Fish heads fish heads
Rolly polly fish heads
Fish heads fish heads
Eat them up, yum

The fish head song Barnes and Barnes

Stock cubes can be a pretty insidious and unexpected source of fodmaps. They often contain things like onion or garlic powder, creeping up where you least expect them. Obviously we are going to need stocks for many of the dishes on this site. The good news is that home made stock is easy, efficient and generally more tasty than that from cubes. Witness the bizarre catheter bags of stock that one can purchase for exorbitant prices from supermarkets these days!
