Which would you choose?

Came back from work and both these plates in the fridge, not much else as need to do the food shop.
i went immediately for the fish fingers and mash, Dh thought I was weird

Which would you pick? (You can’t have both!)

If pick same as you. I much prefer savoury food.

ThatAgileGoldMoose · 17/12/2024 23:15

Yeah I'd have gone for them. Although I'm not sure why you couldn't follow it up with brownie for dessert!

murasaki · 17/12/2024 23:15

I prefer fishfingers in a sandwich, but I'd still take them and mash over brownies.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 17/12/2024 23:15

Same as you! I wouldn’t go for sweet as a meal or when I’m hungry. You want savoury when you’re hungry.

A brownie for pudding maybe but only once I’d has some savoury food.

Eating something sweet on an empty stomach would make me feel quite sick.

It totally depends on the day/my mood/what I've already eaten, but today I'm definitely with you!

nocoolnamesleft · 17/12/2024 23:17

Are these yummy squidgy brownies?

AngelontopoftheTree · 17/12/2024 23:18

I'm totally with you and the FF 😋

FuckItItsFine · 17/12/2024 23:18

If it was freshly cooked, I’d take the FF and M. But if we’re reheating it, I’ll take the brownies.

Candleburnsquickly · 17/12/2024 23:27

@FuckItItsFine I ate them straight from the fridge, quite like them later on, a bit cold and stodgy 😅

I am sooooooo in the mood for fish and chips today; this thread has only exacerbated my suffering. 😭😭

Hollyhollyberry · 17/12/2024 23:34

I hate most puddings other than a brownie so brownie gets my vote! If it was apple pie / sponge with custard I wouldn’t touch it

GiddyRobin · 17/12/2024 23:45

Definitely the fishfingers! Love them with mash or on a butty. And I'm also a fan of them cold! I do that quite often. 😂 Skip dinner then eat it cold from the fridge! If it's fresh I need piping hot, later on I want to feel naughty like I'm sneaking from the pantry! 🤣

Fishfinger & mash.
Always savory for me.

Always a starter, rarely a dessert.

You are me in a restaurant. If I'm fitting in two courses, pudding isn't one of them.

Wait… cold fish fingers and mash straight from the fridge?!! Yep, you’re weird 😂 I would rather go hungry. 100% brownies in that case.

TBH, I don’t really like fish fingers or mash so it would be a hard choice for me even if they were freshly cooked but I am firmly in the savoury camp normally.

StrongFemaleCharacter · 18/12/2024 00:45

Fish fingers and mash - can I add baked beans into the mix?

Floralnomad · 18/12/2024 01:15

I’d possibly eat the fish fingers , not with mash though . Don’t like brownies at all

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 18/12/2024 01:29

I'd always go for savoury over sweet, but fish fingers do nothing for me. Replace that with a bowl of chilli and now you're talking!

Caerulea · 18/12/2024 01:43

Fish fingers fwiw every time & without exception. I'm a fool for fish fingers, it's ridiculous.

However, I'd like to know why brownies are in the fridge, if you please. I'm mildly offended by this.

coxesorangepippin · 18/12/2024 01:49

ff and mash

Nom

ThisIsSockward · 18/12/2024 02:34

Sweet foods aren't as satisfying to me when I'm hungry. I can't eat as much of them, and even if I could, it wouldn't feel like a meal.

Caswallonthefox · 18/12/2024 02:37

Fish fingers and mash, with peas

mondaytosunday · 18/12/2024 02:38

I have a real sweet tooth but I'd go for the fish and mash - more nutrition (such as it is) and less sugar.
