Fish Fingers and Custard Day

Fish Fingers and Custard Day is an annual American holiday commemorating the most famous episode of the television series Doctor Who. Of course, many people would call the combination of fish meat and dessert disgusting, but since then there have been many fans of this combination! The holiday is celebrated on April 3.

History

The opening episode of season 5 of the television series shows a scene where the doctor, played by the famous actor Matt Smith, devours fish sticks with cream with gusto. According to the plot, Smith’s character meets Amelia Pond and quickly finds common ground with her. After regenerating, he asks the girl to cook him something. However, the dish does not satisfy the doctor’s desire and he goes to the refrigerator, where he finds fish sticks and custard.

Such an unusual scene from the TV series gave rise to a new culinary alliance, whose fans proposed the creation of Fish Fingers and Custard Day. The idea was approved by the BBC and today we can enjoy or hate this dish, but the popularity of the holiday will not decrease in any way!
