Giving a new meaning to fast food...

[tree_and_leaf]

KFC have introduced a fish product for Lent, and are seeking a product endorsement from the Pope.

S. Peter recommends the fish?

I'm not sure what the appropriate response to this, other than I will eat a surplice† if Benedict goes for it... I mean, as a good German, if he's going to endorse fishy fast-food joints, it surely ought to be Nordsee?

† Easier to find than mitres, especially in my neck of the woods

Nice Mr Slope icon there! From Slope to Snape via Mesmer in one lifetime, eh?

Cassock to cassock in three decades...

Amazing, eh. I was shocked, on rereading Barchester Towers, to discover that canon!Slope had red hair. I always see him as Rickman..

Oh, Nordsee--the McDonald's of fish!

They're better than MacDonalds - the fish nuggets are predictably awful, but the Bismarkhering sandwiches are decent enough.

(excuse me while I giggle a bit at 'MacDonalds'. sorry)

Oh, totally. But we got a huge kick out of calling them that anyways. :)

oops - force of habit?

Probably counts as slander on a noble clan - excuse me while I hide from the claymore-wielding islanders...

I've walked past a few Nordsee places (plaices???) in my time but strangely my husband never seems to want to go in.....

I;ve eaten in them wehn there was really no alternative - as I've said above, I think they are a good deal better than McDs, at least if you choose wisely.

It cod be he knows better ...

[tree_and_leaf]

In Cod we trust?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

The piece of cod that passeth all understanding ...

[tree_and_leaf]

That sounds suspiciously like what we get in Hall on Friday lunchtimes :)

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

That would presumably be fried cod, then, for a fried-day?

Now thank we all our Cod...

Groan!

That icon is brilliant! Although perhaps it should be Stephen's feet sticking up and Awkward Davies hauling him out by one ankle.

[tree_and_leaf]

I can take no credit (alas, I can't draw) - the icon is by numensule, who based it on art by culurian. I like yours, too!

Fast food indeed. Ridiculous.
There`s no way B16 agrees with this.

I wonder if they had the nerve to ask this from JP2, if he was still alive. I don`t think so.

If you`ll have to eat a surplice, I`ll eat an alb, out of solidarity.

I don't think we need to worry, fortunately!

I'd imagine that the Pope's secretaries have to deal with a lot of odd mail, but that really is just rude - and sounds like the punchline to a bad joke.†

†In fact, there is a bad joke about the Vatican accepting sponsorship for the line in the Lord's Prayer from Hovis... but that's beside the point.
