Are fish cakes....erm...cakes?

[Crawley Boy]

Well it says they are on the box!

Its like the 'cheesecake' conundrum isn't it. A fish-cake combo sounds disgusting, but the reality is that they're really quite nice when you drench them in vinegar.

I'm not keen on icing though.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Cheese? In a cake?

It's WRONG.

I love Fishcakes though, especially the proper processed ones you get. Mmmmmmmmm.

 

[nail-Z]

Not sure about fish cakes without fish though?

[Braders]

That's what a Google image search does for you.

How about these then?

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Blatantly not. Unless it's a conventional cake, with a fish on top. Which would be lovely.

Ah but Fish Cakes with Garlic Ice Cream could be well nice.

Dictionary says ...

1. A sweet baked food made of flour, liquid, eggs, and other ingredients, such as raising agents and flavorings.
2. A flat rounded mass of dough or batter, such as a pancake that is baked or fried.
3. A flat rounded mass of hashed or chopped food that is baked or fried; a patty.
4. A shaped or molded piece, as of soap or ice.
5. A layer or deposit of compacted matter: a cake of grime in the oven.


I'm not convinced it's any of those ... maybe 3, but that doesn't explain the breadcrumbs.

Interesting fact.... I've never seen fish cakes in any fish and chip shop anywhere in Scotland!
