I just bought and consumed some sardines. It was some Portuguese brand I guess, porthos sardines in tomato sauce/oil. Ive never eaten a 'dine before and it was a pretty good meal, tastes kinda like canned tuna but not dry as poo poo. I ate it on toast with lawry's seasoned salt and sriracha. Saw some bones but didn't notice them at all while chewing. I can feel the cold dick sucking snakes repairing my arteries so that's good.

Dines alone ain't gonna fix your queered up internals, boy. You gotta exercise or get one physical type job in addition to eatin' dines to fix your all cabbage body.

i'm cruising amazon for other dine varieties and jesus christ this is not a gustatory hobby for poors

you can get a pack of Seasons at Costco for roughly a dollar a can. It is a fine thing for poors like us. there are fantastically expensive variants of the dine out there, as there are with virtually everything else. you can probably find someone selling dirt on amazon for, like, 300$ an ounce.

Five hundred. … 500 degrees, that’s the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 degree sardines and eggs and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that’s what you are.



loving let it go, dude. if someone wants to cook their dines and eggs using the self cleaning oven setting, it's their prerogative and you're not going to succeed in shaming them into changing their ways.

Hi 'dine thread. I have been lurking this and the old thread for a while and want to try sardines.

My only experience with canned fish is tuna however. I saw someone post it tastes like a much less dry canned tuna, is this generally true? I like tuna but I am weird about salmon which is why I am asking. Idk, I tried many types of salmon and just can't get into it.

Also I'm in Quebec and the only brand I ever see is Clover. Are they okay or should I keep looking? Amazon.ca is expensive :ohdear:

thank you and god bless

Steal a car, even if you own one, steal a car. Get in that car and drive west until you find a store that sells King Oscar. When you get to that store get out and go to the nearest bar and start to play pool or pinball or possibly even foosball and wait to get into a fight. Then buy some dines. Afterwards, get back in that car and drive it until it runs out of gas. Then, torch it. And, as you're standing there watching those flames, eat those dines straight out of the can chasing them with bites of sour dough bread. Once you've finished the can if you're not grossed out then you are a dines fan.

Wanna know how I know? Wanna know who told me? Well, last year, the girl on the Season loving sardine can told me, that's who.

Sounds logical and delicious. Do you add any condo-mints to your bague-dines?

I almost always add lemon juice. dijon, horseradish and hot sauce (various types from lousiana to sriacha to sweet garlic chili sauce are all acceptable depending on circumstances) are also fine dinedements.

If you get a better brand packed in hot sauce you shouldn't have to add anything to it. Same with most of the better meditaranean style ones and KO with cracked pepper.

So I did a bit of comparison, and nutrition estimates seem to vary a lot even within brands. Is that a species thing? I was going to order some King Oscar brisling sardines in olive oil, but they seem to have more fat and less protein than some of the other options out there. Is there any rule of thumb for getting healthier sardines?

Yeah, don't loving worry about it. Is, like, 1/20th a percentage difference in protein by volume going to make that big of a difference in your quest to get swole? If you want dines with a lower fat content then you need to get ones that aren't packed in a fat medium, ie. water, which are gross. Dines are good for you, don't waste your precious dine granted mental energy in trying to min/max the fuckers.

Cool, I won't worry about it then, thanks.

Something else I noticed, sardines in oil seem to always be smoked unless they're also skinless and boneless. Not sure what's up with that. I'm not big on smoky sardines, how are King Oscars compared to Wild Planet on that front?

KO's are, in most varieties, on the oily/smoky side. The only thing I remember about Wild Planet was not liking them and I'm pretty sure one of the reasons was that they weren't smoky enough. Filipino dines aren't smoky, are dirt cheap and are -okay- if you douse them in something other than the tomato sauce they're packed in. They come in round cans.

no, that's totally right. yellow is the goldilocks that can be used raw in a pinch (or for potent poo poo like chili dogs or pico de gallo) and which cooks up a little on the sweet/mild side. the point being that it's versatile, not garbage.

King Oscar is the standard here fellow dads.

If you're spending less than what one of those would cost, you're buying bad 'dines and are probably gonna have a bad time.

Less than that is deadbeat dad and/or cat food.

This is bullshit. There are a lot of other fish in the sea besides KO. There's also nothing wrong with slumming it and having a can of Beachcliff in hot sauce or Family or Ligo.

More to the point, a good dad is a frugal dad. While they aren't going to be getting bumblebee in water, they're certainly not going to be paying 4$ a can for tiny tots, they could get a comparably sized hunk of fresh tuna for that price, hell, that would be like buying soda at a fast food place.

Ate the can of Family. 4 biggish dines in the can, soft but not falling apart, no smoke flavor, good big crunchy spines, a little on the fishy side but not overwhelmingly. The tomato chili sauce was a little hot and, as to be expected given the country of origin, really salty. All in all, not bad for 70 cents, heaps better than most of the stuff in the price bracket.

Would, with a little effort, make an excellent pasta sauce. (add some onions, a small can of tomato sauce to thin out the saltiness, some garlic and some wine)

Tomatoes
Bell pepper
Lettuce
Rucola(arugula)
Feta cubes
Some herb vinegrette
1 tin tomato paste 'dines

I'll pair it with some home baked ciabatta bread.

I have some pesto rosso but IDK if it would go well?? Maybe i could put it on the bread.. Ideas, dine dads??? Do I need croquettes...

Sounds like a salad I would make. Would suggest going full roquette and ditch the lettuce. Would pr'lly also use cucumber instead of bell pepper and use olive oil dines instead of tomato sauce ones.

you don't ever really need croquettes unless you're trying to sweeten up a lady friend. girls love those loving things.
