I just had a tin of Season sardines (boneless skinless) with Tabasco sauce on crackers after work and they were goddamn good.

My notes for the Mexican dish that southerners think is "chili":

5lb pork shoulder or beef roast
1 big bag dried red chillies (ancho/paisillo, guajillio in equal parts, toasted maybe), about 12-15 total ounces of dried chilies.
2 onions
8-10 cloves garlic
4 bay leaves
4 tbsp chopped fresh Mexican oregano or majoram if you cannot get Mexican oreg (~2 tbsp dry). If majoram appx 1tbsp is plenty, add gradually and taste.
2 tbsp cumin
Juice of 2 oranges
salt, pepper


Most legit chili is 5 ancho : 2 pasilla : 2 guajillo, buying softest possible chilies. Recipe turns out okay leaving out the pasillas.


Brown meat, cook onions and garlic, add cumin. Add soaked, deseeded, chopped chilis. Cover with stock. Simmer 2-4 hours, using lid to adjust sauce thickness.


You can also make a puree of all the nonmeat items, strain it, and simmer the meat in that.


Note: A fresh ancho is a poblano which may also dry to become a mulato, you cannot tell before drying, the mulato is darker -- all are mild. Raw poblanos are bitter until roasted. Pasillo is a dark long chili and can be very spicy, they have a distinctive astringent flavor -- often mislabeled as anchos a pasillo is 8-9 inches long and tube shaped rather than conical. Guajillio is a dried Anaheim chili, purple and fairly hot.  These are also known as New Mexico chilies or California chilies and their heat level varies a lot when fresh -- Hatch is a town in the chili growing region of New Mexico. A mix of fresh and dried chilies is also fine for this recipe.


Chilies de Arbol have no flavor, just heat. Chipotles are smoked dried jalapeños. Chilies de secos are dried serranos with their grassy flavor barely intact. Pequin chilies are sweet, smoky, and brightly hot.

OK here's what's up with the hatch chile thing

Every year, Wegmans (which is an East Coast groc store chain) does a hatch chile roast where they get these big cases of them and they set up outside roasters like in the southwest. Therefore, I bought a whole case of them because they're delicious and they freeze well.

What I did was loosely based on this, which I've done before,

http://www.goonswithspoons.com/Mango_Habanero_Hot_Sauce

..but what I really did was puree a bunch of already roasted, defrosted hatches and some good quality apple cider hippie vinegar

Softened the onion in a little oil, then garlic, mixed in some cumin and tumeric, folded in, salt to taste



I like the sauce a little thicker and with the texture of the onions. Its not a vinegary hot sauce, more a relish and it's amazing on eggs too.

Wife is currently making twice-baked potatoes she plans to top with mustard 'dines. I'm wearing a cardigan given to me by an wicked cool ancient pensioner before he moved into an assisted living place. Today is also the day to sort through some boxes of hardware in preparation for finally setting up my workshop in the current place.

Need to go do up an iceless Wild Turk 101 old fashioned to see if I can peg the dadometer.

Just buy good 'dines my dude. Cheap ones are like entirely different fish to decent ones. There are some things you shouldn't cheap out on - you wouldn't buy lovely cheap coffee because you know it's gonna be gross. You'd pay a little more for that sourdough loaf compared to the sliced white. Buy the good fishes. It's worth the money.

E: not to mention that the cheap and lovely ones are likely fished unsustainably, compared to stuff like the KO's which come from Norway where you know they're gonna be strict on this stuff so that there will still be fishies for us and our kids to eat in the future.

Tried kippers for the first time.

I like them! I was expecting more of a smoky flavor but they weren't very aggressive which was nice. I opened a tin and had it with my salmon salad. I used the packet of dill mustard dressing that came with the salmon (Foppen) and it went well with it.

Wikipedia says people in the UK, Belgium, and Japan eat these for breakfast? Do they really? I thought only Nigel Thornberry is only one in Britain still eating these.

Speaking of the wiki page. I want to find where the hell they're serving a whole fried kipper with an egg on top. Good God man that looks sumptuous.

Riga smoked sprats come from Latvia and they're my favorite 'dines I've had so far. I can't tell much difference between sprats and other alleged subcategories of sardine.

I hate to admit it but having acquired some King Oscars, I actually think I prefer the larger sardines from Trader Joes. I don't know if it's the different fish, or if it's the tails left on, or what, but there's a taste that smacks a bit too much of the bait shop. They're still pretty great, but goddamn the T.J. 'dines in harissa were pretty much the best.

I'm looking forward to trying the King Oscar jalapeno 'dines, though.

It's an old people thing. You could almost say it's pretty... dadly.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, this being the dine thread and all. Just fry them up quickly and serve with other breakfast things, fry some diced potatoes and eggs and stuff with them. It's totally awesome but the smell will not leave your kitchen until next morning, though.

They are good!

The other night I was making veggie burritos (I slow cook chickpeas and tomatoes with spices and garlic and mash it all up) and decided to add some TJ harissas with the hot sauce at the end when I was assembling the burritos.

Do not do this.

...so, back in 1939 you got free cigars and booze from tinned fishies companies? drat, what a time to be a dad.


Speaking of free things in the mail :siren: I HAVE A REQUEST :siren:

As some of you know, I make art out of sardine lids. A gallery has just invited me to display/sell my works there, so I'm in artdine-making overdrive right now. I can really use as many dine lids as possible... so just a reminder that if you've got a dine-a-day habit and send me a bunch of lids, I will send you a delightful prize in the mail. Plain, printed, sprats/anchovies/kippers/oysters, doesn't matter, as long as they're the rectangular pull-off lids. Thank you, and happy 'dine-ing.

It's bad enough that he used that weasel word. But it's worse enough that he claims it's the "No. 1 superfood"

It's like someone asking "could kale also be a superfood?"

"No. 1 superfood. Sardine. All other subparfood."
