I Like Sardines

[Texas Star]

Do you eat sardines?
I like the Norwegian Brisling ones. Prefer the King Oscar brand, and my favorite packing is what they call their Mediterranean style. I also like the tomato packing and am trying to get my grocers to order the Dijon mustard pack.

I tried the olive oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, etc. and it's too oily/slimy and leaves a mess to clean up.

My mother used to buy a larger oval can of some other kind of sardine. Those like that that I see now come from Mexico.

I also like the sardines from Morocco. The oil they're packed in isn't as messy.

I eat 'em with whole wheat and peanut butter crackers or just plain crackers. It's a good quick snack before I go to bed or out to run an errand and haven' t time for a real meal. They go well as a snack on hunting or fishing trips, too. You can cram a can or two in your hunting coat and have food if you get lost overnight.

Never met a woman who liked them, so your wife will stay out of your stash in the kitchen cabinet.

Anyone else here like them?

Yea, I like them and most everything else. You can look at my waistline and see I don't cull much.

You're also right about most women I've known. My 1st wife wouldn't let me eat them inside without complaining. The cat loved me though!

I remember when my daddy would take my brother and I fishing, sardines,potted meat,lunch meat,and vienna sausages with soda crackers would be lunch.That and a Pepsi Cola or Coka Cola made for good eating.

I like sardines, preferably in mustard sauce, but I'll take them in tomato sauce or oil, too. Kippered herring, smoked oysters, and especially trout filets. Trader Joe's has some sardines and trout that are especially good. Smoked oysters, too. I like them on stone ground wheat crackers or Ry-Krisp, but best of all is plain old saltines.

Pickled herring is good too. The stuff in cream sauce is best. Herring on pumpernickel with some iced vodka is a real treat.

Many, many years ago, I had a girlfriend who liked sardine picnics in bed, but never since.

I like them. I also really like the smoked oysters. Usually eat them on whole wheat crackers.

I was born and raised on King Oscar sardines in olive oil. My wife has bought other brands and styles on sale, so I've tried them, but have told her nothing but King Oscar.

Then there's pickled herring. . . Ya sure, yu betcha! That's good stuff! I have made pickled northern -- it's good, but I prefer the herring.

I like them in mustard, also like to take the large Portuguese ones packed in oil blot them on a paper towel and eat them with shrimp cocktail sauce, with a cold beer really great.

With a slice of Dill Pickle. Also like the kippered snacks on crackers with onion.
And you are right. Women just won't eat them.

I love King Oscar brand...brings back so many memories when I was a kid. I like mine packaged in olive oil, and will buy a bag of Fresh Express Caesar Salad mix, and throw in the sardines, mix well, and I'm in 7th Heaven.

I also eat them right from the can with my favorite Amanoya Himemaru Arare Japanese Rice crackers.

I eat various kinds. like em fine. I was given some octerpus(sp?) in a can recently. I said I would test it out, reluctantly. It was rubbery & somewhat nasty. I had one or 2 & threw the rest out, leave it for the sharks.

 

[fat tom]

Yep. Sardines and kippered herring. Like a previous poster said:"I don't cull much".
f.t.

 

[Tenn2]

Yep! Love them. Also like the smoked oysters packed in similar cans. My wife hates them so I can leave them out and not have worry about her stealing them. Just put them on plain crackers.

That too; colossal smoked oysters with rice crackers is to die for.

 

[johngalt]

Tried them (I forget which brand) and didn't like them. No more eating bait for me.

 

[Onomea]

Kippered herring, sure, as well as smoked oysters. You bet. But the sardines.... Got some King Oscars in the cupboard and trying to work up my courage....

 

[jgh4445]

My favorite brand was/is 'Possum Brand. They don't make 'em any more.

I love Sil, especially the ones in the red wine brine,over hard boiled eggs with a little dill and sliced cucumber on country rye bread.

I guess I live in a backwards house. I cant stand sardines or smoked oysters. my wife loves sardines in mustard sauce.

She's from florida though and grew up in the swamp. She likes pickled sausages and pigs feet from the big jar in the local hardware store when we visit her kin folk down there.
