Most disgusting breakfast

[BTTB]

I'm a picky eater . I don't like fish. I used to be able to tolerate canned tin fish but last time I tried recently it was absolutely horrible.

Personally, I can't understand why the bulk of the sardine cans produced locally are in tomato sauce.

If you want to enjoy sardines again, avoid these.

Unfortunately, there isn't much produced locally that doesn't come without tomato sauce, which is sad because we have great sardines off our coast.

Unless I can find the Saldanha sardines in vegetable oil I look elsewhere.

The SPAR keeps portuguese sardines, quite expensive but nice.

Otherwise look at what Woolworths have. Be sure never to buy sild sardines, I had a tin recently from them, gave it to the cat.
Check the tin, Portuguese is OK, and with Olive Oil preferable.

Also, if you like Tuna, check Woolworths, they keep the white meat Tuna in little glass jars.
White meat Tune is made from Longfin Tuna, whereas all other Tuna is made from Skipjack.

Thanks, will give these a try

Best combo with Bovril/Marmite is Avocado if you haven't tried it yet.

The Lucky Star sardines in the flat tins are terrible because they are not South African sardines.
They bring in sardines from overseas and repackage it. Maybe not all the time, but when there are no local sardines, this is what they use.

The only local sardines worth eating in my opinion are these >

That (middlecut) is mackerel, not sardines.

I also love sardines on toast, pity the local guys make all with tomato or other sauces and not pure with either olive oil or brine. I, however, simply rinse the tomato sauce off and it then is totally acceptable. Proper imported sardines in brine or olive oil is expensive!

Snoek pate on sourdough toast with butter is also delicious.

Might as well eat out a yeast infected hooker. Same flavour and texture.

I used to enjoy the Jutland brand Sardines in olive oil when I was a kid.

I see Makro still has them. They were R200 for a pack of 10 last year Dec, quite cheap for the quality. Sure as hell a million times better than the menstrual blood sauce and vaginal odour of Lucky Star.

Can't say I have any expeierence to compare those flavour and texture profiles

Each time I see this thread I am instantly reminded of:

"Whot is going on here???"

We produce lots of Olive Oil in South Africa, you'd think one of the local sardine canning companies would have cut a deal for cheap Olive Oil.
Even if it costs more to lay the sardines in Olive Oil, there are customers that prefer it to tomato sauce.

Had a can of Woollies imported Portuguese sardines in Olive Oil for lunch.
They were great with a few of my wife's pickled onions.

I've tried those, but the fake smoky flavour makes me nauseous

Frozen are ok-ish, and agreed that they are usually expensive.

Otherwise look at what Woolworths have. Be sure never to buy sild sardines, I had a tin recently from them, gave it to the cat.

Agreed,

Went off canned tuna after tasting some freshly caught Bonito Tuna sashimi right on the fishing boat. Tastebuds now ruined for life.

Me, me, me! I love fish. Kippers or haddock for a brekkie and any type later during the day

Try the White Meat Tuna (Albacore), it's quite good.
As mentioned before, all other canned Tuna is Skipjack

As far as Sashimi is concerned, also no thanks.
Have fishing friends who think it's great.

Seems the alternative is make your own polony:

Cold fish from the day before is great.
By cold fish, I mean fish that was braai'd, fried in batter or grilled.

Won't eat sardines for breakfast either btw.

When I did National Service in 87, one morning they served some sardine mush at the officer's mess at Heidelberg. TVL.
I took one look at this, and I ate porridge that morning instead.
The entire squadron of 120 people excluding about 5 of us, were confined to barracks for nearly a week, from food poisoning, it wasn't pleasant.
The five of us that didn't eat the sardines ate like kings for a week, we were literally the only ones at the mess every day. Steak and chips or whatever, as much as we could eat. The mess still produced food for 120 people every day.

Haddock in the pan cooked in milk for breakfast is quite acceptable. I think that could even be an English tradition.

Sardines for lunch or with crackers for evening snack.

Currently my go to breakfast is two boiled eggs. Free range (non canola), because it taste better.

During times when we run out of eggs, now and then, I will switch to Weetbix.

Weetbix: Microwave full cream milk. Add two weetbix to a bowl, two teaspoon sugar and the warm milk. Yes, coloured style.
