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.

Reader Recommended. I've had some too, and they are indeed good. Wanna be wild? Try a sprat and liverwurst sandwich, with mayo and mustard. Taste overload.
Said it on post gone by, and say it again. Russian wife makes these every large family holiday. At first everyone was afraid to try, now they ask in advance if she will bring them.
French bread sliced up, rub garlic over the bread, spread mayo over it,
Add one sprat, one sprig of dill, one bit of cucumber, one bit of tomato.
What are sprats called in America? Bristling | Spiny, Armored, Nocturnal | Britannica bristling, also spelled Brisling, also called Sprat, (Sprattus sprattus), edible fish of the herring family Clupeidae (order Clupeiformes).
Had the Riga brand smoked sprats in olive oil, not the Gold and they were OK. Get the same fish at your local Walmart labeled 'MW Polar' in a round tin with a see thru plastic lid for about a couple of bucks. Not bad, product of Latvia not China.
Had a Lithuanian buddy turn me on to sprats years ago. Beats the hell out of sardines.
ReplyDeleteJack Sprat could eat no fat

I like to eat the fish and then dip homemade bread into the oil and sop it all up too.
ReplyDeleteLost me at canola oil.
