Looks delicious but I don't like the bones. I even fillet tinned sardines even though I know the calcium would be good for my old bones. Dislike the crunch. The vegies would be great though.
I cooked some last Friday. Dipped in seasoned flour and fried in olive oil, with some lemon for flavouring. They were eaten with our fingers, which is the best way.
Rachel can have the sardines with a squirt of lemon juice, I'll join in with the bread and butter and you're more than welcome to all those greens. I do not like the greens and boiled zucchini are far too 'orphaned' for me.
Thanks for the nice blog. It was very useful for me. I'm happy I found this blog. Thank you for sharing with us,I too always learn something new from your post. florarie florisis

I could eat all of that right now!
ReplyDeleteYou'd make a great greek!
DeleteI was born in the wrong place
DeleteI would eat the vegetables. I live next to the sea and will only eat battered fish from a chip shop. I love lemon juice.
ReplyDeleteI prefer my fish filleted but unfortunately that's not the locals like it!
DeleteLooks so good.
ReplyDeleteVery healthy!
DeleteI love sardines, bones and all 😁
ReplyDeleteThat's how we ate them. But they were very small! Very good for you
DeleteI’m drooling lol
ReplyDeleteMight have to send hubby to the fish monger lol
Will you find sardines though? Or do you prefer a nice fillet, like me
DeleteMore healthy and delicious, food!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis so healthy it needs a glass or 2 of wine to balance it out lol
DeleteLooks delicious but I don't like the bones. I even fillet tinned sardines even though I know the calcium would be good for my old bones. Dislike the crunch. The vegies would be great though.
ReplyDeleteThese greens are full of vitamins.
DeleteI cooked some last Friday. Dipped in seasoned flour and fried in olive oil, with some lemon for flavouring. They were eaten with our fingers, which is the best way.
ReplyDeleteI prefer them a little bigger and definitely fried but my husband eats these with relish
DeleteI cook over the barbecue as they are, nothing but a bit of lemon juice and eat with bread butter. All that other stuff, no no.
ReplyDeleteYou be eating your sardines 'orphaned' which is what they call anything plainly cooked here. I would definitely go for the bread and butter.
DeleteYes please - and I'll have Rachel's share of the greens, if she doesn't want them.
ReplyDeleteRachel can have the sardines with a squirt of lemon juice, I'll join in with the bread and butter and you're more than welcome to all those greens. I do not like the greens and boiled zucchini are far too 'orphaned' for me.
