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.

Picked up a can of Brunswick kipper snacks at the store today - they didn't have a great selection, and I'm easing myself back into the world of canned fish products. Keeping an eye out for King Oscar at the recommendation of this thread.

One smelled it and turned around and just walked away, the other licked it once and looked up at me like "Wtf you gave me good rear end salmon yesterday you traitor" and then hosed off to the garage presumably to eat as much kitty food it could to get taste out if it's mouth When I initially read this post I missed reading the word "cats" and I thought you just had weird parents.

I like using fresh white onions in sandwiches and stuff. It has a cleaner, crisper flavor than yellow and doesn't have the often excessive sweetness of red.

Had a tin of KO Tiny Tots on crackers with sriracha sauce for lunch - it was pretty good. Pretty mild flavor - not as fishy as I was expecting. Probably would've been better if I was using something less sweet than Ritz-type crackers, though. Also had a tin of KO kipper snacks a few days ago, and can definitely say they are better than the Brunswick version. Better color and flavor in every way.

Picked up two more cans of KO Tiny Tots yesterday along with some saltines - I really think they will work better than the Keebler Town House I used last time. Still have a tin of Wild Planet in reserve, too. The store I was at only had Brunswick kipper snacks, so I passed on those - the KO are so much better that the Brunswick just don't seem like an option.

Made a half-assed sandwich with a can of Bumblebee sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce today and it was actually pretty good. The Bumbledee dines are clearly not good and kinda mushy, but slapped between two slices of lightly toasted bread they made a reductionist sort of dine salad sandwich that was fairly tasty. I ate said sandwich over the kitchen sink for extra dad points, too.

Had some Brunswick kippered snacks yesterday, and happened to notice that apparently they are a subsidiary of Bumblebee. I've been kind of enjoying slumming with sandwiches made from the Bumblebee sardines in hot sauce, so this didn't strike me as too bad a thing.

I like to use lightly toasted white bread, usually cheap. I think that gives me extra dad cred, at least on the American side. (As an aside, finding white bread that isn't like goddamn angel food cake has become a chore. Looking for grams of sugar per slice has become my rule of thumb, and finding white bread with fewer than 2g of sugar per slice takes some searching. My local Rite Aid has loving Hostess brand bread, which has at least 3g of sugar per slice. I have a certain morbid curiosity about it, and toy with the idea of wasting the money on a loaf just to find out what a sickly-sweet abomination it is.)

Just had an odd experience - was making a quick and half-assed sardine sandwich and found that it appeared the fish still had their livers in or were otherwise not completely cleaned. It was a tin of Bumblebee in hot sauce, which I have eaten a lot of, and all three fish had a long, oblong, slightly crumbly organ still inside the belly cavity, almost the length of each fish. When I noticed the first one I thought I would just pick it out and chalk it up to random chance, but then discovered all three had it. Ended up ditching that can and falling back on a can of Chicken of the Sea dines that I had in reserve.

An electric kettle is one kitchen appliance that I would find it hard to live without anymore. Had a few over the years, and you really get spoiled by having the ability to boil like a liter and a half of water in a short span of time. Compared to doing it on the stove or in the microwave it is practically instant. Also helps to shorten cooking time for a lot of things, because you can boil the water in the kettle rather than waiting for it to warm on the stove.

Pretty sure my current electric kettle came from Costco for like $20 or so. A halfway decent electric kettle really is about the fastest way to boil water there is.

Here is the outside - trying to use my crappy phone camera to take a picture of the inside isn't working very well. It comes off the plastic base that provides power just by lifting it - it's really handy.  And here it is with some tinned fishies to provide scale.

The Bumblebee in hot sauce are my go-to cheap dines for half-assed sandwiches. They are much better and more reliable than the Chicken of the Sea.

Renegret posted:My hands took the brunt of the scent and I eventually got the stink out with enough hand washing that now my eczema is now acting up from my dried out skin. I can sympathize with the eczema thing. A lot of hand soaps will just make mine flare up almost immediately, so I've gotten used to trying to avoid touching things as much as possible when I'm outside to avoid the need for frequent handwashing. Those handicap accessible doors are a godsend, so I can just hip-check a button and not have to grab a doorhandle. One of the few things about Fall and Winter that I appreciate is that I can wear gloves and nobody thinks it is weird.

Renegret posted:I have a prescription that I swear works using witchcraft. If I have a flare up, I'll use it three times in one day and it'll be like the flare up never happened. That being said, I still have to make sure I don't do anything to cause a flare up, which usually involves anything that dries it out. Washing my hands, the dishes, and for some reason the laundry are what do it the worst as far as daily tasks go. In the winter I'm basically hosed. Cortisone 10 makes an eczema cream that works for me, but other than that it sounds like we have very similar experiences. I did finally manage to find a pair of dish gloves that fit me okay, if still a little snug.

PokeJoe posted:I have the exact opposite experience. I got a bumblebee can once that smelled bad enough to make me gag but have enjoyed all the chicken of the sea cans I've bought. Weird. It could be luck of the draw, I suppose, but in my experience it has been pretty consistent that Bumblebee are better than Chicken of the Sea.

I recently had a can of Trader Joe's sardines in spring water, which I got just because they were on sale. I wasn't expecting much from them, but they were surprisingly good. Bigger fish than I would have liked, but had excellent taste and texture. I have avoided fish packed in water, but these were unexpectedly decent.

I'm fine with raw oysters, but have never cared for them cooked. It also doesn't help that the last time I had fried oysters it resulted in one of the weirdest gastrointestinal events I've ever had.

Had another can of the Trader Joe's sardines in spring water this week, partly to see if my previous experience with them was an anomaly. Nope, I actually think they are surprisingly good. Sort of big and oddly-shaped, but the texture was good and they were tasty. Back to slumming with Bumblebee this week, though.

This is one of the few places where I actually have grown to appreciate adhesive labels covering the lid - Bumblebee almost never do the whole jerk and splatter thing. I've mostly held other cans as deep in the sink as I could while taking the lid off to minimize splatter.

Still need to try some king o's King Oscar is pretty much the benchmark, particularly the Tiny Tots. I've posted a couple times that I have been pleasantly surprised by the Trader Joe's dines in spring water, if you happen to be in there again soon. Just had a particularly good tin of Bumblebee in hot sauce as a sandwich - if I hadn't known better I would've thought this particular can was from a better brand.

There are a bunch of places here that make decent fresh salsa that you can buy in grocery stores in plastic tubs, like the size of a container of cottage cheese or sour cream. I haven't intentionally consumed jarred salsa in a very long time. Addendum: On the other hand, I have a deep and defiant love for this stuff:
