Ideas for fish pie or anything to boost brain cells.

[nipper]

Hi, with a husband who is allergic to fish, I was wondering if any one has a recipe to try and get me and my two children and possibly mindees to get more fish oils/omega three into us? Hopefully something that I could pass off as 'tuna' (which ds will eat). I am finding my joints are getting really stiff (especially my knees) and think I now need to try and eat more oily fish, with the added benefits that it provides for children in terms of 'improved' brain function and better concentration and possibly behaviour.

Any ideas would be appreciated, oh and I don't do supplements either.

I fry a little onion then add milk and couple of cans of tuna to pan - cook through - put in a pie dish and top with mash potato and a little cheese either pop in oven or under grill to brown off top

told my own DD it was chicken until some bright spark told her it was tuna and then she said she didn't like it

For my fish pie I use cod, smoked haddock and salmon (think only the salmon is an oily fish though), I poach them in little milk for few minutes - take out and put in pie dish, use the milk to make a cheese sauce, season with salt and pepper, parsley - cook some carrots & peas - gently mix together everything - add mashed potato on top.
Sometimes I add cooked prawns and hard boiled eggs.

If you like fish and rest of family don't, you could have tinned sardines on toast when they have egg or cheese on toast.

My joints go through phases of being stiff and aching - I find swimming helps, stretching, sometimes take honegar which is honey & cider vinegar you buy it in Holland & Barratt - the explorer Raldolph Fiennes swears by it - pity it doesn't ward off frost bite though!

I'm loving the fact that you tell your children that meat they don't like is chicken we have always done it with our children - we told our daughter that beef was chocolate chicken and when asked by my daughter if the lamb on her plate was lamb lamb (I didn't have to ask what she meant - LOL) - I said Nooo its meat lamb. - I now tell all mindees that whats on their plate is what they say they only eat LOL - I do confess after once they have admitted to liking it LOL

i don't eat venison as can't bring myself to eat deer ... plus i don't like the taste.

a few years back my mum had made a casserole and INSISTED i had some ... to keep the peace i did, but didn't like it much. however, again, to keep the peace i said it was nice, but i was full. at which point she grinned and said ' HA! you DO like venison, i knew you did, you've just eaten it & said it was nice ' !!! i said i hadn't really liked it, but was just being polite, ( plus i knew she would have had a strop if i'd said anything else!!!! :rolleyes: yes, and she is a grown adult !!!! ) to this day, she still tells me '' YOU do like venison '' !!!! on a par with '' you do like fishfingers, you always used to eat them '' ... yes, because there was no alternative! if i could ever avoid them i would and still do !!! ( is there a YUCK smiley??!!! )

Try tuna pasta bake? The kids here love it because i break up crisps and sprinkle them over the top along with grated cheese once ready.
