If there was ever a sardine eating contest, I’d be the winner of that. I really like my sardines!
I’d give you a run for your money on that. Nobody else I know likes them so they are ALL MINE!
Anchovies, on the other hand, y’all can have.
Perfectly fried, hot and salty, thin French fries would be my undoing. But I get filled up pretty quick and need a nap.
My Italian friend would take a big whole sardine, like 5 inches long (or bigger), put olive oil, salt and pepper on it, hold it above his head and chow it down. I couldn’t do it..the raw head and tail were not edible to me! (let alone everything else) Maybe you should amend your statement saying you would win a canned sardine eating contest. Those things wouldn’t fit in a can. Still don’t know he did it, but them EYE-talians don’t play at chow time!!
