what lovely cheapo grub..........

a plate covered with empty roasted-potato jackets,
flattened,
covered with fried bacon-bits & garlic,
then grated cheese,
then a sprinkling of baked beans,
put in microwave to melt the cheese.
fuckin spot on.

left-over bacon-bits mixed in with the mash for later.

Might make my own fishcakes...

I always feel like I'm taking a wormhole back to the 70s when I do that, don't know why

Do people still have fish on Friday.I sometimes still do, just a habit.

i love smoked mackerel but the bones scare the shit out of me.

I had some lovely mackerel on Friday.

Bones in mackerel

Fucking trawlerman bastard cooking up a non-story to get the jingoism going to detract from the fact that the cunting government are robbing us blind.

It's Cod Wars - the sequel, Eric (...this time... it's mackerel). I am content, meanwhile, that DD is not a Faroese plant...

Iceland, which landed practically no mackerel before 2006, has allocated itself a 130,000-tonne quota. The Faroes, a collection of islands 250 miles north of Scotland, has tripled its usual entitlement.

The conflict led to a tense stand off at the port of Peterhead last week, when Scottish fishermen blockaded a Faroese trawler - preventing it from landing its £400,000 catch.

Coupled with an EU warning to take "all necessary measures" to protect its fishing interests, it led to comparisons with the last "Cod War" of the 1970s which saw Icelandic gunboats clash with a Royal Navy frigate

if you say so mate.

It is hard to believe, Eric, but they are fighting over a fish that at one time was supposed to feast on the corpses of dead sailors.

The Mackerel Wars. Sounds like a brawl in Wylam
