It's after two o'clock and I haven't had lunch yet even though I had little breakfast, so I'm very hungry and I get peevish when I'm hungry.
I just bought some Gorton's Fish Sandwich Fillets. The package shows a nice golden brown fish square nestled in a bed of bright green lettuce, topped with bright red sliced tomatoes, and creamy tartar sauce. The fish fillet is so big, it can't be contained by the seeded bun but overlaps it all around. It looks delicious.
I'm fixing a couple of lunch now and it would be so nice to serve such an appetizing sandwich. But, alas, I don't know where they got such tiny little buns. The frozen fish portions are only 2 3/4 inches. After cooking they probably won't be more than 2 1/2 inches. They certainly aren't going to overlap any bun I might have. Two of them won't even cover an average slice of bread.
The picture on the package of a fish square outside the bun is about the actual size, but it's set at an angle which makes it look bigger. Not to mention that it also practically dwarfs the bun.
Such "advertising" may serve to entice me to buy the product the first time, but it does nothing to make me want to buy any more of the product in the future.
I'll let you know how it tastes after lunch.
Post script - After lunch: Well the crunchy parts were crunchy and the fish was edible. Two squares fit on a slice of Italian bread.
