Is it just me or can anybody else vividly remember the mother saying "There's fish fingers in the microwave, heat them up if you get hungry"? Well I'm watching the film with my niece and she only says "There's fish fingers in the microwave" Did the edit it out for the DVD or is it the Mandela effect? I searched it up and other people thought the same.

I saw some GIFs as though it had been turned into a meme at some point, but I even went back to the screenplay and it just isn't there.

I watched it on bluray recently and I'm sure that line is still in the movie. I'm gonna take another check soon.

In the movie I've watched, there are two scenes where the mother leaves to play bingo. In the first scene she's talking about "soup" and "heating it up if you get hungry", in the second scene it is about "fish fingers in the microwave".
(Then you see Matilda take a pan with a can of Campbell soup in it and throw it away. She then makes pancakes).
(Then we see Matilda looking through the telephone directory and she walks ten blocks to the library).
I hope this answers the question. Unless you have another version.

Ah Wonder2Wonder, that must be it. Thank you, but do you know what I even said to my sister finish the line "There's fish fingers in the microwave" and she finished "heat them up if you get hungry!" I guess it's just one of those things people commonly misremember.

It's an easy mistake, the scenes are right next to each other.
