Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi : I don't know how to check the Omega fats. It is not listed on the nutrition facts unless it is called something else.The total fat on the herring is 8g 12% and Saturated fat is 2.0 g 9%. On the sardines the total fat is 11g 17% and Saturated fat is 2.5 g 13%. The Trans Fat is 0 on both. I remember when my late husband tried to first introduce me to them - I thought YUCK - I'll NEVER eat those THINGS. Eventually I tried them and I liked them. He was Norwegian so naturally he thought I should LIKE them - HA. He also introduced me to Lingonberries instead of Cranberries for our Thanksgiving turkey - Ha. I learned a lot of new things from him and I'M SURE he learned a LOT of new things from me such as calling a paper bag a SACK instead of a PAPER BAG - HA. What would life be like without all these CULTURAL differences - Shirley from Southern Illinois > From: dougpapa@... > One very important comparison is the Omega fats > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Good afternoon, I don't mean to offend any of the sardine lovers here but i have a question.

I wanted to add to the posts about sardines. I too, love sardines and eat them for lunch a lot. I also love kippered herring. In fact, I had a tin of them for breakfast just yesterday. I just put them in a pie pan or cake pan and slice half an onion in little strips and put them around the herring and let them rest in the oil and I squeeze lemon juice on them. I put them under the broiler a couple of minutes. I have them with a cup of tea and I really enjoy it. I don't remember the price between the herring and the sardines. I'm afraid I'm not a good shopper. I just buy what I KNOW I like and I don't comparison shop. I'm trying to train myself to do better but not doing to good so far. Naturally, I prefer King sardines and herring. The herring is 130 calories for 1 tin and 70 fat calories. The sardines are 150 calories and 100 fat calories. I never noticed before but the herring is better all the way around. It has 16 grams of protein and the sardines has 14 grams. The herring has 60 mg 20% cholesterol and the sardines has 120 mg 40% cholesterol. The herring has 240 mg 10% sodium and the sardines has 340 mg 14%. That's interesting. This is the first time I have checked the nutrition label between the two. I think I actually like the herring the best so I will eat more of that now and have the sardines less often. I will have to check the prices the next time I go to the store. I don't comparison shop much because I live so far from the nearest large grocery store. It is about 16 miles to the nearest one. With the price of gas I just don't feel like I want to run from store to store. I would love to go to a bulk food store but I haven't made it yet because the nearest one is about 20 miles from me.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Great question, Sue. I think they are one of those foods you love or hate (like limburger cheese or " chitlins " ). It has been many years since I ate one, but I do like them. All this talk has made me determined to buy some next time I am in a store. As a child, I remember being intrigued that you could eat the bones, where in other fish, the bones could give you serious grief. W.

But we have never called a sack anything except a sack or a bag. Not in my area anyway. Phyl is home from the hospital. Sondy heads out to Mt. Vernon early tomorrow. I will stay home but plan to take the train up there a couple of days before she heads home and drive back with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Different things in life affect us in funny ways. As a child we ate a great many boiled potatoes with butter. For some reason I could not eat a potato for a long time after leaving home. I got over it but even now I can go a long time without potatoes and not miss them. When I do eat one it is usually baked. With all the trimmings! lol Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Sue, Your comment is a case in point whenever I am at a restaurant eating and another customer asks, " How does it taste? Does it taste good? " My standard reply is, " I like it hence I am eating it. I do not know your likes or dislikes. I may name two things I really like & you (the person I am talking to) may really like one while the other you may hate.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Do you think that's the French influence, Gerard?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 With respect to " idioms " each area has its own. Also there is " pronunciation " variations that can be quite confusing for those that are not familiar with the local customs. And naturally the locals can in turn recognize someone not from the area. As to " making groceries " I do not know how that came about.
