re: #224 Alouette

When did they stop calling them Fish Fingers and start calling them Fish Dicks?

Ew, I remember those nasty things. As a kid in Enid OK in the 50s, there was no fresh fish available outside of muddy ol’ catfish if you caught it yourself. Whenever a little friend would invite me over to dinner on Friday it was very VERY important to know before accepting if the family was Catholic. If they were they would invariably serve those horrid frozen fish thingies.

Thanks to that stuff I really thought I hated fish and wouldn’t eat it in any form until my 20s when, in Houston, I found out what fish really tasted like. Can’t get enough of FRESH fish now.
