And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Sprats? I'm tempted to spring for these just to see what a "sprat" might taste like.
I buy those all the time at a Russian/Ukrainian store near me where English is a second language. They are outstanding, lightly Smokey flavored, sardine like fish. Any small fish can qualify as a sprat.
Russian wife makes sprat/sardine sandwiches for holiday parties, brave souls are first to try but soon becomes hit of every party. Extended family members now ask in advance if she plans to make them.
Cut French bread into slices. Toast bread. rub down with garlic like a cheese grater. Spread mayo. Add one fish (pref tail removed), tomato piece, cucumber piece, sprig of dill. Enjoy
I kinda wish ya would, for information's sake.
ReplyDeleteI think a "sprat" is a sardine with pretensions of grandeur.

ReplyDeleteThose are good ones - go for it. Sprats are not as fishy as sardines.
