... how good sardines on toast tastes.
The cat has IBD, and so occasionally a small spoonful of sardines in olive oil is good for her digestion, which she will slurp up happily enough the first time it is offered. But not the next time. So on those occasions I get to either waste food or get out the toast.
And, it being Good Friday, it is an appropriate dinner. With wine. One and a half glasses, cheers m'dears.
It was yum. Sardines in olive oil. I recommend. Just occasionally...

How odd - I had an omelette tonight & haven't made one for so long it took some thought to recall how to do it, it must be years since I made one. Tomato & mushroom omelette, with a wee bit of cheese toasted under the grill, not bad at a;;.
And I'm fairly sure I've still got a tine of sardines somewhere...

I must remember to replace mine. Fill that wee sardine sized space at the back of the pantry...

sardines like with the bones and skin and guts and shit still in them.
them sardines?
best thing about them is the tins.
the tins are fun.

Yup. All the innards Magoo, eat 'em up, they're good for you!
Another childhood memory... My Dad handing his Mum - who was in NZ for the first time from Edinburgh - a little white wrapped paper parcel from the fishmonger, and telling her ' Here Mam, these'll need gutting for our tea'. And watching her open the parcel and look at him in consternation, because it was whitebait...
In those days we could afford the delicacy!

Yes, our generation grew up eating crayfish, whitebait & Bluff oysters - we didn't know how lucky we were.

And chicken was for special occasions!

They were definitely special occasion foods, but were within reach. These days, with far more disposable income, I never think to buy crayfish, Bluff oysters are a once-a-year indulgence and I don't buy whitebait because it is endangered.

I have a friend who has terminal liver cancer. She adores seafood. She decided she might spoil herself and priced a single half tail at the local supermarket.
And decided against...

Yeah, I know - never happen.

I have this aversion to bones so I will only eat filleted fish, only eat chicken breast etc. I dont know why it is but if anything with bones in comes near my mouth I tend to gag, I even have to cut the bone out of pork chops before cooking, its a pain I know but I have been like this for as long as I can remember, maybe some some long lost childhood memory.(16-04-2022, 03:01 PM)Oldfellah Wrote: Sardines!!!

We could have had something good old man, but if you cannot bear the odd bit of gnawing on a juicy bone, there is no hope for us...

RE: I had forgotten... - Oh_hunnihunni - 16-04-2022
Sigh, and mine. I will just have to go find another rich, vulnerable, senior male, preferably blind and slightly deaf as well as lame, and cruelly stalk him into exhaustion...
Nah. Too much like hard work, lol. Tg4 the friend zone, eh?
