Sardines

[keegs]

I usually take a salad for lunch to work ...a few different kinds of lettuce, some cabbage, carrots, radish, celery....and I put a topper on, a variety of cheeses, sometimes leftover chili or lentils, maybe some leftover pasta..

A few months ago I decided to try some sardines as a topper and discovered....dang...they're good. I'm not setting any trends at work... most wrinkle their nose when they see what I'm eating and the smell if you get close is fragrant fishy. :licking:

The local grocer carries a number of different brands of sardines. I'm liking the King Oscar brand in olive oil right now. There's another brand from Morocco that's pretty good also in olive oil.

Anyone else like sardines? What do you have them with? what kind to you buy?

Lately I've been eating a can of sardines with crackers instead of a sandwich when I'm working nights. Makes a decent meal without eating too much. Don't have to worry about having too much company while you're eating. Local stores carry the Beachcliff, Brunswick and King Oscar brands. The King Oscar Kippered herring is pretty good.

Love sardines. I even had them on pizza - pretty good. Also similar in taste can be smoked mackerel.

You can mix sardines with chopped onion and margarine to make decent spread, options are basically limitless.

Sardines with saltines! :thumbsup:

There's no way my wife will eat a sardine; even hates to smell them. So I don't have them very often, but I do like them with saltines. A little cheese and onion goes good with them, too. 46-50 years ago, when I worked 9:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., I used to carry them to work. But I've never tried using sardines any way except just eating them right out of the can with some crackers.

Sardines? I thought you were supposed to open the can, empty and drain off the liquid and then eat the can with a saltine chaser!:laughing: Have I been doing it wrong?

Yes, sardines (and especially anchovies) fall into the category of "What is good is not good for you".
