/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Holy shit, why didn't you tell me that sardines are this good? I'm trying some dirt-cheap deenz for the first time with rice, and I feel like I'm in heaven.

>>11814019
Btw what's the best way to eat these?

*subtle rusting and clinging noises*
*tearing cellophane followed by the yielding pop of the lid*
UHH
UHH
talking bout them /deenz/
UHH, if you know what I mee-hee-heeean
*you die -- happy*

>>11814031
gently slow cooked for 7+ hours

>>11814080
That's not happening, sorry. I'm currently eating my third deen out of four in the can, and there's no way the fourth is gonna last that long.

>>11814031
get the ones in olive oil. mix the oil with balsalmic vinger and dress a salad. serve with soup. I guess you could have a peice of bread too

Wait, are you guys saying /deenz/ are actually good????

Best deenz for the uninitiated?

>>11814109
Just get whatever's on sale in oil.

What do you eat deenz with? Rice? Crackers? Toast?

>>11814114
yeah

>>11814109
Get deenz packed in olive oil. I'd suggest gettings ones other than the very cheapest... that said the first anon ITT likes the dirt cheap ones so what do I know?
I like wild planet

>>11814119
For what it's worth, my dirt cheap ones are lightly smoked (aka smoke extract) Chicken of the Sea in oil. Polite sage.

>>11814125
Please tell me more about deenz. Are they like kippers? Strong fishy flavor? Salty?

>>11814109
it's hard to go wrong with king oscar

>>11814194
>Please tell me more about deenz.
you only had to ask
https://vocaroo.com/i/s1ITPqNKZ10f

>>11814194
Why not just get some yourself to try? It's not like they're expensive.

>>11814204
I just got some King Oscars. Good to know they were worth buying. I got some kipper snacks to try too.

>>11814208
Dude... that was amazing... I just... I... I know its all about the deenz.

Wow. Just wow. I fucking love it.

>>11814208
Omega three hee hee hee hee hee heeeeeeees

>>11814208
Okay seriously where did this come from? This is extremely high quality meme music. I must know more.

I feel inspired to write my own /deenz/ themed music.

>>11814433
Some based anon wrote that song for /deenz/ threads like a year ago. It's part of the reason these threads are so comfy.

>>11814114
Crispbread, lad

THIS NIGGA EATING DEENZ

I think I fucked up. I tried king Oscar Mediterranean style deenz and now I can't stand the taste of the $1 chicken of the sea in water deenz. The difference in quality is astounding but so is the price.

>>11814433
>Okay seriously where did this come from?
I wrote it man, while wagecucking at a grocery store. Bout a month after I wrote it I traveled across the country to sing in a concert, and I recorded the song with other musicians while I was there. I wish I could say we're all roomies in a band but this was just a one off thing while we were in town together.
In my opinion the song is elevated by the performance of the pianist (who asks "it's eight bars right?"). A New York professional, he is a real-life savant with perfect pitch. I only had to sing the song once a capella before he understood the key & chord progressions. His descending run at 1:32 makes me laugh every time, it's just so unnecessary. I never considered the song to be anything more that a cringe musical shitpost so it was a lucky opportunity to be able to throw talent at such a stupid jingle.
Just for the record: if a sardine company ever wanted the rights to the song, I'd tell them to blow me. It belongs to /ck/.

>>11817032
Thats fucking great man, good work and thanks for the story.

The piano definitely struck me as being really good, I was thinking "shit this guy can play real jazz." The singing is a perfect blend of talented and goofy.

It is a masterpiece. Hows the music career coming?

>>11817166
Music career? Hahaha get a load of this joker over here. thanks for the kind words anon. stay healthy and eat your fish

>>11816787
>in water

Sardines in water are pretty rough. You have to be hardcore to enjoy those. A cheap can that's packed in oil will be significantly better, even if it's not on the level of king oscar or club des millionaires or whatever.

>>11814102
They are they just have an unapologetically fishy flavor some people will never get past. Personally I think they are very good. I get the ones tinned in spicy tomatoe sauce and mix with diced onion, tomato, jalapeños and add a little jalapeño vinegar to make a quick spread for tostadas. It's a nice protein source that you don't have to worry about thawing out or cooking properly because it's shelf stable and ready to eat.

Deenz are an excellent source of protein and fats, on their own I like them enough but what are some quality combinations?

>>11818347
1. Toast
2. On rice
3. With leafy greens salad and acidic dressing

>>11814208
All bout the deenz

>>11818352
If I do toast would some butter be good too you think or is the sardines alone the best?

>>11818358
deenz are oily but if you want the dairy fat to cut the deenish flavour go for it matey. Even some jam, jelly, or marmalade would do fine.

>>11817205
I would pay to hear you sing. Dont stop. Theres too many bullshit fake indie rock pop rap musicians. Press on.

People appreciate it.

I really don’t like the smell or texture of seafood (even salmon and tuna make me gag) but I’m literally too poor for anything but deenz at the moment. How do I serve them without being reminded they are filthy seafood? My diet is so protein poor right now I’m starting to get genuinely unwell.

Anyone know of a good online ordering source?
Picrelated is the entire inventory of the supermarkets in this god forsaken country

>>11818959
You guys may not have great /deenz/, but those flakey savory /pies/ constitute some of the greatest takeaway food on earth. Count your blessings

Also what city do you live in?

>>11819168
yea but you cant just keep eating whole pies as a beer snack

>>11813776
/deenerz/ on saltiness w white onion and hot sauce

well worth the shit breath

Its all bout them deenz boys. Goodnight.

>mrw "baby, gimme the deenz"

The only deenz I find in the stores are all from polluted Third World hellholes; China, Viet-nam, India, etc.

Obviously not going to buy/eat those.

How do I find deenz that are from safe actual working countries?

>>11820136
Spanish ones are god-tier: Ramon Pena, Conservas de Cambados, Matiz, etc. tienda.com sells them.

You will need money though, they are far from cheap.

Is it rude to eat sardines in public? Sometimes I take a can for lunch when I am in a hurry. I work in a coffee shop and always feel vaguely guilty when cracking the lid. Because of the aroma, I mean.

>>11818959
I know it's bait but

I'd say yeah, it is a bit rude.
Same rule applies to anything with eggs. You anons know who you are.

Based and dean ween pilled

>eat some tomato sauce Sardines
>disgusting, way too sweet
>everything smells and tastes like them now
What the fuck, is this normal?

Anyone got a recipe for deenz or sprats with some sort of legume? Somehow the combination of deenz and lentils feels right in my head, but I don't know how to make it work.

>>11821528
shut the fuck up, you absolute homo

>>11821510
Thanks, I try

>>11814031
W/chopped onions and some pickles if you want to get fancy.

>>11821729
deenz and beans would not work, but deenz on rice is really nice

>>11821327
I eat deenz for lunch at work and keep them on the down low. Crack the tin in the lunchroom sink. Cover w/napkin and eat at desk.

My new favorite deenz

went to try my first deenz and they didn't have any

but they did have Beach Cliff herring "steaks" and I got the hot sauce one

did I goof?

What wine would pair best with Deenz and Saltines?

>>11814208

>>11814208
Love dem deenz

>>11814208

Im erect.

You can have summa deenz nuts!

>>11822804

>>11822794
There from Portugal, they actually have stores there that just sell canned fish and the layout is the same as a candy store

>>11823002

That would be awesome. My local grocery store only carries maybe 5 varieties at best. Not counting the kipper snacks

>>11823256

>>11823282

Dear God..... Its beautiful...

>>11823282

Willy wonka's brother, deen opened his own store.

>>11823336
>>11823343
It even had a ferris wheel

>>11823363

Didnt know portugal was all about their canned fish. Well done lads.

>>11823282
>>11823363
This looks amazing.

>>11823363
this is a /ck/ tier IRL shitpost

>>11823521
Not like they have anything of note except for port wine

normies don't know about deenz

>>11814208
this is really gay in a good way

Bump

>>11823363
I must have one.

>>11818959
In actual woolworths stores they have john west sardines in oil, they're pretty inoffensive

Any cheese that can go with deenz? I'm talking like cheese crackers and deenz in oil

>>11825181
Maybe something on the tangy side? Deenz are a strong savory and meaty taste so a complement would be something a lil tart to cut that based as fuck fattiness.

>>11817032
>Just for the record: if a sardine company ever wanted the rights to the song, I'd tell them to blow me. It belongs to /ck/.
Holy shit, you are the most based person on this board, right up there with dickered anon and Patti.

based wild planet deenz bro, these are good

>>11813776

Okay, you got me interested. How do you eat deenz, as a snack or as a main course? Just in general any tips for what goes with your first can? Switched to from tuna to pickled herring but willing to give deenz a try.

>>11823282
>>11823363
Where is this? Lisbon? Store name?

>>11826524
That's the beauty of them. Have em as hors d'oeuvre, in a salad, as a stuffing, incorporated into a main dish, or by themselves. Nothing beats some putting them on crackers, maybe some cheese, and wa la.

>>11818347
I like them mixed in mashed potatoes. Thinking about trying it with some fried rice.

>>11814031

Mix with tomato paste if they don't already come in it, Worcester sauce and lots of pepper, break them apart and spread on toast then in the oven for a bit.

The one on the left im gonna try this weekend the one on the right is my personal favorite.

>>11814031
spicy mustard, paprika and balsamic.

>>11827742
All together?

>>11814208
Fucking amazing no matter how many times I hear it

Best sardines ever. I eat them over rice. One of my favorite meals of all time.

>>11827560
Riga sprats are based, I have 20 in the pantry

>>11813776
threadly reminder to only buy the highest quality sardines

>>11822531
Spanish and Portuguese are the best sardines imo. Bella's in lemon olive oil are my favorite, the ones you posted are my second favorite. The place I get mine from also sells some Greek sardines and those are great too.

These threads are just as cringe as /sip/ threads. I really pity all of you and your lack of friends.

>>11826543
Yes Lisbon

The store is consevatvia something.....

Does /ck/ eat the bones?

>>11813776
Any of you London niggas been to tincan?

>>11829080
Of course!

>>11818347
i have them on crackers with cottage cheese

I usually buy these. I decided to look them up out of curiosity, and I couldn't find the on the company website, or anywhere but my (shady discount) grocery store's website. The ones with the full-lady-picture logo cost a dollar more. am I being poisoned boyos

>>11814119
the dirt cheap ones are are the mushiest most disgusting tins of literal slop. truly disgusting

>>11822700
Vinho Verde, Alvarinho, really any Portuguese white. Basque wines are good too.

So, I have had a tin of mediterranean king oscar deenz, but i've never in my life have even had a bite of deenz, and i am irrationally nervous about this shit. i know worst case scenario, ill just take a bite, not like it, and throw it out.. but i want so badly to like them so i can hang out with you guys in the deenz threads. i've been putting opening this can off for around 8 months now.

Bulk or bust

>>11830659
I don't care for the large size cans. Because the can is physically larger they have to be cooked for a longer period of time to ensure safety. That tends to fuck with the texture.

/deenz/-initiate reporting in, got me some of these just now. Will put them on crispbread with cottage cheese for some good protein breakfast tomorrow.

wish i could try all the exotic deenz in here!! posting muh deenz!

>>11830554
Only way to find out if you like them is to try them. Put them on crackers with some vinegary hot sauce.

>>11829376
I apologize for not being clearer. I mean to say that there are no deenz in sunflower oil on the Season website, and no packaging like this (without the illustration of the woman) anywhere but Ocean State Job Lot, which I find suspicious.

>>11813776
I had their Mediterranean deenz today, they're my current favorite. MMM olive oil, black olives, and such

Rate my deenz.

Collected on a trip I did through Poland/Germany/Denmark.

>>11831654

Wait fuck, wrong pic. Those are deenz I was able to source in my native Toronto.

Tfw just had oral surgery and can't have deenz for awhile

>>11829080

How would you even go about removing the bones? They're too soft to remove without a huge hassle surely.

herring is fine too

>Be medbro (Greek)
>enter the thread to post about the culinary art that is the Portuguese Canned Sardines Industry
Good to see more know and enjoy these god sent delicacies
Here is my personal favorites by country
Portugal: Pinhais,La Gondola, Nero
Spain: Minerva, Frinsa,
Italy: Pollastrini di Anzio
Greece: Trata, Leva (no oil only in salt)

>>11832097
Btw ezpz shit I do with them
1 can of sardines in olive oil

1 can of sardines with chili or whatever (the spicy variety)

canned sweetcorn

1 gherkin

2 sticks of celery

2 spring onions finely chopped

100 g mayonnaise

150 g strained Greek yogurt

Mint or chives to garnish


Finely chop the gherkin. Slice the celery. Clean and finely chop the spring onions. Empty the mayonnaise, yoghurt, sweetcorn, gherkin, celery, and spring onions into a large bowl and mix. Take out the sardines and cut into large pieces. Mix with all the other ingredients. Chill the sardine salad in the fridge for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh mint and serve on toasted bread.

>>11832035
With fillets all you have to remove is the spine.

I'm thinking of eating some /deenz/ on rye bread with cream cheese tonight. Anyone do this?

>>11834705
Sounds pretty JEWISH, anon.

>>11834714
oyyy vee

>>11834705

Anyone ever have horse mackerel? How does it compare to deenz

First time buying some quality Portuguese deenz. How'd I do, boys?

I prefer kippers

>>11842857
Oops..didn't have the brand names in that receipt.

Why the FUCK did Costco change the tabs on their tins? They literally break 100% of the time now. It's just a flimsy piece of paper barely even attached to the tin. You pull it and it just fucking breaks off without opening it. Fucking 8/8 so far have broken off without opening. THEY MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE ANYTHING AND JUST HAVE YOU OPEN IT WITH A KNIFE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'VE HAD TO DO FOR 100% OF MY TINS SINCE THE CHANGE FUCK YOU COSTCO

I might pick some up tomorrow, what goes good with it?

no crackers or bread or dairy...

>>11843111
Why

>>11843111
What I do half the time is just mash them in their tin and add hot sauce. Preferably a vinegar-based hot sauce because it helps balance the fat.

>>11822700
A white Bordeaux would work well, even a budget one.

Decent prices on large selection of deenz, but pretty expensive shipping. US-based, so shipping is 3 days or less.
