Sardines
If there's a place in the world where this "piece" of wonderful food technology called the canned sardine is considered as a part of the local cuisine, that would be United Kingdom. You see, in our territory, what we consider "gustatory masterpieces" are foods that veer from strong flavours, such as garlic and don't have complex sauces. In as much the same way as the Chinese like their noodle dishes to carry the distinct and sharp flavour of their local herbs and Americans want their burgers and fries to ooze with calories, we want our turkey simply roasted. And it goes without saying that this sense of "simplicity" applies to how we like our fish to be cooked as well.
We like our fish to be cooked in a sense that it doesn't lose its natural flavor from overcooking. Actually, if the higher being didn't create extra-steamed fish to taste like paper, this dish would've caught the interests of our chef ancestors before and we would've been seeing it as a classic English dish today. But unfortunately, it does taste like paper. We like simplistic food, but we don't want them to be too simple that they lack any kind of taste (we have “human” taste buds, anyway). And because we do expect our fish to have some kind of flavor but not too strong, we realized that we were born to be patrons of canned sardines. And, as to how much we English People love sardines is the business of this site.
Welcome to sardines.co.uk! Here you'll realize that if you're English, you were really born to appreciate sardines. But if you already know that your taste buds are naturally “wired” to find sardines appetizing, we'll be useful to you too. We'll provide some sardine recipe and other information about sardines.
