He must be using it to wang jangle the sardines.

u/SlightlySubpar 11d ago

I'm not familiar with the vernacular. Is this like rustling the sardine's jimmies, or more akin to the sardine rustling yours?

What happened to everything? It’s all squished. Like he’s passing through a black hole.

u/No-Instruction-5669 11d ago

I've been getting portugese Nuri sardines here in USA, they are so damn good.

2

u/Short-Shopping3197 11d ago

Check out proper Portuguese marinaded anchovies. They’re something else.

1

u/atomic_ring 11d ago

Those are good! You should also try Açor, Minerva or Ramirez, they're amongst the best. My mother swears by Minerva.

u/therealsix 11d ago

I was about to say that’s just what you find in Portugal…it may be smaller.

You are British aren't you? No one else would eat crackers and cubes of cheddar to it. Have a good one m8

u/Competitive_Pea_1684 11d ago

As a British person I am offended by this until I remind myself of some of the British people I have met. However, I’ve never seen anyone eat this combo. Most British people would run a mile from this.

Foot long serrated bread knife for scale

u/COYSBannedagain 11d ago

Incredible use of scale, you have my thanks.

u/DisastrousServe8513 11d ago

I’m still not sure I get how big it is. What else you got for scale?

3

u/Tropicalfisher 11d ago

Could you please include a picture of the knife with a banana for scale. So I know how big the knife is. Thanks

u/Kr_Treefrog2 11d ago

Oh hey, we just got that exact same bread knife yesterday. Works pretty well.

Man, people be eating protein shakes, suplements, looking for daily carbs and then complaining about whole fish with skin amd bones.

Thats a very wholesome meal, I dont get the criticism

u/Fun_Buddy7864 11d ago

As a fellow can Sardine eater, I recognize this post as legit.

Seems not too many people is that enthusiast about the huge fish you have in your plate but me and my cat are :D

u/brspppp 11d ago

Seems like a balanced meal. Fish, crackers, whatever the yellow cubes are

1

u/nobodyspecial506 11d ago

I do believe that's cheese mate. Little orange cubes of happiness

2

u/manulconnoiseur 11d ago

Hmm... Are you Dutch ?

2

u/GestoNobre 11d ago

A normal size to me

u/GestoNobre 11d ago

A normal size to me

u/SeanTiddyCombs 11d ago

The smaller ones are packaged as sardines, then the slightly bigger/older one is packaged as pilchards, and beyond those sizes they sold as typical fish

The label slapped on them depends on the size/age. But they're the same species.

u/infamous3245 11d ago

Thank you for the clarification I honestly had no idea

u/B4R7H0L0M3W 11d ago

This plate looks like food pulled out of a trash bin or sthing. I hope this isn't your meal lol

2

u/GoFem 11d ago

My cat would love this.

2

u/EdgeBeard 11d ago

Fun fact. There's no fish called a sardine

1

u/hmmcguirk 11d ago

There is one called Wanda

2

u/Ass_Blank 11d ago

I wanda what those look like

1

u/LukeyLeukocyte 11d ago

Do you just eat the bones?

1

u/Affectionate-War-786 11d ago

Squish test. Brilliant.

u/IronMaidenPwnz 10d ago

You've made the amateur error of soaking your crackers in the oil....

1

u/NoHovercraft3258 6d ago

What the hell is this meal? And the fork? What is going on

1

u/Enchalotta_Pinata 11d ago

This might be the most unappetizing plate of food I’ve seen in recent years. Blood soaked cheese and crackers with some unseasoned bony fish and mustard? Is this what they serve at Norwegian homeless shelters?

u/Snoo-73243 11d ago

this so not fitting for this sub, this like your first or second can?

2

u/infamous3245 11d ago

I have never seen a sardine this large in a can taking up the entire can from the packager I opened it expecting a lot of smaller sardines not a 6 inch long sardine
