Last US sardine cans being packed in Maine

[Mr. Sandman]

I don't think capitalism had much to do with the demise. Changing tastes and over seas comp. were the causes. I just could not resist the Hope and change jab...more jobs lost in a region that really can't afford it. I bet the packing plants in china and taiwan stay in business...How do they do it???health care, minium wage, retirement...hmmm)

Reasons and politics aside, there is nothing like a sardine and onion sandwich on rye toast when you are offshore fishing.

Talk about an acquired taste.
How much scope do you gotta chase that bad boy down with ?

I tried once... couldn't even take a bite. Power to you guys that eat them right out of the can.

When I was in the Navy we always had some smart ass sailor that would microwave sardines and smell up half the ship during the midwatch. I couldn't get by the odor to try them.

Sorry bout that , I never nuked em, but sardines in mustard sauce or smoked oysters were a favorite of mine when the seas picked up. I miss seeing the clear bags filled with bug juice puke. ...

If smoked oysters is high on your yummy food list, you should never eat higher than Taco Bell. Your palate wouldn't know the difference. Save your money for new plugs and cheap booze.
