I believe I suggested Seafood City for having a good selection. Bonus points for their cafe serving some pretty good Filipino food.

Glad to see people are exploring more 'dine consumption.


Bought from the local bodega & eaten with the morning's eggs & kasha. Kinda sweet for my liking.

'Sup, fellow Oregoon! Fubonn is a couple blocks from my place & is my go-to Asian grocery store that I'd go to. Up the street is Hong Phat, and their selection is smaller but has interesting choices.

Bonus: Hong Phat has balut.

Latest haul from them:

I'm excited for the Century 'dines because those are Filipino fishes. The crab & prawns were bought on a whim, so who knows what they taste like? Bangus is also known as milkfish & my mom would fry up those fatty fishies, so I'm interested in how they taste like when canned.

I dig that. I get salmon collars for hella cheap and make a pretty decent broth with it.

Kinda related: I went to Lincoln City for a friend's birthday & picked up some smoked oysters (not canned). What can I do with these?

Picked these up at New Seasons and I think they're pretty good. Used the oil to fry up the eggs for my breakfast that went with these 'dines. Sometimes the simple things are the best.

I think SPAM is okay, but my canned meat of choice is corned beef. I remember taking a family trip down to Disney World from our home in Northern Maine & to save :10bux: we brought the rice cooker so that we could eat rice & corned beef in the hotel instead of spending money at restaurants.

Latest haul from Old Country Sausage up in NE Portland. It's a German market/restaurant and they have a small deli there too. I stopped by because I was across the street at Parkrose Hardware buying some specialty nuts & bolts.

Weisswurst from their restaurant section.


Sheep sausage for a friend's birthday party. Pretty tasty, where the sausage seasoning spices are what hits you first, then you're left with that nice lamb aftertaste.

I've become a big fan of cod liver, though I'm increasingly concerned that I'm reeking of cod liver oil.

I didn't take a pic but here's a stock image that works:


Texture is soft, kinda buttery. If you've eaten foie gras, the texture isn't that far off. I don't think it's super strong in terms of fishiness (I would put mackerel over cod liver for that).

I've been mixing it in my morning kasha/fried egg breakfast. I do use the packaging's oil to fry my eggs, which is kinda nice. That said later on in the afternoon I feel like the cod liver oil smell is emanating from my body, either from my skin or deep down from my esophagus.

I didn't notice any membranes in it. To be honest it looks like any connective tissue was removed.

Found this at Fubonn (the Asian grocery store near where I live in Portland). I like it, and I recognize that I will be stinky for the rest of the day.

How do you eat canned cod liver? On toast or something?

I mix it in with my morning kasha. I also use the oil to fry a couple eggs which then goes on top.

On toast is a good second option too. It's got the texture of foie gras, so a little crouton to bring it to your mouth would be a great pairing. Maybe even a little fruit preserves too to cut the fattiness.

I have become a huge fan of whitefish salad sandwiches. The deli near my mom’s place here in Rockville, MD carries it, along with herring Fillets & chopped chicken livers.

I think I’m becoming a big fan of Jewish food.

Post-workout shashuka. Had a tin of La Sirena sardines in tomato sauce with chilis so I used that as a base (along with a whole bell pepper & 1/3 an onion). My breath is stinky, my tongue is spicy, and my body is energized to shovel snow.

IIRC Mediterranean ‘dines are (slightly) more ethically farmed & there is an emphasis for quality over just mass producing for cheaper.

Speaking of which, I’m in the middle of moving so ‘dines are on heavy rotation as I don’t really have the ability to cook right now.

There is a sweet spot where the heat and flavor is synchronized. Too much heat & you blow out your taste buds, lessening your ability to enjoy the subtle flavors a dish can have.

Honestly it’s why I like plain ‘dines over ones in hot sauce. I can add my own sauces to taste.

I think the concept of a tuna melt is good, but old-rear end recipes leave poor goons with bad memories of them. Imagine a nice toasted bread, topped with a Mediterranean tuna mixed with a fresh aioli. Maybe a melty cheese like havarti.

I like corned beef. My favorite is the stuff from New Zealand that is more chipped beef in texture.

One summer road trip to Disney World included my mom bringing a rice cooker so that we could eat corned beef & hot rice at the hotels we’d stay in throughout the trip.
