Beetroot or Coconut Fingers?

May 5, 2010 Manuel 39 Comments

There are two types of people – fine upstanding individuals with taste and style who appreciate the magnificence of the coconut finger and then there are those “people” who like beetroot. I need to know how many of the Well Done Fillet readership prefer the ghastly beetroot over the sweet sticky loveliness of a coconut finger as it appears some of you appear to like the root of all evil.

It’s important, probably the most important poll of the week.

Poll created by YouGov (hence the bias, heh)

    Does this count as a vote or do I still have to go to the polling station tomorrow?

  2. Manuel 4 months ago  

    this counts….more

  3. Fawksie 4 months ago  

    I like both, but I’m going to betray my culchie upbringing and insist on referring to them as “donkey’s lugs” :P

  4. Plongeur 4 months ago  

    What if I like both?!

  5. Andino 4 months ago  

    Before I vote… Is a coconut finger like an iced finger with added coconut bits? If yes then this becomes a difficult choice and I could end up on the fence.

  6. Manuel 4 months ago  

    there’ll be no liking both….don’t even think about it…and yes Andino that’s exactly what a coconut finger is…the coconut is added my angels singing Cure songs….nice

    Sign me up for the coconut fingers then. I might have to attempt to make some as North Wales seems to be a coconut finger free zone.

    Oh my, those coconut fingers do look tasty. I was picturing something more akin to a Bounty bar or a Summer roll. Hmmmm, I may need to try one.

    Who gets hung if the vote ends in a draw?

  10. Kelly 4 months ago  

    Andino, let us know how that baking attempt goes, we don’t have em in Australia either!

    I’m no great fan of beetroot, but ruining a perfectly decent iced bun with coconut is sheer madness. Thankfully I’ve never seen such a monstrosity in England.

    coconut can chew my balls – fact, the whole thai people can fuck clean aff with what they did to curry the barbarians that they are. Beetroot – beetrooot is ace – beetroot, carrot and ginger juice is scrummy – yes scrummy – beetroot in salads, dry in coleslaw – its the versatility of beetroot, its the root to ‘beet’ them all as they probably say in the beetroot marketing offices.

    ps did you get any post off myself and herself?

  16. Manuel 4 months ago  

    oh and if it’s a hung vote the tories get in….and if they get in it’ll be beetroot for the masses and only tory toffs will get coconut fingers….it’s a grim future…

    toast: yer wrong….so so wrong…beet yourself with a shoe

  17. Manuel 4 months ago  

    I did Toast. Did I not email…oh crikey, how rude. AFL was superb, really really superb. LMM is gonna make me a sock monster thing…she doesn’t know it yet….heh

  18. Grandad 4 months ago  

    I demand to vote for both. A coalition vote.

  19. Manuel 4 months ago  

    now updated with unity candidate…..sake

  20. Grandad 4 months ago  

    Oy! What about coconut beetroot fingers?

  21. marv 4 months ago  

    That’s an easy choose … cake beets veg every time!

  22. mars 4 months ago  

    coconut finger hands down…. as long as its not one of the overbaked ones…. or stale…. i like em soft, squidgy, lightly browned and with a thick layer of butter in the middle…..

    cuppa cha and a coconut finger anyone….

  23. Medbh 4 months ago  

    Cocomut has the texture of packing crate material.
    Nasty.

  24. Heptaparaparshinokh 4 months ago  

    @ Kelly, think more along the lines of a finger bun…assuming that’s what they are called in your state. In south Oz, they are finger buns.

  25. Little Miss Manuel 4 months ago  

    Why cant u have a vote for all three?

  26. Erica 4 months ago  

    Listen, I LOVE beetroot.. But, I’ve never had a coconut ‘finger.’ But, I do love coconut. So therefore I had to choose the beetroot option, but if there were an option for both, I would probably have chosen it.

  27. rubbishknitter 4 months ago  

    sock monster thing! hmmph! it was quite plainly Medusa, she’s turned people to stone for less.

    i voted beetroot – i like both if i’m honest, but you can’t grow coconut fingers down the allotment. (god knows i’ve tried, but it seems to still just be mostly weeds.)

  28. cat 4 months ago  

    definate vote for the lovely coconut fingers, though smokey bacon crisps are very yumma

  29. Mark 4 months ago  

    Manuel,

    Coconut fingers are the brussels sprouts of cakes. Fact. End of.
    Wait, maybe they’re the cauliflower of cakes. You see where I’m going with this. Mouth breather cakes, that’s what they are, mouthbreather cakes!

    What brand of smokey bacon crips? This is important.

    PS on another note, Citeh lost, no champions league for them heh heh heh.

  30. Manuel 4 months ago  

    yes at the end of the day we can set aside our differences…put the bushels of beets down, bin the fingers and in unison take a great big deep breath and…

    LAUGH AT CITEH!

    hahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Good times!

  31. Little Miss Manuel 4 months ago  

    “CITEH” mighnt hav got into champions league but oh sorry did the other manchester team get into final? Eh?eh?mayb the cousin should sell me his ticket to Madrid!!

  32. Manuel 4 months ago  

    ha….maybe we do something about your spelling tomorrow…hehehehe

  33. Kelly 4 months ago  

    Brussels sprouts! Now those are a special brand of evil. Ghastly things.

    Hepta: Yeah,thanks. I’ve seen similar, we call em finger buns or sticky fingers in Melbourne. I’ll have to add my own coconut though, as they just come topped with icing!

  34. andrea 4 months ago  

    I was certainly going for the coconut iced finger bun until I saw the crispy bacon! So, no vote from me.

  35. Stoney 4 months ago  

    Kelly, forget about the finger buns and adding coconut, go large and get yourself a Boston bun. You know it makes sense!

    awesome

  37. Stephan 4 months ago  

    Never even HEARD of “beetroot.” Is that somehow different from a plain old beet? Is it only found in Ireland? Sounds suspicious, frankly, and not at all tasty.

    Damn. I want all three!
