Amuse-bouche: Leon

Always one to enjoy a trend, The Blonde has thoroughly enjoyed the latest food fad to hit the FP (Fash Pack) offices. Forget that Diet-Coke-and-a-fag lunch break, it’s the humble fish finger, YES FISH FINGER, that’s making a comeback.

Brainchild of Leon, who have made “fast food” healthy with their super food recipes and organic ingredients, inducing an almost messianic loyalty amongst their clientele, this latest addition to their Spring menu is one to awaken your inner child. Having made it onto The Sunday Times Style’s Hot List and with hundreds of office canteens trying to recreate their own version across London, The Blonde estimates an average count of at least five Fish Finger Wraps circulating her own office at any one given time.

Crispy cod fingers (from sustainable Icelandic shoals of course) dressed with herb tartare, slices of pickle and fresh cos lettuce – it’s served up in their lightly warmed flatbread and comes in a heated tinfoil wrap. Fans of Birds Eye should look away now as at £3.60 it doesn’t come cheap, but Leon has nailed this guilty pleasure with just the right amount of indulgence, taste and the genuine belief that it’s actually good for you.

With an epic menu selection including Moroccon Meatballs, Smoked Mackerel and Beetroot Salad and Sweet Potato Falafel, The Blonde would like a chain of them please.

Additional comment: it also cures a stonking hangover without the post-McDonald’s comedown.
