Fish Finger Sandwiches With Ketchup On

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Seeing as this is veering into general condiment chat, I got given some of this spicy salami spread recently and it is pretty good.

Love the stuff, unfortunately my body makes sure it comes out looking the same as when it goes in. Pain.

Surprised this got mentioned as an option with fish.

That 'nduja stuff is all over my youtube ads, so it can get in the bin.

Mayonnaise for fish finger sandwiches. Bit of lettuce for crunch too.

Being allergic to eggs, I have only recently tried mayonnaise (a vegan version that a friend of mine insists "tastes just like the real thing") and to be honest it's fucking disgusting I don't get the appeal.

ketchup and mayo when i'm 'ere

Now, that *is* wrongful.

Isn't ketchup and mayo what prawn cocktail sauce is? In which case, I don't see why it would be out of place here.

Add a potato waffle to a fish finger sandwich.

Was it Small Man Big Horse who said that he puts ( or used to put ) ketchup on  A FUCKING SUNDAY ROAST DINNER? Shocking stuff.

I went to a work christmas dinner once where three different food options were available: a Christmas roast, a stir fry, and a salad. God knows why. You can probably guess the end of this story, someone at my table came back with a plate of all three and finished the lot.

Back in my carnivorous days, I went to a fast food place in Cambridge for a burger. Bloke asks me if I want burger sauce, so I ask what's in it "I'm allergic to eggs" I explain. Cunt goes a bit mad tbh. "What do you mean EGGS? Why would I put EGGS in my burger sauce?" He's a tad agitated so, in an effort to cool down the pace, I ask him what's in his burger sauce. "Ketchup and mayonnaise" is the reply.

what an absolute fucking cunt

Ketchup and mayo is not a 'burger sauce'.

IIRC the cheapo burger relishes they did in places like makro were always pretty decent.

Never ketchup in a sandwich. It soaks into the bread and makes it soggy. Absolutely rank. Mayo, yes, of course.

If you stick an insulating layers of butter and trap it in between the other ingredients you can avoid this.  It's a manageable enough issue even for any amateur competent sandwich assembler.

[purlieu]

Butter in hot sandwiches is also a no-no, I'm afraid. Christ, you'll be buttering your burger buns next.

Hitler insisted on buttered bread, ketchup and salad cream.

The trick is to gobble it down before it has a chance to do that.

My tip if using sliced bread, toast the bread so it firms up a bit. Yes, ketchup in a limp Hovis triangular packed lunch tier sarnie sounds shite.

A burger is just bread with some stuff in and no-one seems to regard ketchup as being impossible in there.

[Kankurette]

Ketchup and mayo go together on chips, not so much in a fish finger butty.

I'LL BET IT IS YOU DIRTY OLD BOLLOCKS. I'LL FUCKING BET IT IS.

My mum swears by ketchup and sugar sandwiches but just rhe thought makes my guts cringe.

If you've got a toaster with a wide gauge you can fit two slices in one slot and only have them toasted on the inside (well, outside, but then you turn them round when you assemble the sandwich).

[Cuntbeaks]

4 haddock fish fingers
Buttered white bread
Salt
Malt vinegar
Tomato sauce (optional)

Definitely find that the haddock fingers provide a better overall experience.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Battered are the most decadent I reckon.

Or a grill.

SCENARIO 1

Fish finger sandwich time - the bread is buttered, the fish fingers come off the grill, get slavered in ketchup or whatever else you perverts like, top slice of bread on, you take a bite and... you've fucked up. It's still cold in the middle. You fucking muppet.

Do you:

A. Carry on and eat the lot, let's face it I'm having a fish finger sandwich as an actual meal, I don't give a shit, plus slavering it with condiment was the point of no return. Not going to kill me, is it?

B. Throw it away, and burst into tears. Meal, and life ruined.

C. Attempt re-cooking. Deconstruct the sandwich, and try to scrape off the condiment with the back of a knife, removing most of the breadcrumb coating in the process. Back under the grill, overcook it just to be sure and eventually have an unsatisfactory FFS which is too dry and tastes of burnt ketchup.

Nah, too sensitive to food texture, it's literally a few seconds before it makes me wretch.

I don't do ketchup in burgers either.

I bet you're a riot at parties.

You cook extras so you have a few doneness tester/appetizer ones to just dunk and eat pre-sandwich. The obvious Red Shirt one(s) are any who lost a bit of breading stuck to the pan.

In the mid 80s Wimpy changed their mayo from deep savoury to tooth-achingly sweet. No more Wimpy burgers for me. Who wants sugary mayo in their burger?

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I don't do ketchup in burgers either.

I thought this is where it was heading.

I suppose it's not as zany as 'I can't eat pizza because of melted cheese, I will scrape it all off' man who used to be my line manager.

[amateur]

Absolute nonsense. A chip butty without butter is a frightful thought.

You're also going to need ketchup, salt and vinegar in there if you have any self-respect.

Ketchup can fuck off
