Nothing Portuguese around your area? The Portuguese would have us believe they live on sardines!

When I was in Madeira I went to a lovely little cafe on the coast. On the menu was sardine sandwich. I imagined something fresh from the see and sofisticated so ordered it. Nope, the barman opened a tin of sardines in tomato sauce and slapped them between two slices of white processed bread.

My life what a tasty butty that was. By coincidence I was looking at an online Spanish food shop earlier today (sobrasada and blood sausage were my targets) and I came acrosss tinned sardines. I will be buying in the new year.

Have to say I recently bought a tin of sardines; something I don't ever recall having bought before. I used them to make a "montadito" - basically, a Spanish version of a bruschetta.
Wow - I can't believe I've never tried them before. Really great!

What did you do? Just put them on bread or did you do anything else to the sardines?

I was really surprised by this as they are both an old school staple and a gourmet delight in the UK.
 
So based on karadekoolaid post, I also grabbed a tin of sardines.
Then I had to go search for my tin/can opener and realised I hadn't used that one for a long long time.
Gave it a rinse and opened the tin.
