/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I smother mine with hot sauce and eat it from the tin. I'll also throw some on rye with some pickled red onion and a smidge of mustard. It's sort of salty, fishy, and oily. Vinegary substances compliment it well

>>10570106
You're in for a life changing taste rollercoaster

>>10570106
Just enjoyed a can compliments of costco. Fantastic, as always. Bon appetit!

I like mine in mustard or with hot sauce.

Are there genuinely adults whose parents never made them try shit like sardines as a child? Am I the only one this happened to? How do you reach maturity without eating canned fish at least once? I don't understand. Before I came to /ck/ I just assumed everyone had tried sardines before, this is so bizzare for me.

>>10570118
Can confirm rye and pickled red onion is a good combo. Just vinegar and a tad of sugar will be enough. A nice boiled egg on the side. Good quick lunch. Any bread will do tho

I recommend cooking them in a pan for a bit and then dousing with lemon juice.

Softens that fishiness considerable if its your first time

bleh

Snack at the work place. Hawt sauce dinez

sardines are a lifestyle, be careful

>>10570469
My wife says whenever I get done eating sardinos, I have a womens locker-room esque smell on my hands and mouth.

>non-gmo
Anything that explicitly advertises this is probably overpriced. Go find some sardines in an ethnic grocery store, whichever kind they have in your part of the world. Also, as someone else mentioned, soybean oil is pretty shit.

>>10570404
My parents don't like them, the only canned meat we had in the house was tuna and, when my mother was occasionally nostalgic, spam.

>>10570404
The opposite. I've been trying to get my mom to eat sardines and kippers. She's very picky.

>Product of China
>Warning: Contains chemicals known to California to cause birth defects, reproductive harm.
Adds up. I wouldn't eat anything from China, ESPECIALLY animal products. Get some Atlantic deenz.

>>10570404
I didn't eat foods from cans.

>>10570544
I honestly would not give a shit about any californian label. They require warnings on anything where the producers haven't gone out of their way to prove that it doesn't cause defects. Completely worthless.

>>10570527
Especially when it's being advertised on something that is literally a wild animal.

>>10570404
My dad would put them in my stocking for Christmas as a child. Still does actually.

>>10570106
sardines are fucking rancid disgusting. I can't believe 4chan trolled me into buying a can of sardines and trying to eat it. it's even worse than deleting system 32 or putting your iphone in the microwave

>>10570641
Really?

>>10570106
I've never had that brand but hopefully they will taste alright. I usually tell people to try the boneless skinless in olive oil for the first time. It's just not as intimidating and most people like them.

I'm in Argentina for a couple weeks and thought I'd try the local /deenz/scene, pic related. Any Argie fags ever have this kind? Some cans actually said in water AND oil. No king Oscar to be found, and of the 6 or so varieties, there were no other flavors like tomato, mustard, jalapeno or whatever.

Also, none have the pop top lid, so I'm lucky I brought my Swiss army knife.

>>10570118
How do you keep them from falling off the bread when you eat it

>>10572116
Don't flip the bread over

>>10572139
But when you bite it they fall apart and get on your desk and then your whole office smells like fish and people complain to hr

>>10570404
Most people on /ck/ were only fed frozen meals, canned soup and fast food their whole lives, why is this surprising to you? Where are you from where people actually eat sardines?

>>10572116
You're an adult (presumably) and you need strangers on the internet to tell you how to eat a slice of bread? Fold it a little in your hand, hold your plate underneath as you take a bite, stop being a fucking imbecile, learn how to eat.

>>10570106
I'm always surprised when people reach the age they can write without having had Sardines even once. They are basically a global food without ethnic connotations, cheap and available everywhere. How could you manage to avoid them in the first place ?

>>10570106
soy oil :/

>>10570106
Make sure to eat it with spoon fools of chunky peanut butter after eac bite, don't mix them but eat them as if they were both food on your plate.

Trust me, I come from the south. Hunters eat that shit all the time, but its sacrilege not to eat it along with peanut butter.

>>10570413
My mom used to do that but with black bread and cottage cheese. I used to give her weird looks as a kid then tried it out and it's pretty good.

>>10572116
Dont have tremors

>mfw I started to eat deenz religiously
>more religiously than my wife consumes Starcucks

>mfw our relationship is head south because
>the kitchen smells like fish
>you are poisoning your body with cheap fish
>deenz aren't healthy

I can't wait to get a divorce over this

>mfw I started to eat deenz religiously
I too bring a can of deenz to church. At first mom was pissed when she found out, but then the priest followed my lead and started bringing his own deenz (something about how fish are important in the bible) and now she can't say shit. Especially when he blessed them with holy water for me.

>>10574722
that might work as long as the priest doesn't ask you to bring him 10% of your deenz

>>10572327
never happened to me

How close are deenz and anchovies in taste?

>>10575316
Not close at all

>>10575316
anchovies are more salty, course I only had them on pizza once

>>10575316
from a can, incredibly different. anchovy are very pungent, salty, oily. sardines taste more like regular fish, and only oily if you get them packed that way. most types just come in mustard or hot sauce so you'll have a lot of that flavor, then the aftertaste of fishy fish, like a less salty potent clam

>>10570548
This. Even coffee here does it now

>>10572116
Smoosh them onto the bread

>>10570453
Wow I've never thought to put mustard on hot sauce packed deenz or vice versa. Is it good?

>>10570404
A lot of people don't like 'strong' tastes. Hence why Tuna's the most popular canned fish since it tastes so bland/can be covered up with mayo.

>tfw canned Smoke Oysters used be good with like 9-12 oysters in the can, but now when you get a can there's 30 tiny little oysters that taste like bitter garbage

>>10575490
Oh yeah, still distinct, people who want to die also put on capers and anchovies

>>10570106
Are those any good? I'm suspicious of deenz that aren't brisling, since lots of the bigger fish have very obvious bones, and the skinless/boneless ones are usually horribly bland.

>>10575519
Get canned mussels from Spain, they'll scratch the same itch but are much higher quality.

>>10570106
>Product of China
Put it in the bin mate.
You can fish these little shits out of any sea, no need for heavy metal poisoning from across the globe.

Just picked up a can of sprats from the store, anyone here try those?

What do smoked oysters taste like? Which brand should I try?

>>10577073
smoked with fishy after taste, The difference is the texture, they are kinda chewy

>>10577073
They taste like chicken.

butter, sesame seed oil, tobasco, garlic, toast

and put deens on top of course

fuck you /ck/ i literally had a dream last night about going to the store and buying exotic canned and preserved fishes because of these threads

>>10577633
Lmao wow! Same here. I bought so many deenz last week of different brands.


Makes my pee smell like deenz... Oddly still makes me hungry. The small can with crackers will fill you up all day!

>>10577367
>tobasco
I see this a lot on here.
Is it a regional spelling?

>>10576093
Mfw i bought deenz in soybean oil with jalapenos. Kept thinking about this meme.

Made avocado and green onion paste. Smeared on bread and crackers. Ate with my deenz... Deenz were very good actually .

>>10575519
i love when the can is full of small ones instead of 9-12 big ones.
i'm eating some right this second.
i put some sliced white onion in white vinegar with black pepper and celery salt last night to eat with fried fish, but i ended up ordering pizza.
smoked oysters, pickled onion, hot sauce and some saltines.
i wish they were smaller is all, but it's a great early snack.

>>10576099
I love sprats usually get em whenever i find them cheap at the russian store.

>>10570404
Sardines is what poor people eat
Might as well eat spam

>>10579311
Except deenz is good for you.

>>10570404
There are adults like my parents who only made plain hamburger, fried porkchops (thin only), or fried/baked chicken (and only ate breasts/wings). Season everything with Lowry's seasoned salt.
Never used a carrot, onion, celery, tomato, lemon, anything, "we don't like that stuff"
Never ever fish

>>10579348
it has what the body craves and helps us play.

Fucking hobo stink fish is rotting your brain.

>>10570106
Since I started eating them every day and my virility has skyrocketed.

Picked this up at the Asian market for giggles

>>10579407
You trying to have a kid soon?

>>10579655
Very firm, meaty flavor/texture with a delicious fermented black bean sauce with some whole beans included. Holy fuck, this is some top tier canned fish. I couldn't resist drinking the juice left in the can after I finished the eel.

I like deenz, but for me my obsession is oats. Any crossover oatheads here?

Just tried the top two, I liked the one on top a lot. After trying a bunch of different kinds of deenz I've decided I like the Brunswick brand stuff the best. Cheaper than the King Oscar flavored (Mediterranean style, Cracked Pepper, etc.) deenz too, so that's a plus I guess.

I live in a remote area so I only have Walmart and dollar stores like Freds, Dollar General, etc. so my brand choices are somewhat limited.

Enjoy your mercury poisoning from bigger fish then, plebus.
