Sardines

[The Dougster]

For many years, I worked as the engineer on a logging truck running tests on drilled wells... great and interesting job, but the problem was that I never knew how long I'd be on a well... maybe a few hours, maybe as much as 24-hours... I quickly learned to keep food on board that would not spoil or have to be refridgerated ... the answer was a box of crackers, a jar of peanut butter and several cans of sardines. Yup, people turned up their noses but when you are hungry, they were great..

I have always read that emergency supplies should be bad enough that no one would eat them willingly and just barely good enough that they can be eaten in a survival situation.

Keeps them available for when they are really needed.

Yeah, but you have to rotate them out once in a while, so you might as well stock up on something that lasts AND tastes good, too. :thumbsup:

Haha! Good one Doug! Not to mention that you had the logging truck all to yourself!

BTW, who "woulda thunk" little smelly fish would get so much gab?:laughing:

and word has it they make you more virile..

But its hard to get a date with sardine breath, so that cancels that out. :laughing:

Anyone harvest sardines with a tractor?

Those look pretty good ...did you dip them in something before they went on the grill? Is it a main course? What are you having with them?

It's a main course, the number varying with the size of the fish, generally with rice and a sauce made of melted butter and mustard. Before I put them on the grill, my wife puts a little olive oil and a generous helping of Mediterranian herbs on them. This will burn but leave a delicious flavour.

O.K. guys. It was requested that I use my pencil eraser and clean up some school boy talk that I was just as guilty of participating in as anyone else. Got to remember to keep it family friendly.

OK ..MossRoad...picture this then:

A man and a woman sitting in seperate bathtubs on the beach at sunset.. some soft music playing in the background ...sharing a can of sardines.

We'll leave the rest of what happens to the imagination.
