Fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter; cheesecake

If there’s one thing you can rely on in this home, it’s getting a good meal on a Friday.

And after having had One Of Those Mornings (you know the ones – like playing whack-a-mole with problems, where every time you solve one issue something else pops up and bites you on the bum¹), I was ravenous and keenly looking forward to my weekly fishy feast.

I mean, just look at it. Everything this British person could dream of in a lunch, minus the mushy peas, which got accidentally left off my order. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the person who brought my lunch shares my love of them and brought me back a good sized side bowl full of glorious green gloop. (I thought I took a photo but it’s missing from my camera reel so I was obviously in too much of a hurry to get to eating them!)

If I’m being picky, the batter was a bit soggy, having lost its crunch somewhere between the kitchen and me, but the chips more than made up for it even after being drowned in a large proportion of the contents of my bottle of ketchup. Some of the bread and butter went into makeshift fish sandwiches, and the rest into chasing down every last trace of mushy pea on my plate.

And what could be better to finish an excellent meal than a piece of homemade cheesecake? Well, the whole cheesecake, I suppose, but as that’s not an option I’ll settle for a piece². I won’t go over again just how good this cheesecake is: I think I’ve given more than enough words in previous reviews for you to know I love it.

Brief pause as I realise I haven’t taken my afternoon meds…..

Apologies, where were we? Oh yes, scores.

You know what, I’m not going to do the whole listing out items thing: that was a solid 10/10 meal all the way.

Now I’m going to do as my OT keeps telling me to do and relax, with a cup of coffee and a game on my kindle. Although I will answer my phone if it rings. And while I have my phone in my hand I need to make a note on my to do list… actually I might as well just do the thing now. And then I’ll have a quick look to see what’s happening on Facebook. But then I really will relax. Possibly.

2. It was on the menu as mandarin cheesecake but they saved me a piece before topping the rest with, if previous form holds true, a single mandarin segment per piece of cheesecake. ↩︎
