Thread: Sardines on toast?

Probably many Brits are familiar with this great lunch?

Okay so run out of doggy cheapie rice and very low on kibble...so a few cans of sardines to bulk out their din dins with people leftovers etc.

Now when I was kid sardines on toast with pepper and vinegar was the dogs bollocks...in my cruising time often lived on this with un-toasted somewhat stale bread a few noodles and a can of sardines...,yum!

Now the thought makes me a bit nauseous..early years here used to enjoy but suspect they are now adding so much crap ( chemicals?) that makes a meal undesirable in the extreme.after taste is terrible ?...sad!!??

Sardines here are always in frigging tomato sauce. It's all you can taste..

Wouldn't give it to the dog, tbh.

Pla too on toast is pretty tasty.

Tuna sandwich toasted. Try eel on toast or a frog salad sandwich with olives.

I don't know about there, but here we can get sardines in a piccanta sauce. Great on toast.

Apart from the last time, when i found a long black hair in a tin. Me, having medium length auburn hair... I took the offending hair to the shop and they gave me another tin of sardines. Which is still in my cupboard 4 months later.

I don't blame the Portuguese sardine packing girl at all. Just a bit worried about what i will find when i next open a can of sardines.... Pun accepted.

I like 'em with lashings of Tabasco and some sliced cucumber.

The cheapest ones have a watery sauce that isn't as overpowering as the posh ones.

Hey QC

Yum pla kapong is very tasty, salad mixed with sardines, nice & spicy with rice.

A lazy meal for me is sardines on rice, laced with shitloads of red hot chilli sauce - Encona hot pepper sauce usually with squeeze of lemon juice

The best Sardines in the World are those in Portugal were they BBQ them outside the little seaside bodegas , a plate of them and a big slice of lemon with a side salad , fresh home made bread , washed down with a big Carafe of Vino , hey what more could any one ask for?

^ Wow. Sounds excellent.

Small sardines packed in oil or mustard are the type I like on saltine crackers. Those tinned fish in that tomato sauce we get here are awful. I give them to the dogs for treats.

Had herrings in tomato sauce from a can, not so good, flesh too soft.

Here in the south west we get the fresh Cornish sardines - very cheap and great done in the grill, lemon juice and shit hot chilli sauce and a salad, healthy meal...

But even sardines from the can are healthy and they provide the Omega 3 fish oil

I usually only get the John West brand

Yeah Misskit and I forgot to add many of these little Bodegas had a classical finger picking guitarist , his only pay was a free meal and what one threw in his hat , Magic sheer magic what can I say?

Hey Misskit ,picture the scene , BBQ ed Portuguese Sardines with all the extra's , unlimited Vino and an atmosphere which one could not put a price on, listening to music equally as good as this sheer genius, with a lady you have spent all of your adult life with need

Oi oi

^ Just threatened a red sunnyboy, but didn't dish it out.

Fish on toast is just wrong.

When Jesus gave out the bread and fish do you reckon they got the toaster on and served it up?

Long time no hear anyways mate. Things going well your end?

The filipinos have to ruin it by producing canned sardines in lovely chilli sauce...BUT lacing it with fucking MSG

Didn't read the label until I'd had two cans, who would expect they'd bother with it? Nobody else does it from what I've seen.

A simple can of sardines in tomato sauce that's spiced up, are the Filipinos that cheap and nasty?

As an alternative, try Roza brand Mackerel.... bloody lovely! About 22 baht a tin.

sounds good...do they still put sardine paste and crackers on the table in restaurants? They charged for it even if ya did not eat it.?

Thought it was real funny seeing frickin great squids drying on the washing lines down in Sagres!

The Roza brand is very good, I get them in the oriental supermarket (have to go all the way to Penzance) They're about 42p and have a couple of varieties, the cans of tuna in green curry are bloody good, you could easily serve it up here in england and tell them it was cooked by me

I've just had sardines on toast for breakfast and also had some for dinner last night.

plenty of selection in Villa, 3 different brands, cheapest are Ayam.....good but the best are the Portuguese ones in the blue box, very nice but 25THB a tin more expensive.....

To say they are only available here in tomato sauce is plain wrong.
