I really like to dip my fish in apple sauce, not tartar sauce. One thing that is interesting, in America we buy apple sauce in giant jars, but here the only apple sauce you can find is in super tiny glass jars. I basically have to buy one of these for each fish meal I eat, because they are so damn tiny. :roll:

it was a habit I developed as a kid, my mom would give me fish sticks and apple sauce because for obvious reasons, most kids prob don't like tartare sauce, I do like it now to be fair, I generally switch between the two :laugh:

Ok, cool. Different strokes. I meant no offense of course. Just never heard of that one. I do like apple sauce and peanut butter toast sandwiches

Over here, apple sauce is mostly used as garnish for a Sunday roast, mostly pork. It's not your main dish by any means.
 
Ive heard of Apple sauce being used on lamb as well.

::EDIT::

In other news... thats almost one SSD paid for.

Mint sauce is definitely the way to go for lamb.

Although I have also heard of horseradish sauce being served with it. Anything that adds some tang/acidity
 
Are there any good temp agencies in the UK? Looks like I may extend my visa and might look for work through a temp agency for some extra income.

In USA temp agencies can be hit or miss, not sure if it's same here or not. I know that after 7 visits since 2010, I do like it here though enough I want to be here for an extended stay, I have bonded with my friend, and the dog we raised together in 2022, I can't bare to leave her at this point. She is the best dog in the world, so yeah, going to settle down.

The one I was affiliated with for a while was called 'Manpower'

REED also do temporary jobs but Manpower used to be one of the more widely known ones.

Im not sure about others. Most job search sites will also have temp job listings. Otherwise there is always deliveroo/ubereats etc :laugh:

Nah, I am not doing any delivery stuff, I don't like driving much, even in America I don't like driving much.

Those will get me started thanks, I would prefer to avoid Indeed, etc. and just go straight to temp agency websites. Those meta job search sites are typically a waste of time in America.
 
Manpower used to deal in a lot of temping work back in the day. I'm not sure if they are big on it as they used to be

Also Its worth checking online if there is a branch near you. Quite often its easier to walk in and tell them the kind of work youre looking for rather than going via the 'apply online' search route. If i remember correctly. Back then there were different departments that dealt with different sides of the business. One focused on more corporate roles while the other was more about general temping like youre helping a big removals company move some stuff from one office to the next etc. Manpower used to deal with a lot of Royal Mail jobs aswell but I think RM has their own 'recruitment agency' deal with it

It depends on your area. In the Midlands, there's lots of agencies and lots of work, although you have to be careful which company they send you to work with. Some of them like firing temporary staff after Christmas and/or when business slows down and re-hiring them when it picks up. Some of them offer so-called temp-to-perm positions which means you automatically get a company contract with guaranteed working hours after 3-6 months of agency work. Those are the ones to look for, imo.

@lexluthermiester I met a girl this week in the UK, native English lass about same age as me. She dips her oven baked fish and fried fish take out.... in... wait for it...

ketchup. When I asked her if she wanted tartar sauce, she seemed quite offended too, lmao

I have to say, my apple sauce might be strange, but NO NO NO keep ketchup away from fish, lmao everyone likes different things I guess. :roll:

Fair enough. It's kinda like the debate about Pineapple on pizza. Some love it(right here!) and some don't. It's all good man. You do what you enjoy! It's doesn't matter what the rest of us think. We tease but not out of malice. :toast:

I just recently watched a video on making fried eggs by a famous chef who made them exactly the way I don't like them - cooked over low heat with the white being soft and steamed over the yolk. I like mine cooked over high heat with the edge of the white sightly brown but the yolk still not fully set.

So yep, we're all different, we all like different things... Until it comes to pineapple on pizza which is simply weird and should have never been invented. :D (just kidding) :)

Favourite brand of mine. As it says on the packet, genuine Italian pizza.

This is blasphemy on oven baked fish. All you need is a little butter, some ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.

I might try this next time, sounds good honestly. I have some different brands of garlic butter, actual butter this time too. That might be quite nice indeed, thanks for the idea!

If youre cooking it on a baking tray, just cover the top in tin foil. (you can also wrap the fish in tin foil along with everything else...) It will stop the meat from drying out and allow the fish to cook in its own juices. you can forgo the squeeze of lemon until after the fish has cooked but thats more of a personal preference thing. There is no right or wrong way when it comes to lemon.
