Caught something a little tastier


For once, food that hadn't been murdered


It looks like fish... sort of


Non-Brits probably won't understand this... I don't!

  2. Sorry but I am pretty sure that something was in fact murdered on that plate - maybe a really big caterpillar, or a small lost Martian?
    Been following you from Aussie - good to see you back on your feet :)

    Um, what is that? Looks like slime from one of my son's toys.

  5. Wow is that real fish, why hasn't it been processed into a nice semi-oblong shape before being served to you, that one slipped through the net on the way to the factory.

  6. Mushy peas are the spawn of satan! YUCK! Very English!!!

    As long as it was palatable that is what matters!

    How is the mobility coming along? Hope you are not overdoing it. Last thing you want is to slow your recovery down in any wya!

    Take care

  8. @The Nurse - I always thought that mushy peas were vile, and then I went to a restaurant in Wiltshire and had homemade mushy peas. I'm a convert - they were great. They did have mint in them and they were not squidged out of all recognition but were recognisably peas. Sorry, TM, I didn't mean to make you envious.

  14. Oh what a wonderful dinner, is this plaice, chips and mushy peas, did it taste as lovely as it looks TM.

    I love mushy peas, not something as a Scot I was familiar with, living in England changed that, I love them, don't do them in Southern Ireland, first thing I got when over in Brighton, fish, chips and mushy peas, gorgeous.

  18. Dear All

    You are wrong - brussel sprouts are spawn of the devil ....... not only do they look and tast vile, they make the whole house stink whilst cooking and afterwards (if you get my meaning)!

    Best regards, Cats' Mother

  19. Sarah's right except, oddly, the sprouts served here are quite palatable in a perverse kind of way. I have defitnitely got Stockholm Syndrome, haven't I?

  20. I think I've had food that was palatable in a perverse kind of way. But I'm not sure I woudl make a habit of it.

  21. I also like sprouts. The mushy peas look vile. I'm from scotland. I think mushy peas are more an English thing. The fish looks fine though. Hope you're not too sore today. Are you getting up a bit?

  24. You can tell the mushy peas are out of a tin, the colour is wrong , and tinned mushy peas are vile tasting.

    Is that the first time you have had fish while in hospital TM ?

  25. There's always a choice of fish on Fridays. Last time I tried it the fish was made of discarded Tesco Economy fish fingers that tasted as if they'd been spat out by toddlers. It was then covered in a crispy crumb that was about as crispy as a wet roll of Andrex.

  27. Thanks, Ness. The two things I live for are: making people smile and think. Sounds friendly and pompous at the same time, doesn't it?
