British People: What The Hell is Fish Paste?

[gtopa1]

Could it be any worse than Vegemite?

Vegemite is good stuff; spread thickly. One of my Uni day meals was cheese, tomato, peanut butter and vegemite on buttered bread as sandwiches.....YUMMY!!!

A question that has bothered me for many years: what the hell is fish paste and why would somebody put it in a sammich?

British People seem to like it - Please 'Splain.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

It's fermented fish, and it usually is asian. The Brits put it between two slices of bread and call it a sandwich. Where I come from the fillings should be the bulk of the sandwich. A fish paste sandwich is like eating a mustard sandwich IMHO.

The Brit and Aussie versions are NOT fermented but I use quite a bit of Asian fish paste in my cooking. Top stuff BOTH....in their own ways.

I do admit I just assumed it was a similar preparation, they both smell rotted to me.

Which proves that Fish Paste is nasty and only eaten by the odd kids who sit in the corner in kindergarten.

Hmmmmm..being part Scandahoovian myself, this sounds like a close relation of Lutefisk (dehydrate dcod reconstituted with lye). Nasty disgusting stuff, imho,

BTW, I love it when obscure threads of mine from over a decade ago get bumped!

That picture reminds me of ham salad...which makes me want a ham salad sandwich

Simple Ham Salad

Ok, we need to talk. Remember when I said, I often make things I don't personally care for, because I just like to make all kinds of things...

I have never tried it. I try to keep the lye content of my diet as low as possible.

It’s called understatement.

We like jam (jelly to you) sandwiches also.

Would you believe, the Germans do fish paste too. Discovered it last week in the supermarket.

Wasn’t too bad.

I've spent time in and around london, "understatement" is an understatement when discussing english food.
