Fish Fingers??!

Nope! I have managed to replace a British institution with sticks of cauldron firm tofu, marinated in a mix of Sea Isle Jerk BBQ sauce and dark soya sauce before being breaded with some Jamaican spicy flour mix and fried in a helluva lotta vegetable oil. Served over a relatively bland creamy mushroom pasta dish this tasted AMAZING!!!! Mcgonnagle ate every last mouthful, though between these and Dan and Jessy's tempeh meatless balls, I think she may be growing out of her soyfoods aversion - finally!!

This is a very dark picture of an amazing smoothie I had for lunch! Rocket/arugula with strawberries and limes, basil, 2 cups mixed fruit salad, 2 tbsp ground flaxseed and 4 pre-soaked dates. Delicious and refreshing with the peppery rocket, sweet strawberries, tart and juicy limes and flavourful basil making a remarkable combination! I think I got this idea off Swell Vegan's blog but I can't remember exactly as it was a while ago now. I do remember thinking at the time how good it would be - and it was!

I was just yesterday wondering how I could make a fish finger alternative. I never liked fish fingers, but my eldest daughter did.

what's wierd is that I wasn't the biggest fish finger lover - but when i went veg i really missed fishfinger sandwiches!! Then I found redwood foods' fishless fingers and they're not bad and can survive being shoved in the back of the freezer for a while too! Your alternative looks great though.

tee hee - longstockings!!

Woe is me. I must sack the housekeeper - she's rubbish!
