Fish Fingers, Chips, Peas and Tomato Ketchup by British Cream Tea

Fish Fingers, Chips, Peas and Tomato Ketchup Set of Recycled Felt Food Sculptures

A childhood teatime classic ;)

Golden breaded fish fingers, chips and peas with a little dollop of tomato ketchup.

The fish fingers are hand embroidered with french knot "breadcrumbs", the chips are cut by hand, complete with one slightly wonky one, the ketchup is sewn into a swirl as if it has just come out of the old glass sauce bottle and each pea is completely spherical.

Developed at the Birdseye factory in the South Quay area of Great Yarmouth, the Fish Finger was to become one of the great British teatime staples. Since the product was launched in 1955, at 1s & 8d a packet, 15 billion have been sold, and more than 100 packets are sold every minute in the UK.

Different fish were tried during the product development, with a herring-based version rejected in favour of the eventual cod Fish Finger.

My mum loves fish fingers. I remember her cooking far more than my sister and I would eat so she could eat the leftovers...though this memory is probably more in my mind than in reality as she swears she never did! We had them with mashed potatoes and peas a lot as the chip pan was reserved for a twice yearly treat when Mum would retrieve it from the back of the cupboard and hand cut the chips.

Designed completely by me ;)

Made from felt and stuffed with polyfil. Completely hand sewn, hand embroidered and stuffed.

Please note that as each fish finger, chip and pea is hand cut, embroidered and sewn, they may very slightly in each piece.

Remember you get two fish fingers, five chips, 8 peas and the dollop of tomato ketchup in this set ;)
