Classic, as Iearned at my daddy's knee:
1)Grab the fish by the tail.
2)Lay the fish across a soda cracker (saltine), break off the part that
hangs over and replace it in the can for the next bite.
3)Cover the sardine-and-cracker with a second saltine. Stuff it into your
mouth and begin chewing (while assembling the next mouthful.)
Just about the quickest fast food you can find--and the oil, as with raw
eggs in milk, etc. can line the stomach for the next drinking bout.
I prefer the kind packed in mustard, but will take the tomato sauce pack as
second choice. Have to kind of salt-and-pepper the oil pack variety.
Size doesn't really matter in this sandwich preparation.
I believe sardines and other oily fish are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, not
to mention iodine.

They're also rich in calcium. (Especially with whipped cream and vanilla

Thank you, sir. Um, ma'am. Comrade. I look forward to eating them as per
your advice. (I suspect they are not keyboard-friendly snacks.)

Mash them up, season with lemon juice and spread on hot toast.

They're in olive oil, but they're Moroccan. They were very cheap; that
can't be a good sign.

Oooh, that sounds good too. But we're out of bread. Perhaps I'll mash
and season them, then spread them on crackers -- thus combining your and
Pat's recipes (sorry, John, but we're out of whipped cream as well).

My father used to always mash them up in a bowl with chopped raw onion,
and spread them on toast. I grew up thinking that sardines were
zingy-tasting, not realizing that was entirely due to the onion.
My husband eats them straight out of the can with a fork, as a snack. I
think you have room to maneuver, Sara.

You can also put them between two slices of white bread and use up the whole can
at once...none of this "break off the part that hangs over" foolishness....
If you want to go for a little more variety of presentation, you can cook them
into a frittata...add cream cheese and chives to taste....r

Good so far, but then put them back under the grill to toast the
sardines as well. This was a standard light meal when I was young
(56s/60s) as I suppose tinned sardines were cheap.

Fast food is fast food--and no dirty dishes to wash. We ate this on the
riverbank or in the boat on those summer fishing days. You see, no
implements were needed. The sardine can had a roll-me-open top. I have
tried it while driving, but it doesn't work. You gotta use the other hand
now and then or it gets messy. But it was fun trying it one-handed.
I think I might try that recipe from Laura --lemon juice, mash the fish into
a paste, spread on toast. But a frittata (sounds like Buttafuco, doesn't
it?) doesn't appeal to me at all. Mixing eggs and sardines?

Despite the fact that I was just joking, there actually is (was?) a company
in England making fish and chips ice cream. Of course here in Northern
California the city of Gilroy has the annual garlic festival, which always
includes garlic ice cream. That might go well with the sardines. I prefer
the Spanish boquerónes, which are called "white anchovies" here, just plain
with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of black pepper. I'm not sure if
they prevent (or cause) furballs or have as much calcium or omega three
fatty acids.

That sounds horrid. Brown bread Ice cream was nice. Chilli ice cream was
nice.

I've been there! There are factory outlet stores and very bored shop
assistants and English tourists and lots of Garlic. Plus, it was my first
time seeing Americans parking near one store, shopping, then getting in
their car and driving the few metres (or yards) to be near the next store,
and then shopping etc. I wonder if anyon has ever measured the distance
from store to car repeated versus the distance just walking from store to
store?

Actually, that sounds foul.
A bit like the ice-cream flavour crisps that were sold here a while aga.

That's OK. They are the same ones who will have a double cheeseburger,

If the oven's hot for something else, you can put the opened tin in
there for a few minutes, then spread on toast or do whatever. Chili
sauce is good.
On hot plain boiled rice with lots of soy sauce is one of the "comfort
foods when skint" in the recipe book I wrote for my university-bound
children. If less skint, add chopped spring onion or chives, chopped
tomato, cucumber, whatever.
I haven't tried with lightly-fried chopped bitter gourd, but if you
like this weird Indian veg it should go well.

Except that...
From the San Francisco Chronicle, Jean Weininger states that "studies have
shown that people who use artificial sweeteners don't necessarily reduce
their consumption of sugar -- or their total calorie intake. . . . Having a
diet soda makes it okay to eat a double cheeseburger and a chocolate mousse
pie"
(from http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/symptoms.htm)
Seems some fast food burgers have over 20g of sugar, which not that much
different from the amount of sugar in an average serving of coke (10g per
100mL - so I guess 25g for a 250mL serving), so you'd think anyone serious
about reducing sugar intake wouldn't be eating burgers in the first place.

Let the "studies" people loose and they will confirm, or deny, any
preconceived notion you want.
So when I order a cheeseburger and a Diet Coke you assume I am in
denial. An assumption is made that anyone ordering a Diet Coke is
making a statement about their, and by implication your, eating
habits. Take my word for it, it is not about you. Has it occurred to
anyone that there are many people who prefer the taste of Diet Coke?
I haven't been able to get down a Coke for the last 30 years because I
find it just too cloyingly sweet. Diet Coke tastes similar to what a
Coke at a soda fountain tasted like in the 1950s or 60s where they
were invariably thinner in syrup than the bottled version. And, to
me, today's decaffeinated diet version tastes even better.
A cheeseburger and a Diet Coke makes a lot of sense to me, if you like
cheeseburgers, and you like Diet Coke. Does it have to be more
complicated than that? Would this have been an issue if the original
person had ordered their cheeseburger and fries with a glass of water?

JEWISH FRENCH TOAST
In a little butter, saute some sliced onion. Put the sardines and
some sliced mushrooms on top. In a small bowl, mix 2 eggs with just
enough milk to make a smooth mixture. Break a matzo into the mixture,
and pour it into the pan. Cover with a plate. When the plate becomes
hot to the touch, remove & drain it. Cut the contents of the pan in
four pieces with a spatula, and turn them over. Turn off the heat.
Add salt & pepper to taste; by the time you have done that, the other
side is finished. Transfer to the plate & eat.

I had cabbage ice cream once, in a town where cabbage is one of
their special products. It was just horrible. They also have
things like "cabbage kimchi" or "cabbage-kimchi bread".
Speaking of cabbage. Does "cabbage" have a connotation of
"pregnancy" or "new-born baby" in English? In a French movie
I saw the other day, they were using cabbages to suggest them,
and I wondered if it means the same in English-speaking countries.

I'm not sure about the actual adage, but when small children ask their
parents where they came from, parents used to say "I found you in a
cabbage patch" rather than to go into the birds and bees story.

In England, parents would say "A stork brought you". I notice that storks
have a similar connection with delivering babies in America, too.

I would suggest toast, rather than crackers. A little worcester sauce
might not go amiss either. Personally, I eat them in a bread and butter
sandwich with various salad vegetables like tomato, lettuce, etc. You
may find them rather strong tasting to start with. You can buy smoked
sardines here in W Australia, but I haven't tried them yet.

From a website: "Currently, Mattel still makes Cabbage Patch dolls.
However, the dolls do not have cloth bodies--the dolls continue to be
all-vinyl play dolls. The dolls are generally 14" or smaller, and
most of them have a "gimmick"--they play on water-toys, swim, eat, or
brush their teeth. Most of the Mattel play Cabbage Patch dolls are
available at mass-market retailers such as Toys R Us for prices
generally under $20."
I wish they hadn't written "Currently" there. If Mattel still makes
them, they didn't need "Currently".

I think kimchi is usually made of chinese cabbage.
Using cabbage instead of chinese cabbage is rare
