Us Canadians have historically liked to make as many things as Canadian as possible, even if that means just slapping a new wrapper on the stuff. Also the best orange soda is still Orange Crush up here in Ontario.  Got these dines for 3.65 or so at the local Metro not on sale, can't confirm for other Canadian goons whether you can get them at Loblaws. Is this generally how KO packs their dines? I don't know if Clover Leaf buys just the fish or the packaging too. So I cracked them open and had the first half on some toasted baguette with lemon juice and/or cholula hot sauce. I haven't had a lot of dines but these were pretty great and didn't taste too fishy. I then took the other half and whipped up a kind of dine salad with some chopped onions, tiny bit of mayo, pepper and a little vinegar that went pretty great with some carrots. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on bristling dines in water or tomato sauce to try the difference, but I'd call this a success.

Had some Brunswick kippered snacks yesterday, and happened to notice that apparently they are a subsidiary of Bumblebee. I've been kind of enjoying slumming with sandwiches made from the Bumblebee sardines in hot sauce, so this didn't strike me as too bad a thing.

When I was young and the Good Eats episode aired where alton brown made the Sardacado Sandwish in the OP, I felt personally insulted he was pushing sardines so hard because I thought sardines were gross. Now I have avocados ripening with the explicit intent to make one for myself. Oh how times have changed. I just made a bootleg version where I toasted whole wheat bread and added parsley, vinegar, black pepper, and chili paste to the dines and made a sandwich. I was at a 1k calorie deficit for the day so I needed something a little extra and it was an excellent decision.

Yeah that's almost exactly what KO looks like Maybe exactly The fish in your pic are a little larger than KO usually are but fish do vary

Same printed bag over the can, too. I bet they're made in the same facility and of the same stock, just rebranded for leafoids

I think it would be good if the way you requested dines from someone is you mailed them dines without asking and then they went "oh man gotta mail back some deens" but that would involve publicly sharing addresses so I think keeping it to "I have this, pm me, we can exchange fish" is fine

If you want to give away dines, go ahead. If you want to exchange dines, do it. If you want to buy or sell dines, that's okay just remember that buyer beware. The sheet is just a way to find people with dines and people in need of dines and to be able to contact them. The rest is up to you. Anyway,  here is the link to the sheet. I'm going to continue working on it, but it's pretty self-explanatory for now. I put in just the brands I've seen around my area, so feel free to add your own brands to the far right. If you can't be bothered with formatting, that's fine, I'll try to clean it up as people add brands and types. Also, and I think this is important, try to think about whether or not anyone would want that brand of dines. Consider how widely available they are and if they are even any good. For reference, you may want to use the Mouth Full of Sardines blog.EDIT: It's conditionally formatted to make it easier to browse, so use the key.

I was walking through the grocery store tonight, feeling pretty hungry, when I saw King Oscar sardines. I've never eaten sardines from a can before, but I'd read this thread, and I felt compelled to try them. I made a simple sandwich of rye, sardine, sambal oelek.  It was good. Thanks goons.

Millionnaires are the best Sardines in Canada. Clover Leaf and Brunswick are usually garbage, unless you get the brislings. Anyhow, try them if you see them, they have a slightly smoked flavour, which is boss. Then you will be part of the club.

Sheep-Goats posted:Canadians have a little of that UKness in them that makes them prefer really bland branding. Like in the UK if there was a new orange soda they'd call it "Orange Drink" and be really proud of that poo poo and in Canada it'd be like "Citrus Sip" and in the US it'd be "Savage Sections from Roky Erickson" Roky Erickson fuckin rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsARUH_t8Ao

BraveUlysses posted:They're not worth 2 bucks  I just saw that they were cheaper than usual and thought about trying them since KOs are never on sale and I can't afford those either.I got a tin of chicken of the sea kipper snax from a dollar general the other day and they were ok. Comparable to the brunswick ones. I still think CotS boneless/skinless sardines at $1.50 a can are a good price and a great tuna substitute for people who don't like the bones.

Continuing this line of enquiry, Snow's minced clams, while not smoky and amazing, make for rad pasta with a bit of red sauce and a bit of basil. If relatively light on calories clams packed in water isn't your thing you could probably fix that by piling clam + sauce on a baguette and toasting brie or mozz over it
