So, zucchini squash, other squashes (like yellow squash), spinach and kale didn't make your list? And I imagine that onions, turnips and radishes were too non-boring to make the list?

Coincidentally, I had a surprisingly in-depth conversation with one of my co-residents about how we both like spam.

He's more of a spam & eggs or spam sandwich kind of guy.
I generally have a fried slice with my noodle soup, or make spam fried rice, or have some as part of a breakfast fry-up.

Didn't actually have any for a meal today, but for whatever reason, it seemed uniquely topical.

I changed my mind I am going to post in this thread cuz I got a new Samsung phone last week and I'm not really familiar with the camera on it this way I have something to take pictures of. It's a better camera than the one on my old phone. I know I said I would never post in this thread again but oh well, never say never.

Mushroom and onion omelette with fried ham smothered with white cheddar cheese sauce. Scallions on top. You can make anything taste good if you smother it with white cheddar cheese sauce.

Made homemade chicken soup, Meat from leftover chicken legs, peas and carrots and sliced potatoes. Had two bowls with ciabatta bread. That was nap worthy.

Has anyone had really good Brussel sprouts? My waitress asked me how (the vegetable of the day) tasted? I said good, but it was a bit of stretch. They were still warm which helped.

But I can't think of one Brussel sprout dish that ever came close to being something to write home about.

Apparently, they do originate in Belgium.

Had a popular branded canned chicken soup on Saturday.
Happened to read the ingredients... 3% chicken! The top ingredient by volume was water.
Supermarket own brand was 2% chicken!

2 level teaspoons of chicken in a mugful.

Truly pathetic.

Yes.

I can't stand them boiled; they are almost always overcooked.
Roasted doesn't usually go well.

Steamed and drizzled with garlic butter is pretty good. Squeeze of lemon optional.

EvenBob,

What kind of sardines are you going with?

(Another forum I used to be on had people who would get unwholesomely obsessed with sardines. I am fortunate to have a convenient store with an inundating array.)

I only eat sardines pack in the water. If you look them up the one of the best things you could be eating as far as a superfood goes. I was reading an article a while ago by a doctor who eats 5 cans of sardines a day and his blood work results are always off-the-charts good. They make great sandwiches, I generally mix mine with a couple other things and eat it like a salad. I've been eating a can of sardines a day now for probably at least 5 years. I bet I have 150 cans in the cupboard I do not want to run out. I buy them from Amazon 12 cans for $11. They come from Norway.

5 cans a day!

Would you mind eating 5 cans a day for a week and telling us how it goes?. I'm curious, but not enough to try it myself.

3 cans a day is my limit, but I usually go with the tomato sauce deenz, or kipper snacks (a salty smoked herring, packed in brine).
When I'm feeling bougie, I go with the Polar smoked brislings in oil ("cleartop"). That's a strict half can limit, because they're so rich. It's worth getting the recloseable jar.

You used to eat keto and most of your meals are keto. Now I notice you eating bread, or is this some kind of low carb bread?

Can someone remind me what’s wrong with healthy carbs? I forgot again

Back in the day, Americans had an obsession with no-fat. That obsession has been replaced with zero-carbs. What will be next? Zero-protein I guess

I was 191 pounds and ate 20 or less carbs a day and went to 157 pounds in 4 months. If you do low carbs your hunger disappears. I ate my food in a 6 hour window and then fasted for the next 18. You rarely ever get hungry if you do it right. I also walked a few miles each day as well. I eat meat every day and some days that is all I eat. Bacon, steak ham burg ect. Bobs vegetable selection is a perfect combination but it is up to you. The biggest challenge is to keep the carbs low. Eating lots of carbs will make you constantly hungry and is the reason you gain weight.

If your weight is not an issue eat what you want.

Sausage and red pepper stuffed eggplant. If you've never had stuffed eggplant you're missing a treat. Had what was left of the tomato soup next to it and of course it was even better than last night. I use the little cinnamon and allspice in the eggplant stuffing to give it just a little sweet taste.

After reading your post, I confirmed that sardines are recommended as a good source of omega 3 with less mercury risk than many other kinds of fish. I didn’t even know if I liked sardines. They weren’t a thing in my house growing up and I just never considered them for a meal. But I picked up a can to try them out. Ate them today on sourdough avocado toast with diced bell pepper, onions, cucumber and tomatoes. Some blue corn tortilla chips and hummus on the side. Nice meal. I’ll add them to the rotation. Thanks for the tip.

Sardines is definitely a product where higher price can yield better quality. The cheap deenz seem to have a stronger flavor (not always unpleasant) and a mushier texture.

Sardines have no Mercury because they do not eat other fish they only eat vegetable matter like plankton and they're not very big. Some people don't like them and I don't know why, they don't have a fishy smell or a fishy taste I don't think they taste like anything.

Ahhh.... the dollar-can specials from some of the less premium brands definitely can get mushy.
You said Norway, so I'm guessing that's King Oscar. That's a brand that is generally well regarded.
Most of the time, I'm going for a round can of saury from the Pacific that's labelled as "sardines". My tastes are simple enough so I can enjoy them over rice.
