A nice easy riddle to start the day with.
I'm a slap from a tasty fish!
I make a wholesome sausage sandwich.
You'll find me in a ship,
washing a pig to the tune of a flower and a rooster!
What am I?

$\begingroup$ These are slightly older English terms for saying something was nonsense, i.e "That was pure poppycock" as in "That was rubbish", or "Hogswash!" as in "Nonsense!" $\endgroup$ – Olly Jun 2 '16 at 16:00
