They don't have "gudgeon tansy" parties do they? That would be so Victorian...

Yummy! Gudgeon tansy.
Mrs Beeton has an easy gudgeon recipe (not that I would condone it!) :o

GUDGEONS.

261. INGREDIENTS.-- Egg and bread crumbs sufficient for the quantity of fish; hot lard.

Mode.-- Do not scrape off the scales, but take out the gills and inside, and cleanse thoroughly; wipe them dry, flour and dip them into egg, and sprinkle over with bread crumbs. Fry of a nice brown.

Time.-- 3 or 4 minutes.

Average cost. Seldom bought.

Seasonable from March to July.

Sufficient, 3 for each person.


THE GUDGEON.-- This is a fresh-water fish, belonging to the carp genus, and is found in placid streams and lakes. It was highly esteemed by the Greeks, and was, at the beginning of supper, served fried at Rome. It abounds both in France and Germany; and is both excellent and numerous in some of the rivers of England. Its flesh is firm, well-flavoured, and easily digested.
