Gherkin, radish, onion, fresh cucumber, and some piccalilli on the side as it's springtime

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

Yes..it was lunch!

Such greed. Nobody needs 10 fish fingers for lunch.

MyKingdomForACat · 07/04/2025 15:52

Five fish fingers max with chips and salad. I do love a pasty. Cold with salad cream 😍

MeAndMyGhost · 07/04/2025 15:53

I'm invested in the one tomato: did you nibble a bit with each fish finger or did you eat the fish fingers and have the tomato as an after 'dessert' like or something else?

Enquiring minds need to know 🍅

I could easily smash 10 fish fingers, they are tiny. If I was having them as part of a meal or on a butty, I'd go 4 or 5

Guilty as charged Bogginsthe3rd 😀

Were they the chunky ones, if so that's exceptional 🙂

Vipersgonnavipe · 07/04/2025 16:02

The tomato is a step too far op.
Ketchup, yes. If you have no bread, just dip the fishfingers in.
If the fishfingers are the only food in the house, then needs must.
Your friend is weird. Send them home.

For those interested I slice the tomato really thinly and slice again and have a bit of tomato with each fish finger

While we're clairfying the tomato, how big of a tomato? A tomato can be anywhere from tiny cherry tomato to a huge beef tomato. I'm assuming somewhere in the middle, but the size of a satsuma? A small orange? A larger orange? What orange size of tomato did you have OP?

Member869894 · 07/04/2025 16:11

A satsuma sized tomato was the perfect accompaniment to my fishy feast

At first I thought the tomato was a bit weird but now I'm definitely going to give it a try!

As for BU - I don't think so. You do whatever makes you happy! My kids are away right now, and I'm on my 4th (and final) day of exclusively eating croissants, chicken super noodles and pringles and I've bloody loved it.

TicklishMintDuck · 07/04/2025 16:38

Eat as many fish fingers as you like. You do you! Really fancy some fish fingers now…

Miaowzabella · 07/04/2025 16:53

I can't believe nobody has mentioned salad cream.

Jiski · 07/04/2025 16:54

Calorie wise it’s probably a perfect amount. Much more protein than sticking them in a sandwich. It’s probably only the size of a breaded fish fillet.

honeyfox · 07/04/2025 16:54

I sometimes do a couple of fish fingers in a wrap for lunch with salad and sauce and it's really good.

dapsnotplimsolls · 07/04/2025 16:56

I'd be bored after 4 tbh.

mathanxiety · 07/04/2025 16:56

As long as you toast four thick slices of white bread, butter them, add five fish fingers to two, sprinkle on a splash of lemon juice, clap the other buttered toasts on top, then eat them as sandwiches, yanbu.

You can save the tomato for another occasion.

Madre123 · 07/04/2025 16:57

Fish fingets are tiny now...unless they are the chunky ones...the box of the small ones would disappear in a sandwich easily... hope you enjoyed.

2-3 max would be enough for me but I suppose it depends how much you like them, if I really loved them maybe I could manage 10 but it dose seem like quite a lot

I love sausages but I don’t think I could manage to eat 10 of them

Createausername1970 · 07/04/2025 17:02

That's not excessive. Assuming you are talking about the frozen mass produced ones. If you take off all the bread coating and look at the amount of fish actually on the plate, it's not exactly a massive amount.

I would eat 5 with chips and beans, so 10 on their own is probably comparable.

Arlanymor · 07/04/2025 17:05

The tomato was an aberration. Beans and chips, salt and vinegar. Thems the rules. B-

Ohmych · 07/04/2025 17:10

Now I want a fish finger sandwich

JohnTheRevelator · 07/04/2025 17:11

You are absolutely not BU. I'd even add some bread and butter. 😂
