Sardines, love them or hate them?

I'm glad this came up because I generally don't think to buy them but I do like them now and then, and they're supposedly good for us. They remind me of my dad who served as a medic in WW2 for 3 years, and I think he lived on canned goods the whole time. When I was a kid, if he went to the grocery store he would bring home sardines, canned Vienna sausages (I suspect the Viennese people cringe at that name!), and - of course - Spam.

Nope, sorry. I have to correct this in case it makes anyone else nervous about eating them. Nothing that comes in a can is raw. Canning is a heat process. Sardines are so thoroughly cooked that their bones are soft and considered edible. Eating them gives you a healthy dose of calcium. Crunch, crunch. I guess it's an acquired taste.

I better get some tomorrow. If it wasn't so late I'd get some for night lunch. I love them right out of the can, but sometimes I have them for lunch on a plate with a nice heep of cottage cheese & some tomatoe slices & some sliced sweet onion. I am also going to try some of the ideas you all have. I always get the ones in spring water but I'm going to try the ones in olive oil.
