Comfort food..

Fish fingers, chips and mayo

I’m sorry this isn’t a lovely recipe, or vegetarian. I’m sorry it’s not beautifully presented. It’s just grub, comfort food, quick, fast. My evening meal tonight.

Cooked in the oven, frozen chips and fish fingers with mayonnaise, takes about 25 minutes. I might even have a slice of bread and butter if I’m running low on chips. Salt and vinegar and mayonnaise to taste.

It’s reasonably balanced, a mix of protein and carbohydrates with not too much fat if I have the reduced fat chips.

Apologies to vegetarian and vegan readers please do not read further. Also anyone whose religion does not allow eating pork. I apologise and do not wish to cause offence.

————————————————————- We had sausage egg and chips for tea tonight. It cheered me up.

It did remind me of the Monty Pythons Flying Circus sketch about a man asking what he can order in a cafe and the list goes from egg and chips through various permutations to spam egg and chips, spam egg and beans u to and including ‘spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam…… And spam’.

I howl with laughter when I see it.

I can remember being sent to the shops by my mum and saying ‘plumrose chopped ham with pork’ over and over so I would remember the convoluted name. I know it was before I was seven. I’m sure it was after we got a black and white TV. I can remember seeing adverts for it. Perhaps I have got the two mixed up…..
