I think he's talking about the cheesy snack called "Goldfish".

That's them, they come in a jar.
Pandora, you opened it and can't put the emenations back in the box. Do you now understand why cooking and questions are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but should be considered. Hi, Ted Bundy, What are you doing in Miami?

excuse me - but in "my" day - goldfish were consumed - if they were alive they went down easy - if they got stuck in your throat - they were dead

it was a big thing for the guys (and some girls) to do........

not me - goldfish swim in circles in a little bowl and you feed them daily - they are not to be downed with a beer

and by the way - beer was invented for making beer batter fish and beer batter onion rings

Agreed, the water was boiled to make ale, not beer. Then it was safe to drink. Even kids had it with all meals, if their parents loved them. Evidentaly it worked or we would not be playing this modern charade. Thank the higher powers for two row barley.
