My west coast brother has informed me that today is "Fish Fingers and Custard Day." My immediate thought was "Goody, let's go to Culver's for supper." There is a Culver's conveniently located less than a mile from our house, and they certainly do have fish and custard, which you do not have to eat together. But then I got to wondering jf Culver's has fish fingers? For that matter, what are fish fingers anyway? Do fish have fingers? They can't be very big. So I checked their menu on line. They have walleye and cod and shrimp, but no fish fingers. Then I dug a little deeper (I do love Google) and discovered that fish fingers is a UK term. Here in the US we call them fish sticks. Well. every mother knows what fish sticks are. The dish 'fish fingers and custard' (soft custard, not frozen) was evidently made popular by the 11th Dr. Who. My friend Alice would probably have known this since she's a real Dr. Who fan.
Not surprisingly, writing this blog has made me hungry, and it's almost supper time. I guess I'll see if my spouse would like to go to Culver's. He doesn't eat fish but he does like their burgers and frozen custard.
