I bought these shits after stumbling upon the last 'dine thread:



As you can clearly see, I still haven't opened them. Judging from this thread, I made 2 rookie mistakes in buying cheap 'dines and also getting them in water. I don't remember there being much selection. Anyway, I'm not really into fish, but these drat threads make them sound so appealing. I have had and enjoyed the smoked oysters (on crackers w/ hot sauce), and our family friends brought some salmon from their annual trip to Alaska this last summer and smoked it and it tasted like delicious fish candy, which is not something you would expect someone who doesn't like fish much to ever say but that's the best way I can describe it. So good. So with that in mind, recommend me a good quality 'dine, 'dine thread. Obviously I'll go for something if it's smoked, but if the fishyness isn't super pronounced I think I can handle it. I would be willing to order a tin online if necessary.

Those 'dines rank pretty high on the 'worst things I've ever eaten' list. Their mustard ones are tolerable though.

Is it funny to call them "Sars" instead of "dines?"

The mustard sardines from Bumblebee are all right if you're on a budget. Nothing can help water though, that's why those varieties are always cheaper across the board.

I just opened my Christmas gifts (we did our Christmas early so people with jobs could attend) and I got a box full of King Oscar sardines and kipper snacks!

Okay a couple weeks late, but hey, glad there's a new 'dine thread to post these in. While I was in China I got the urge for sardines so I went to the store to look for some. These are all I could find.

Grody, huge, boney. And yet they still tasted okay. They were two different kinds; the slimmer kind was a little better and easier to manage/debone. I ate the ribs but removed the spines. Adding some chinese chili powder helped considerably.

All in all I am glad to be back in the land of easily available KO royal dines

Good call, I've had a bad feeling about them even though they are still good for another 9 months. I'll try to locate some fancier looking ones for myself, and give these to our cats.

poo poo man I haven't had a sardine since my late father was pushing them on me a couple years back.

I think I failed to pick up some wisdom from that man, of course he would pluck minnows out of the water at the beach and eat them whole so...

Aight gently caress it I'mma run up to the store and get some sardines, I don't want my arteries to rot after all.

I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!


I had fisherman's eggs and miso soup for dinner twice last week. I know it's theoretically a breakfast thing but I roll out of bed about 10 minutes before I should be out the door so I don't have time to bake anything.

Anyway it's a tasty and filling dinner and takes very little prep. A+ will eat again probably semi-weekly for the rest of my life. maybe less if I find a lady friend that doesn't want me to have garlicky sardine breath when we make sweet love every night but I dunno it might be a dealbreaker.

Whatever, even if sardines become uncool, they'll still be healthy. That could never be said for bacon.

My dad and I never ate sardines together, ever. I was 100% making all that up in the previous thread.

My dad was a copywriter for years at multiple ad agencies and wrote touching descriptions that made you want to buy products however and I have honored his memory by tricking you all into eating stinky fish

Jokes on me though because it turns out sardines are awesome and I can't stop eating them

I know smack was talked about Brunswick earlier in the thread, but I have the occasional tendency to get these and eat them with crackers out of the tin.



Sardines can gently caress off, though.
