E. Robert Kinney, former CEO of General Mills and inventor of the fish stick passed away recently at age 96. As a major-league consumer of the fish product food during my childhood (along with Spam and fried baloney) I owe a debt of gratitude to this man who provided me and my siblings with an easy meal that seems to have provided enough nutrition to get me to age 59.
I am no longer a consumer of fish sticks, having moved on to higher end foods such as frozen chicken patties and tater tots but I will always remember the taste and texture of the fish sticks (or fish-things as we have called them in the past here in the Grouch family).

Fish things- I had totally forgotten we called them that.
