 20/03/2019 21:05

I’m not snobby about food, it’s just that I think of chicken nuggets as children’s food, for those who haven’t moved on to chicken breast etc. Maybe because I never had them as a child. Fish finger sandwiches, however...

Crunchymum · 20/03/2019 21:10

3 rashers of bacon but fat cut off.

Don't really like fishfingers and the only nuggets I have are from MacD, which we don't have too often (i can easily eat 6 though!)

safariboot · 20/03/2019 21:40

Nuggets come in 6es from Maccy Ds. (They are the only nuggets I like).

Fish fingers, 3 or 4.

I don't really like bacon butties. Usually a sensible size fry-up will have one or two rashers.

BrusselPout · 20/03/2019 21:52

3 bacon (so you don't get a gap when they shrink - but I do like bacon 'well done' 😂) 6 nuggets and 4 fish fingers

curtainpole12 · 20/03/2019 22:02

3 bacons in a sarnie
3 dish fingers in a sarnie
6 nuggets as an accompaniment

happymummy12345 · 21/03/2019 03:38

I'd say 4 fish fingers- enough to cover the slice of bread. As for bacon I'd say 3 or 3, depends what's with it. I love sausage, bacon and grated cheese as a sandwich. Nuggets I have no idea as I'd never put them in a sandwich

happymummy12345 · 21/03/2019 03:40

Or if on a plate, 3 fish fingers, 6 nuggets, 2 or 3 bacon, depending what is with it
