I love Sardines. I grew up eating them with my Grandfathers and Dad for lunch outdoors. Saltines, apple cider vinegar and coke's. Man, I never outgrew it. We used to be able to get really good "deens" from almost any store, but now it seems that we are so limited in choices. I like them packed in olive oil. Except for King Oscar and Bumble Bee Wild Caught the other options leave a lot to be desired .Brunswick was really good but I think that they have closed...they were the last cannery in North America. I can get some damn good "deens" on the internet but, damn...used to be a staple in any and every country store.

Yep, sardines with a dash of vinegar, served up on a saltine with a thin slice of onion.
Darn if that don't bring some memories back.

I buy the sardines packed in hot sauce. My wife hates them but I will happily eat every can I get my hands on. And like OP I started eating then because my grandpa and trying to be cool like him.
Sardines and smoked oysters I'll eat but my wife tells me I can have her share.... I just say ok.
I like them with the 4 corner crackers too. lol

MLS2. Great thread. Many great memories of picnic like lunches while working with my Dad on his Toms Peanut truck. Back in the sixties. Sardines (packed in oil) drain oil, add vinager. Saltines, potted meat (yeah, I've read the ingredients) Vienna Sausage and Coke in the little bottles!!
You da man.
You da man.
Never all that big on Sardines, but did eat my share while fishing. Now if we gonna talk Vienna Sausage I can hold my own. I discovered the Chicken style and now that's all I'll eat. Regular saltine crackers and a bottle of water..... God's little 5 minute snack pack....
Like mine with hot sauce. Here lately I've taken to eating smoked herring and I really like them. They're larger and with a dash of hot sauce you're really working with something!

Potted meat & Vienna Sausages??
Oh yummy!!
Grew up on those as well and I guess they didn't hurt me cause I'm still here.
I liked to slice the viennas and fry them...
Then make a sammich with bread, Duke's, & mustard (French's btw, if we're talking yellow).

Sardines with my dad in the cab of the train he drove. Frackers and LeSueur early peas out of the can. That was living...
I've been getting the Season boneless and skinless 'dines at Costco. A shake of hot sauce or vineager and your in business!
This guy is amazing. Now he is a sardine guy and he is from NC. Plenty of info...history...videos...etc. He rates many, many brands of "dines". http://mouth-full-of-sardines.blogspot.com/ By the way, the Aberdeen NC Sardine Festival is coming up soon, it's a blast. Good people and good times.
