Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 Aren't they our version of Crab Sticks (even though they don't contain any crab) Fish sticks, also commonly referred to as fish fingers, are a processed foodwhitefish such as cod which have been battered and/or breaded. They are commonly available in the frozen food section of supermarkets, and on children's menus in family-oriented restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunty Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 Southampton was the first place to sell fish fingers in the 1940s. How about the American term - Fish Sticks or Fishsticks? Fish sticks, what a delicious treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barfy Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 Not a fan of lentils, what else can be used? You could try replacing the lentils with pasta and adjust the cooking times as needed, or even try something like Borlotti beans... Which reminds me of another recipe I like (probably nicked this too though). I haven't done it for a while though: Soak a pound of Borlotti beans until they start softening. Boil a pigs trotter (or two) with a generous helping of stock vegetables and herbs until the meat is virtually falling off. Put the meat to one side. Cook the beans in the stock (removing any veg etc first). Once cooked, drain off most of the liquid. Add 1 x tin chopped tomatoes, and a large dollop of tomato puree, spices (e.g. paprika, chili or other preferred spices). Salt and pepper to taste. Remove the meat from the trotters and add to beans and heat through. Pretty much a meal in itself, though a few slices of toast makes for a good beans on toast. The other great thing about this one is that you can pretty much make up the detail as you go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draino76 Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 A whole bulb dude, but to your taste. Oh BTW this soup looks ****ing horrible for the 1st 10 minutes but after you cook it through for 20+, it all comes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barfy Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 Sounds a bit like Cassoulet. I was trying to work out where I got the idea, and I think it was Keith Floyd in Italy, so it's probably based on an Italian variation of cassoulet. Either way, it's blooming nice!

Wiltshire Saint Posted 12 May, 2009 Share Posted 12 May, 2009 1. Woopdedo 2. So, right now, they are called Fish Fingers. How recent is "recent", 80's ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwaMFFtRI7I ... 60's? 3. Really? http://www.simplot.com.au/health-nutrition.asp?pgID=306 http://www.indfish.co.nz/images/right_pics/retail-batteredfishfingers.jpg 4. No it doesn't, it does however carry an entry for Fish Finger as two words. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/fishfinger?view=uk Would you like custard with your humble pie? 1. I have reported your post because I don't believe that it is acceptable for one member of a forum to taunt another and disrespect the memory of his father (as Baj has done in his first point) 2. Fishfingers is one word. In the past it has been spelt as one word and the only reason it has changed is so the words can be spread over the packaging. This does not constitute a change in the word, but a change in the way it it presented. 3. I value different cultures and peoples. I value the way they pronounce words. I believe that if other countries call fishfingers "fishfingers" then that is relevant to me and my world values. Whether those people are Australian, Kiwis ir Belgians. I don't think you should bring your prejudices onto this board. 4. There are many dictionaires that do use the singular word "fishfinger" and in the past OED has done so.

Yeah go on then. 1. How is woopdedo disrespecting the memory of your father? 2. Nah, it's 2 words, think we've covered that. 3. Yeah, I hate other cultures, particularly Belgians. lol. En in Belgie, "Fishfingers" heet "fishsticks", maar mijn Belgie schoonzus roept fish fingers omdat ik heb zij gevraagd. 4. Yeah, but you quoted OED as your source.

Seany S Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 Another West Indian themed one for you to try - oxtail and butterbean stew. A lovely dish that is also incredibly cheap to make - just make sure you have plenty of time to cook it. Ingredients: 1/2 kilo oxtail, seperate the meat from the bone and fat, leave a bit of fat on to aid cooking (butcher might do this if you ask them nicely) 1 can butterbeans 4 rashers bacon 6-8 shallots finely diced 4 carrots - 1 finely diced, the other three chopped normally stick celery finely diced half white onion roughly chopped 4 garlic cloves minced or finely chopped 6 allspice pimento seeds ground to powder sprig fresh thyme 2 pints good beef or chicken stock seasoned flour First, take your oxtail meat, roll pieces in seasoned flour and brown in a little oil. When brown take and remove to one side. In the pan fry bacon, onion, shallots, garlic, celery and fine chopped carrots. You should have enough fat from the meat, certainly from the bacon. Once they have all softened (do not burn or brown them!), add all of the other ingredients (including the set aside meat) EXCEPT FOR THE BUTTERBEANS - put those in about 15 mins before serving otherwise they will turn to mush. Cook on a low heat, covered, for 2-3 hours until oxtail meat falling apart. Goes well with some nice fresh greens, some sweet potato, and a little garlic mash. Good eating!!!!

Seany S Posted 14 May, 2009 Share Posted 14 May, 2009 I made a nice pasta sauce last night, which I will also share! Used a pack of organic plum tomatoes, some anchovies, a small onion, 4 cloves of garlic, a dash of Grace chili sauce, a couple of chopped black olives and a good old handful of pecorino cheese. Took me about 5 minutes to make, and tasted delish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
