Well,
I guess I was typing out loud.  I thought I was just thinking that, so I came back to see, and there it was!!!  I guess I was typing out loud, but I must have thought I was posting a blog about pickles and sardines.  Right after I got back from the market, I had the sardines open real quick, but there were only burger chip pickles.  Actually, that worked out real well.  Pickles, sardines, linburger diced, all rolled up in a fresh whole wheat tortilla.  I'm going back for more very soon.     JJ

OBP, good Lord, NO!
The "P" word was all in your imagination. You should just go back to your regularly scheduled blogging. Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.  Nothing. Nadda. Ziltch. This is all an illusion. Really. K, bye.

Spiffy,

So you were what?  Opening sardines, cut your finger on the can, then were opening the pickles?  Since this is an older post than the wedding one, can I assume that you were having a snack before the wedding?

Well, here's the deal:  Open the Sardines first (the ones in mustard are my favs.)  Then open the pickle jar OVER the can of sardines.  All of this should be done at the kitchen sink.  When the pickle jar flys open and juice goes everywhere, some will get in the sardines and the rest will mostly go in the sink.  Wear a raincoat and have paper towels nearby.  Rinse the pickle juice off of your hand quickly in tap water.  Stab the end of the pickle that you want with a fork.  Spin the fork while lifting the pickle with it.  Spin first, then spin and lift.  If the fork operation fails, resort to a corkscrew.  Voila!  Pickles, sardines in pickle juice, pickle/sardine Whors-Diverse, ready to eat.  Sour Rye bread,  various crackers, optional.  Sounds great.  I'm headin' for Food City Market rite now!!!

Hope I helped---  JJ     Chef  Extraordinare

Jems, I'm an odd child, huh? I am certain you have known that
for a very long time by now!! No new news. Mom's been telling me that all my life.

Justsouno, I can't understand how people can eat them either
even though I do like fish. The problem with the sardines for me is that they're whole! Heads and all! It's as if they're "looking at you" when you eat them. Creepy. Oh, and thanks for the picture compliment. Shucks.

Alf, really? I didn't know that.
Well, regardless, you can have them! Yick.

Yer an odd child, m'dear!
Actually, in Hawaii, lots and lots of people still eat sardines from those tins.  I'm not one of them, but I see it a lot.

This is really great. I haven't opened a can of sardines in years
but I agree with you they are easier to remove than pickles. I hate sardines but my dad loved them. He would drain the can, chop them and an onion very fine and add a dash of horseradish and put those things on crackers at least once a week. I haven't thought of that since I was a child~~that was a long time ago. BTW, cute photo of you.

Hmmm, Alfy, it seems to me that YOU eat sardines! You must in order
to know such details of the modern packaging of them. Blach. I can't imagine eating fish from a tin, but K, suit yourself. Who am I to judge?

OBP, I dunno where I come up with this stuff, but it IS TRUE, isn't it???
I mean, can you honestly say such things have never happened to you?

Spitfire...
Maybe the term should be "stuck like a pickle", or "wedged like a pickle",  By the way, I know many people who still relish the sweet nectar of the sardine, the cans are easier to open now than they used to be though.
