Yesterday,
Macrine and I had Tome' Sardines, scrambled eggs and fried rice for
breakfast. We have not eaten sardines for quite a while, so the taste
of sardines followed by Papaya from Mexico (Maradol) was a gastronomic
delight.

Papaya( Maradol) is not as sweet as Philippines Papayas, but it is much
cheaper here in Northern California and available all year round. |
The breakfast was prepared by Macrine's
caretaker- a Filipino-American who also like sardines. The above brand
of sardines is in olive oil with pickle flavor and pepper. I purchased
it at our local Pinoy grocery store. I like canned sardines in olive
oil and a little bit spicy instead of in tomato sauce or in water.
The name “sardine” refers to more than twenty types of small, oily,
saltwater fish in the herring family. They may be eaten fresh or
preserved. Sardines are incredibly nutritious. For just one tin of
Atlantic sardines (3.75 ounces, at about 191 calories), you get about
23g of
protein, 10.53g of healthy
fats (rich in omega-3 fatty acids), as well as
vitamin D and tons of
vitamin B12,
not to mention a long list of other vitamins and minerals. Moreover,
sardines are relatively low in contaminants such as mercury. For canned
sardines, look for those packed in water or
olive oil. For more details read:
