Halfass Breakfast Sandwich Idea #1

(I think I'm going to start a "Halfass" section on this blog, dedicated to all things "Halfass" be they film reviews, or recipe ideas...)

Anyhoo. This recipe involves leftovers. Specifically, leftover crumbed fish from last night's dinner. The fish was kinda... not so much tasteless, it just had a "what the FUCK am I eating" kinda taste. That's not to say that all crumbed fish tastes like that... some of the stuff you buy from the freezer section is actually not bad. But for fish and chips, I'd much prefer to go to the local fish and chip shop and spend like $3 andget some freshly crumbed *real* fish.

So usually when we have fish and chips, there's a couple of pieces of fish leftover. Not wanting to waste anything, I usually store it in the fridge for the next morning, or next lunch... or whatever. And more often than not, I end up making a sandwich out of it.

You will need:
==============

2 pieces of leftover crumbed fish (any brand will do, and it doesn't have to be fancy)
2 slices of bread
Tartare Sauce (or whatever happens to be your favourite.. you could use mayonnaise if you don't have Tartare handy)
1 slice of cheese (optional)

What to do:
===========

Well, this is a bit of a no brainer. Basically you slap tartare sauce or mayonnaise on both slices of bread, and arrange your cold fish onto one slice, then add the other slice sauce side down on top. Munch and enjoy! Sandwich should have a bit of crunch to it due to the slight crispiness of the fish pieces.

A bit on the ghetto side, but it'll do for breakfast on-the-run!

Chicken-Fried Bacon Strips?

I honestly don't know whether to laugh, or cry at this video...or whether to salivate or puke, for that matter. I didn't stumble on this video, so much as do a bit of link-hopping to get to it. But, I thought I would share it with you all (or y'all as they say down in Texas).

Chicken-Fried Bacon Strips

For those of you who have crappy connections, or don't have 4 and a bit minutes to spare, Sodolak's Original Country Inn, located in Snook, Texas has a rather interesting menu. Along with a 2 pound steak and fries, you can also order Chicken-Fried Bacon Strips. Simply put, these are bacon strips dipped in chicken-fried steak batter (although whether that translates to like beer batter for us Australian types, I'm not sure) and then deep fried (a la Chicken-Fried steak, which I'm told is similar to a schnitzel), and served up with a cream gravy.

Sadly, it looks sorely appteising, making me want some YESTERDAY...but on the downside, I would probably regret chowing down on it later. My favourite part in the video is the woman who says "Hey this is good! It just needs more salt!" (as if bacon isn't salty enough??)
