Cliff Ton 10,497 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Maybe it's actually referring to Fish Fynger. That's his real name. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 After 60 years I was pleased to discover that the fish finger has become a little more sophisticated. The recipe is in the Hairy Dieters cook book: fingers of salmon fillet, coated in herbs, natural yoghurt and breadcrumbs and baked in the oven. Nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I love fish fingers and could eat a whole box of them in one sitting. I rarely buy them because they represent poor value for money but every now and then..... Yummy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Haven't had one for about 60 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Trouble is, they stick can any old shredded-up 'fish' in there. My missus likes them, but even the Birds Eye ones look grey inside. Not for me, thanks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Our Marsdens Maestro might appreciate this memory- not having a freezer...or fridge...come to think of it, my Mum rarely purchased fish fingers or the like. Only when in the Butchers would she take a gleg at the Birds Eye products in the open freezer cabinet. The usual display was in Len Barnes on Mansfield rd. Tarantella Tomatoes/Norfolk Stuffing/Mary had a little Lamb mint sauce etc.. maybe tins of Colman's mustard powder..times have changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 We were too poor to own a 'frig. Me mam went shopping pretty much every day. Milk kept in a bucket of cold water in hot weather. Yet we seemed to eat quite well. With that and lots of exercise we remained quite skinny anyway. Edited for spelling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,229 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Tarantella tomatoes the best.....and in a flat tin,remember having a big stack on the shop floor in Mardens high street Long Eaton 1/4,normally 1/11.......lol. Also recall some shops with no Fridges.......all Bacon and Cheese kept on cold slabs in the Cellar........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,229 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 SORRY just noticed threads about Fish Fingers,,,,,,,,,,,Marsdens didn't stock em until 1961,,,,,,,,Findus started out as the cheapo's 1/6 for 6, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,336 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 We had a cold slab in the pantry, referred to as a 'thrall'. It was the place to keep cheese in a cheese dish, butter, milk, cream, cream cheese etc. My mother also went shopping every day for items such as bread or vegetables. Milk was delivered. My mother gave up her job when she married and didnt return to part-time employment until I was 14.She believed that a mother should be there when her children came home from school and have time to listen to the events of their day. Something my sister and I very much appreciated. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I used an outdoor meat safe in the Falklands right up until I left in mid 1988. The butcher used to deliver my meat straight to the safe, (Usually a half mutton) where it would stay cool until I was able to joint and freeze it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
