NATIONAL SARDINES DAY
November 24th recognizes these silver little fishes on National Sardines Day. They may not swim right up to your plate, but they sure do pack in the flavor.

While some people are afraid to taste these small, silver fish, others consider sardines a delicious snack enjoyed on their own or with crackers.

Sardines are several types of small, oily fish, related to herrings. While we might be most familiar with sardines packed in cans, some enjoy fresh sardines grilled. This small fish can also be pickled and smoked, too. When canned, they can be packed in water, olive, sunflower or soybean oil or tomato, chili or mustard sauce.

The term sardine was first used in English during the beginning of the 15th century, possibly coming from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia where there was an abundance of sardines.

Do you like sardines?

This was the only National Day listed for today!

I do not like sardines at all. As a matter of fact they make me gag just to look at them in the can. My ex loved them and ate them all the time.

Yes, I do like sardines. My dad bought them and ate them. Once in a great while I will buy them

I like sardines, especially the ones with tomato sauce. I haven’t eaten them in a long time because Jorge doesn’t like them. they are so good with avocado on them.

Ewww no! I can't even stand the smell.

Nope.
