Are we entirely sure that "fish fingers and custard" isn't the name of a '70s detective duo? Detective Fish Fingers lives on the edge, always breaking the rules. Detective Custard is the no-nonsense, plays-by-the-book cop. Together, they're unstoppable. I'd tune in for that. If there's anything television needs it's more cop shows.
In reality, fish fingers and custard is the salty, fishy, yet sweet treat that is apparently very delicious. This is something I've eaten when I accidently thought that the custard was dijon mustard. What a rude awakening, but surprisingly delicious. It's just not so delicious when you think you're about to taste something else. It's like when you think you're about to drink a bottle of water, but then you find out it's a bottle of vodka you hid because of your secret alcoholism.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
