Sardines

I just recently bought a can and please don't ask me why I bought it.

Anyway, now my question is: how do you eat them? Do you eat them right out of the can, on a cracker, with some sort of dip? I don't have a clue. How do you eat yours?

    I prefer to eat them on a slice of wholemeal toast. Toast the bread on both sides, mash the Sardines lightly with a fork and spread on the toast. Put it back under the grill for a few minutes to warm the Sardines through.

    I had sardines for breakfast this morning. I would say the best is to eat it with toasted bread. I had it with whole grain spelt toast. You can put butter on the bread under the sardines (I used some feta cheese instead, which was very good with the fish). A few drops of fresh lemon juice on the top is essential. Fresh vegetables go well with the sandwich also (onion, cucumber, peppers, etc.).

    I hope you this helps and you will enjoy if you try.

    I stir them into pasta with some pesto and cherry tomatoes.

    To really lift the taste, add either lemon juice as mentioned before, or a few drops of vinegar. Sounds bad, tastes excellent.

    If you've been exercising hard, (over a couple of hours), sardines on wholemeal toast is an excellent way to get your Protein and Carbohydrates back to the right level, and all that Omega 3 too, super food...

    I actually put them in my salad once and it wasn't too bad, I think they taste better on toast though :)

    Same here. They make an awesome on-the-go snack or breakfast.

    Thanks for all the wonderful responses. At first, I just may try them straight out of the can. Then I'll take it from there.
