"David Firth: One day I was playing guitar and for some reason (co writer) Crust told me I have Salad Fingers. Later his name on MSN was "Salad Fingré" "Fingré" being our term for sticking two fingers up at people (very similar to the American middle finger) We were discussing flash cartoon making and he said I should make a film about a man who likes to touch rusty spoons (he wasn't really serious) but I made it anyway......"
