Do you eat sardines?

I know sardines are really healthy and I bought a lot to give to my dogs also however it is a food I have in the pantry but keep forgetting to have for lunch on a sandwich.

I quite like them mixed with chopped tomatoes, and/or cream cheese.

Don't know why I forget them -perhaps as I generally have the same cheese on my bread each day with salad!

I haven't had any for many years,but when I was kid,we often would enjoy the very good quality ones on toast for brunch of a weekend.This was because Dad was home then and he would prepare them with fresh tomato,very finely chopped onion,and a touch of black cracked pepper!! There was always a piece of lemon on our plates as well. Hmmmm.... haven't thought of these for ages!!! Thanks Finy, for these lovely childhood memories!!
And by the way,I do LOVE the FRESH ones which we could get from the markets when I was a kid. Fresh ones are scrumptious!

Nope. Dog food.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!

That's what I say about tuna - though I say it's cat food!

I buy Brunswick for the dogs. Fatty gets them in springwater and Skinny gets them in oil. (real names not used to protect the innocent) Hahahahahaha. A couple of years ago I had 160 tins of them. "Somebody" found them for $1 a tin and bought the lot. It still doesn't make me want to eat any :(

Hi Rice, That's a suburb in Melbourne! Are u still getting though all of those $1 tin cans? Or were they only for 'Fatty' & 'Skinny' to gruff down?

I remember my grandmother eating these when I was a child. I don't think I could stomach them just because I prefer my food to look less like the animal it is. Hypocritical, I know.

Yup. Fish is fish and always looks like fish :( I can't even catch them, I feel so sorry for them.

Me either, Rice. Me either.

No thank you !!!

Yes, I enjoy them on Toast. Must be the type in Tomato though. Hate oil or spring water ones'.

by donjo

Me too. If no sauce available I might consider lemon juice or something similar BUT I do believe that are very good for you --same as any fish and the bones are a good source of calcium for your bones. Seem old fashioned now, but so is Hypol. They are an oldie but a goodie. And very cheap too.

I like quality sardines and usually eat them with lemon juice and freshly ground pepper with whole grain toast
very tasty

I bought fresh sardines and cooked them myself a couple of time. They were delicious.
The tinned ones are good on toast but nothing like fresh ones. I rarely eat them.

Ahhh my childhood favorite. I love them drained from oil and mashed with salt, pepper and vinegar on toast. For some reason though I don't think they taste as good now as they did then.

by helga

Yes - I like the ones in tomato. Don't eat them too often, but I do enjoy them.

by poppy

Yes, occasionally. Should do more often. A friend taught me to make them more palatable by draining the liquid, sprinkle some spice and chilli Powder, leave it to marinate for a few minutes, then shallow fry in a little oil. Goes well with rice & lentils.

I love sardines. I like the tiny tins of King Oscar sardines. I just mash them onto toast. If I didm;t have toast, I just eat them out of the tin. They must be in oil and a little salt sprinkled on them.
They are very, very good for you - probably because the bones are still in them.
HOWEVER, I have been told to avoid them if you have any susceptibility to gout.
But love them I do.

I eat sardines on multi grain toast for breakfast a couple times a week and love them.

Years & years ago, I used to eat them on toast with a sprinkling of curry powder on them, but I haven’t eaten them since then, even though I’ve had a couple of tins of them in my pantry as well, for a few years now!

by miro_

Sorry, it was only 1 tin of sardines in the pantry. I have now used it in 2 sandwiches, but I won't be buying anymore asI didn't like it as much as I used too.

Yes, Miro . . . He found a second lot on special and I now have sardines to last into the next millenium!! LOL . . . still only dogs eating them and I sneak some to my lovely neighbour for her cat and dog too. :-)))))))))))))))))))))

Yes, in a sandwich, if you add a bit of tomato sauce the smell of the sardine is not so strong.

by Bubz Life

Love sardines. Specially in sandwiches.
