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.
Okay, so, . . . what are we looking at here? Is this an expensive breakfast, at a fancy hotel (with an important chef, instructing about the, "presentation")?
That's one of the Spanish "tapas", namely "boquerones en aceite", or anchovies in (usually olive) oil in English. Tapas is a traditional afternoon snack in Spain, where people eat dinner somewhere around 9pm or even later. Tapas is usually served with a glass of wine, so trying the "boquerones en aceite" with dark bread, a splash of lemon juice over them and a glass of Tempranillo is not a bad thing at all!
I just can't eat sardines without saltines. I've tried them straight. Nope, not happening. Now that I've developed HBP, I have to buy the unsalted top saltines.
Another good canned fish is mackerel. Gotta have saltines for those too. Canned Herring is passable, but i found very salty compared to the other two.
I love sardines or anchovies with a cracker. With mustard is good but I usually just grab a bottle of hot sauce, never thought about lemon. I only use lemon on seafood or catfish. Had some really good smoked sardines from Spain, I think just last week. Threw away the box so I don't know the name as it was all in Spanish. I like to make tuna salad and add a can of sardines to kick the flavor up. (Hint; tell your wife before she tries it.) Bubbarust
Dr. Bosworths keto diet has you eating nothing but sardines for 3 consecutive days. I like 'em and I guess they're highly nutritious but I don't know if I could do nothing but for 3 days straight.
I need eye bleach after seeing this garbage right after my breakfast.

ReplyDeleteAnd what is that other thing? Is it a piece of meat? Is it a chunk of bread (why would you have a section of lemon next to it)?
ReplyDeleteThe smelt run is on in Washington and Oregon, ten pound daily limit. Mmm good.
ReplyDeleteSardines are in the top ten most healthy foods on earth. High in protein, calcium, potassium and more. Too bad I can't stand them.
ReplyDeleteTry em in mustard sauce, makes a world of difference.
DeleteI eat at least 1 can a week.
Usually the Beach Cliff brand.
12 cans for $14.47 delivered.
Buy 1 can for a test to see if you like em. $2.05

ReplyDeleteWay too fancy. Everyone knows sardines are best enjoyed straight out of the can whilst sitting in your recliner in sweatpants. Ambiance is everything.
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget the saltines
