Mystery object



No prizes, but you are invited to use your skill, experience and analytical penetration to identify this mystery object.

  1. Is it a new type of adhesive applicator for use with tiles? A prototype from Homebase or B&Q, perhaps?

  2. It bears a horrible resemblance to something I unwillingly ingested some years ago in a McDonald's (long journey, appalling traffic jams and no other nearby source of sustenance - never again!); it purported to be fish but gave the distinct impression of chewing on a scouring pad of dubious vintage encased in a damp, clammy bath-sponge.

    However, to my (very reluctant) recollection, my (alleged) comestible was accompanied by a sort of wallpaper paste claiming to be tartare sauce, while your illustration shows mustard, so I am probably way off target.

    Thanks for putting me off my lunch!

  3. A K Haart,
    It looks suspiciously like a fried egg topped with fried bread and smothered in piccalilli sauce. If not, whatever it is, I NEED one! Okay, two...

  4. 1. Filet-O-Fish?
    2. Breaded, fried corned beef?

  5. A bap, Lorne sausage and mustard.
    Doonhamer.

  6. Sam - it certainly looks like it. A disposable applicator and cheerful yellow adhesive - sounds like a good idea.

    Macheath - sounds like a similar experience to ours. I didn't realise that the wallpaper paste is tartare sauce but it must be. I thought it might be Universal Mayo.

    Mac - probably okay without the "cheese" and the "tartare sauce". Not sure about attempting two though - one was enough.

    Sackers - spot on - Filet-O-Fish. I like the sound of your no. 2 though.

    Doonhammer - I had Lorne sausage in a bap when we visited St Abb's Head - delicious.

  7. You're all wrong.

    It's a specially enhanced picture of Diane Abbott beginning her three-times table.

    She has stalled at five...

  8. Scrobs - you mean what look like strings of mucus... no I think I'll stop there.
