You know....I’ve eaten a sardine in my life. Not really sure why, either. I’m not averse to canned fish or strong tasting fishes - heck, I eat anchovies, and I figure a sardine’s gotta be milder than that.

My one grandpa loved ‘em, though (sardines). He especially liked the kind that came packed in mustard.

A cupboard full of canned sardines and a few 50# sacks of rice - both quite cheap - will feed a family a good long while when TSHTF. Stock up!

Canned mackeral are actually tastier IMO, and 30-50# boxes of Japanese or Korean Soba noodles from the local Oriental supermarket are a tasty substitute for the rice if that gets old.

Dearest Shibumi - you do know that there is a special place in Hell for people who pun?

Isn’t herring a cold water fish? How does Morocco score the catch? Unless they are just tinned there?

After century of business, former Stinson seafood plant closing [Maine sardines]

Several good links for photos above. Prospect Harbor folk are hearty, but this has been tough.

Bumble Bee Foods, which has owned the plant here since 2004, attributed the closing to federal regulations that have reduced the amount of Atlantic herring, sardines before processing, that can be hauled from the sea.

It's not called The Great Dempression for nothing.

As I have been saying, soon a sociality security check for one month will be moer than the gnp.

They cannot continue violating economic laws and principles with impunity.

As long as there is one idiot and one parasite that votes, there will always be a Democrat politician.

As long as there is a Republican Party and Democrat Party, the Democrat will rule, regardless of the Numbers of Democrats vs. Republicans.

It is responses like yours from someone who has been here for so long that make me just want to sit in the background and say nothing. The big point is that all of the things that we made and did in America are being exported overseas due to government actions. The cheap labor will not remain overseas forever, and at some point there will be a collapse and most likely even a war. We will be in no position to fend for ourselves. Personally I believe that is part of the plan.
