Seahorse?

I found a dead bluebottle in the middle of a fishfinger once - I haven't eaten one since.

Could have been worse I suppose, could have been alive..

I've had chips in a sandwich, and fishfingers in a sandwich. But never a pie.

Pie sandwiches?? that's just wrong. I do like a banana sandwich though.

A muffin roll?

No!!

A barm cake is what us northerners call a muffin

Or a roll

Or a bun

Or a bap

Mmmmmm baps...

But a muffin is totally different to a bread rollllll.

A delicacy from Bolton, UK. It is any form of pasty/pie(though often your basic meat & potato) sandwiched on a (preferably buttered) barm cake. Available at all good Hampsons & Greenhalgh's stores in Bolton, though elsewhere in the country often requires specific instructions in the construction. You do lose some flavour of the pasty/pie, but you increase the munch factor. Pie barms can also be a messy eat.

Hampsons employee: "Yes cock, what wouldst tha like?"

You: "Steak pasty barm please"

Employee: "alreet kid that's £1.20 please"
You: "ta love"

I've always been suspicious of the contents of a fish finger. Don't
suppose it's horse but ... what?

I'd imagine whiting or something. I remember briefly thinking as kid that it was flake.

Because I just woken up but my brain is still half asleep, I thought you meant a jellyfish. In Australia a blueblottle is known as a type of jellyfish, not a fly.
