The FOC thread.

Used to but can't afford it any more. It were a Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney pie for tea tonight!

There not cheap anymore either.
It was westlers tinned burgers for me.

It’s Easter Sunday, so what did the hospital do today? Gave all the patients an Easter egg. Amazing. A decent sized egg, too. Just waiting for the sexy blonde nurse to give me an Easter kiss. I think it’s a rule.

Sexy blonde nurse will say to you “I’m going to give you super sex”

You replied “give me the soup love”

I know it’s a joke that’s probably as old as you are.

I remember one at my uncles house that I made a beeline for whenever I was there!

I know it was tongue in cheek but you can still get 3 haddock or cod fillets for around a fiver at Supermarkets. Bit of flour, egg wash and panko bread crumbs along with a few frozen chips and a tin of mushy peas and you’re looking at no more than £2.50 a portion, about the cost of the cheapest butty these days and just a quid more than half a Fray Bentos pie without the veg/chips.

What do panko breadcrumbs taste like that is British that could be described to me as a comparison? Your recipe sounds great, but I'm reticent to try in case I don't like the panko. Any info gratefully received. TIA.

Jam butties!

I'm still partial to a jam butty on a thick cheeky Warbys white even these days. Even better are chips lathered in salt n vinegar on a well buttered Warbys medium white. Absolute heaven.

I'm a female FOC but I do recall seeing these pens as a young girl in the mid 60s. Really wondered what the purpose was..... However when I reached my early teens I wanted one of a blokey getting into a similar state of disrobe :-).

Just fancy breadcrumbs really but a bit more texture, think they’re Japanese origin. When my Dad was alive (and elderly) I used to cut fish fillets up and coat them in flour, egg wash and panko, it was easy for him to eat, sometimes with a dip like mayo or mustard.

Thank you. Sounds like your dad ( bless) enjoyed. I'll give it a go, are the panko available widely in supermarkets? X

Crush some Jacobs crackers and use them instead of panko, that's what I use all the time

Healthy eater then?

Naturellement!

( actually occasional treats, chippy tea about 3x a year, jam butty when I need a sweet carb overload).

They are, Morrison’s definitely do, about £2 a pack.

Fukin hate shop assistants & bar staff who are as miserable as shit, treat you like you’re a nuisance and would rather be anywhere but work.

They probably think you're an foc and probably miserable, so they come out in sympathy. :)

I ve enjoyed a great start to the day.
Washed and dressed by two lovely nurses, I managed to steal a kiss from both.
No pain in the leg, guts not rumbling, it doesnt get any better.
