I ate the Porthos dines in tomato sauce. Good, not great, but good. Tasted more like canned tuna. Great texture, just not high on the sardine flavor. Tomato sauce was basically flavorless.

Hopefully they’re quality dines or you might get turned off.

I recommend newbie dine eaters start out with King Oscar tiny tots because they’re cheapish, usually available at your local grocery store and are quite good.

Some of the rookies started out with something like Beach Cliff and didn’t enjoy them

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

If ur gonna start, you want a deal, but not 99c deal. That's for the pros who know what they want. Wild Planet is also good midrange I think.

Wild Planet is really good (their White Anchovies are loving amazing) but a little pricey where I'm at, even more than KO dines by at least 25cents. For a good mid-range brand my go-to has always been Season brand. Reese brand is similar but I've found their fishies to be a bit smaller than Season. And I'll never not mention the amazing Brunswick Gourmet Filets in Mustard and Dill.

Picked up a tin of Crown Prince kipper snacks tonight. They're pretty decent but I think I like KO 'dines more overall. I like the smaller fish I can just pop in my mouth one by one.

Twelve pack of Wild Planet in olive oil is on a deep discount right now on amazon

edit: never tried the marinara ones but they're $13.32 for a 12 pack as well.

That looks really good. I'm a bit out of sorts today because I haven't sardines in 3 days so I tried to google "ko hash" before I realized KO is King Oscar :downs:

Yeah it was good. All I did was dice a potato and cook it for a bit before adding fish and later eggs. Put some salt, pepper, chili powder, and cholula on top. My corgi has been underfoot literally whining that he can’t eat my dines. He did get a couple tails during the cooking process.

I wish I could try this: KO Sardines Japanese Style

Soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. 3 things I love. It looks like it comes in a small can though. Says 4-6 dines per. We need a polish goon to try it out and report results

Italy's Sardines push back against Salvini's nationalist tide

quote:

Crammed into the Piazza Duomo, packed tightly like the fish that's given them their name, was a nascent movement gaining ground across the country.

They came with a message: promoting human rights and respect for migrants and halting the rise and rise of one man - Matteo Salvini.

Trip report: Bar Harbor can go gently caress itself. Two huge slabs of crumbly fish. Weird bitter flavor to the affair, just failure, texture, taste, consistency, everything is wrong. Easily the worst "any tier above Beachcliff" 'dine Mr. Dick has had. Like they're trying to pass off smoked mackerel as sardines.

I found some dines in soy sauce at the international market but they were kind of weird and sweet
