8. +1.

[WheelWalker]

2. In oil. Preferably olive.

I tend to be a food purist.

3. What kind of question is that?

Is it asking about brand, flavor, region, ingredients, company?

I like them from Portugal, Morocco, sometimes Europe.

King Oscar's were Royalty back in the day. Only had them a couple times in the last 10 years, they were nothing remarkable.

I don't like sardines branded under our national labels.

I find ALDI's house brand pretty good.

7. Portugal

is in Europe...

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Yes, I know, I was referring to the rest of Europe

I've seen sardines from Poland for example.

[Goonch]

17. You're right......

The question sucks but your answer is splendid.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. lol

36. " What kind of question is that?" The "'cast a big net" type of question.. nothing specific and Yes I like sardines..nt

[Mossfern]

4. I buy a tin of sardines whenever I need to lose weight ......

After a morning attempt to eat one at breakfast, I don't eat for the rest of the day.

6. So many to choose from, probably this one ...

I call this one Bobby Jr, Jr.

[marble falls]

16. But all he needs to do is reverse and go with the flow! Like Bobby Jr, Jr did!

[displacedvermoter]

9. Anchovies for me!

[EYESORE 9001]

10. Those without egg sacs

I once got a tin of sardines that looked somewhat larger than usual. Many were full of very well-developed eggs, triggering my gag reflex. I have no problem with fish roe generally, but it looked bloody revolting in situ like that in the can.

12. No actual favorites, but I love sardines.

When I was a child, they were a special treat, served with saltine crackers by my mother, whenever my father was out of town. He hated them.

I've eaten many different brands from many different places. Mostly, I like them all, but don't like to pay the high prices for the "cool" ones. So, King Oscar sardines are just fine for me, and I like all of those, except for the ones in mustard. Those, I skip..

Side note: There are several YouTube channels of people trying every available sardine. If you like sardines, check those out by searching for "sardines" on YouTube. Fun.

27. My stepfather loved sardines with his beer.

I never knew what to get him for Christmas & usually got him a flannel shirt but one year I was working at a grocery store next to a liquor store & they happened to have Billy Beer so I bought a case & a couple of cans of sardines. The Billy Beer was a huge hit at the family bash since it was hard to find, & many years later he told me that was one of the best Christmas presents he ever got.

I think there was a type packed with mustard (?) that we'd wrap with pumpernickel bread & Swiss cheese.

I like them on toast

[senseandsensibility]

29. I'm not going to alert or anything

but doesn't this belong in the lounge? That being said, I'll weigh in. Don't think I ever had sardines, but a favorite of my grandparents when I was growing up was kippered snack in a tin. I guess it was some kind of pickled herring or something. I'm a picky eater, but it was actually pretty good.

[ornotna]

30. King Oscar

Mediterranean flavor.

[Scrivener7]

31. That's deep, dude!

[jmowreader]

33. I like kippered snacks but not sardines

Sardines are what you use to discipline unruly prisoners when nutraloaf stops working.

[CanonRay]

34. Any that I don't have to eat

[elocs]

35. Sardines are a great food for prepping since I won't eat them unless it's an emergency.

In water, never oil because you cannot know for sure just what kind of oil you are getting.
The taste of sardines? Gag me with a spoon.

[H2O Man]

37. The chocolate tofu ones.

[mitch96]
