Sardines

Would they be a good idea to add into my salad maybe??. I've tried mackerel tuna and pomegranate seeds so far

Most definitely oily fish is good for you.

Excellent. Guessing pilchards would be just as good . I'm trying to stay away from red meat so found using turkey was also ok.

If you like them, of course. As Pumper Sue has said, oily fish as good for you

What's wrong with red meat?

OH nothing I like it as much as the next person. Just I felt I was eating alot of it both at lunch and tea time.

Sardines are zero carbs apart from ones in tomato sauce and even those are very low carb.

I find sardines on toast a very tasty lunch - I'm glad they are so beneficial as well! 🙂

Why does nutritional information list "cholesterol", when it's as irrelevant as sugars (or worse, added sugars)? it's total carbs that matter, and whether added or not doesn't matter; the only thing which affects the body is that they are there, not how they got there. Body cholesterol comes from carbs, not from diet cholesterol.

I like sardines with a dollop of salad cream 😉

Ewwww!!!! 😱

Salad cream, yuck! I think it's because I associate it with the kind of salads I had as a kid, with other things in it that I also acquired a lifelong dislike for - radishes, celery, beetroot and tiny slugs in the lettuce! 😱

Hmmm I've never tried sardines might have to give them a go, I love mackerel but unfortunately so does the cat 🙄 x

 

[Steff]

LOL Alan I feel the same way I hate salad cream to.
Anyways had a lovely lunch of sardine salad went down a treat.

 

[Kaylz]

@Steff that like was for you enjoying your lunch 🙂 not for the brigade of salad cream haters COME ON SALAD CREAM x

 

[robert@fm]

Salad cream, yuck!

Salad cream is just a non-thixotropic substitute for mayonnaise, so why not just have real mayonnaise and be done with it? Or better still, balsamic dressing, especially on a fish-based salad (in the Recipes section, I linked some time ago to Jamie Oliver's recipe for that, which is easy to make and both cheaper and better quality than any commercial dressing; Tesco's so-called "Finest" balsamic dressing is mostly rapeseed oil, so I hate to think what their "c**pValue" one is like🙄😱).

Trouble is I really like the taste of salad cream with my sardines lol! I like mayo but love sardines with salad cream, one of my taste quirks 🙄
