What’s a fingerling?
News flash
Google doesn't know everything! A woman tweeted a picture of a piece of lamb she'd cooked saying that she'd eaten it with roasted fingerlings which were not pictured.
I knew the name sounded familiar but my only experience of them was the above cute toy. I asked her what they were and she tweeted back that I could find out on Google so I asked Google 'what's a fingerling' and I got the above pic!
I tweeted her the pic jokily asking if she'd eaten the cute toys, hoping she'd laugh and then tell me what she'd actually eaten. She liked the tweet but nothing so I asked Alexa 'What's a fingerling?'
Alexa told me that a fingerling is either a type of small fish or something small. I figured she didn't eat wee fish with lamb because that would be gross - although the lamb was cooked with something called bacon dripping gravy so maybe!
I was no closer to finding out and it bugged me a bit not to know, so I thought I'd ask the lovely WA community, I started this post and typed fingerling into the picture finder expecting a picture of the cute toy or wee fish but instead the single pic that came up was this:-
Well, that answered my question! I thought it was funny how I finally came by the answer so I decide to post anyway and now I can get on with my day knowing that no cute toys were harmed in the making of one woman's Sunday lunch!
Hope you're all having a fab day😁

I guess there is the food version of the meaning, potatoes and also the new finger monkey toy... ha! Ha!
Looks like the current trend is the toy.
Hiya Stanley,
The thought of someone roasting those cute toys made me keep looking😆

Oh, right -- I read your post and immediately thought of fish, as that's what we call baby ones. I forgot about the French fingerlings, which are one of my favorite potatoes to grow. Lol...
I’m a terrible gardener but some potatoes grew in spite of me last year and made me feel like a farmer, lol. Don’t think they were fingerlings tho’😁
Yes, I have seen recipes for fingerling potato’s. Fingerling—small potatoes.
Take care

At first I thought it was the ramblings of a hormonal teenage boy (something rude) now I know... thank goodness for that... ha ha
The things WA know never ceases to amaze.. 😉
Why Cordelia😳methinks you need to clean your glasses! I’ve been called a few things in my time but a hormonal teenage boy is a new one😂
Nice to hear from you, hope you’re well
Caroline😁
Cordelia, I hear what you say, my android phone was in the same mood too. I struggled to get past the autocorrect because it kept on wanting to delete the "l"....I had to read the finished sentence twice before I pressed save!😂😂

As I am easily amused (not unlike a hormonal teenage boy) I asked Alexa ‘What is fingering?’ Her reply 😂😂😂 “Fingering is defined as the act of a person who fingers!” - I had to share 😂😂😂
Ha ha 😂
I'll settle for that Caroline!!
