A fish tale ...
Those who know me well know that I have an unnatural affection for McDonald's Filet-O-Fish. This usually manifests itself late at night after I've had a few drinks, but I've also been known to indulge my Filet addiction at lunchtime. My most recent bout was during a 5 a.m. rampage in Las Vegas, but there was no Filet-O-Fish to be found. I had to settle for fried oysters. It wasn't the same ...
So it was with delight and submarine satisfaction that I found this story in USAToday about the birth of the Filet-O-Fish. Turns out, it was born the same year as I, and it was created to pander to Catholics who were trying to observe their Lenten rituals. Very cool. There even is a "Filet-O-Fish Facts" sidebar.

As my Lil'Veg would say... "If you eat fish do they swim in your belly"
Poor Fishies - but cool story!

And what did I see last time I stared down a menu board at Mickey D's? They now have a DOUBLE Filet O Fish, in a combo meal, no less.
Mmm, fish parts!
