I'm not much of a cook, if I can't use a skillet, I normally don't do it.  I cook bacon, eggs, and potatoes.  If I'm lucky, i have an onion and bell pepper to add to the mix.  So with this knowledge, i baseline my culinary skills.

When I was a kid, I'd eat sardines with my grandfather, and i'm not sure if I liked them, or the fact that eating them grossed everybody else out.

flash forward to the past several years, I'd buy a can of "fish steaks" thinking what's the difference, but today, I spied "brisling sardines" in the store, so I bought a few cans.

This is good stuff!  i ate one tin, and want to eat the other!

Sardines and crackers.  I wish my grandfather were still here so I could enjoy some with him.

I like them too, probably because my Dad would eat them when he took me fishing.

BT,

Sometimes the fish we were catching in the creek were not as big as the sardines!

They are good, too, with a little mustard on them.

For some reason my sardine eating was always associated with having a good time somewhere, either fishing or hunting.  It would be kinda hard for me to separate sardines too far from Vienna sausage.

PatD and I had walked 3 miles from our base camp to a favored elk hunting spot and spied a discarded Kippered Snack tin.  That was a first for us because neither of us knew what it was.  Several days later we both started laughing in a grocery store.  There on the shelf was Kippered Snacks.  We bought a couple of cans, and they were good.  (It disgusts me to find where careless folks leave trash in the outdoors, work sites, or anywhere.)   :-\

I was born and raised Catholic. Dad had his own pork and beef butchered, so the only time I ever got to eat fish was if we caught it, or during Lent. Maybe eating fish was supposed to be some sort of penance; to me, it was a real treat. We always had sardines during Lent. At that time there were the ones in mustard, and the ones in tomato sauce. Now I occasionally get a few cans of the ones in hot sauce.

We used to eat sardine sandwiches as kids, mostly to gross out my sisters.  :D

Sardines, crackers, Vienna sausage, pork and beans, and canned tomato juice were iron rations in college, particularly on field trips.

My wife does not like me eating sardines in the house, so, it is still a "field" item.

There was another thread about this a few years ago;  fellow of my acquaintance got married back in the '50s;  a couple of his 'friends' dumped a couple of cans of sardines on the manifold of his car;  the happy couple left for their honeymoon and drove for a long time before either worked up the nerve to ask about the smell..................each thinking perhaps it was their new spouse.
Here's to us and those like us; DanG few of us left!

I've got Sardines in my Fireplow unit dating back to 1988. I'm scared to eat them now.
I'll probably open them up one day and they'll look like someone I know.....like Willie Nelson.  :D

I'll just list them on Ebay!

My best friend got married a few weeks ago and the wives of a few of the groomsmen felt obliged to decorate the newlyweds home a little while we were all busy with pictures.  The first thing the newlyweds found upon returning home were 2 empty sardine cans on the counter with a note that said "hide and seek, guess where we are" above them with a little arrow pointing to the empty cans  ;D.  I love sardines, oysters, smoked oysters, heck even mountain oysters, so I just couldn't believe it when the gals said they actually fed the sardines to Jingle the dog instead of getting out the saltines and eating them.  ::)

So then Jingles the dog leaves them "jingled" all around the house.  ::) ::)

Ah, mountain oysters. We used to have mountain oyster feeds and have catfish frys at the same time. Back in the day, just out of high school. Invariably, there would be some girl there that we would convince she was eating catfish strips and not mountain oysters. Then someone would tell her the truth. It has been rumored I was the instigator of some of these incidents.

Might surprise you to learn I got slapped a time or two, or more. Some of em could swing pretty darned hard.

A yes sardines. I consider them a delicacy myself. And still only a buck a can. ;D 8)

The brand up here is Connors Bros. (Brunswick). Remember the TV show Northern Exposure? Well cans of Connors Bros. sardines could be seen in their store in many episodes. ;D

It's a good chance they were canned in my area Yarmouth Nova Scotia. My BIL owns the factory now.

Look under products and private label to see which one you had.

I like them in mustard sauce.  :)   

I used keep a few tins in my locker on the ship when I was on sea duty.  I'd break them out on the mid-watch when the sea was a little rough and the new Jr officers were on watch.  Nothing like a couple sardines between ritz crackers to send them out to hang over the rails.  :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D
Been there, done that.   Never got caught [/b]

I like em because they are "packed like sardines" in the little flat can.

Bob,

Somehow, that makes sense  :).

No, beenthere, unfortunately Jingle is not allowed in the house.  However, had I been there instead of getting my mug shot fifteen times he may very well have been a house dog for a day at least  ;D.

My friends and I have an annual Spring camping and trout fishing trip in the North Georgia Mountains.  When I go trout fishing, I always carry some sardines for lunch.  It is a tradition.  So even if I don't catch any trout, I have my fish  :).

Here, we refer to mountain oysters a little bit different.   :D
