International Lunch




I ripped the top off a can of sardines and made a sandwich for lunch today. I guess the humble sardine, once popular in the working man's lunch box, has been eclipsed by drive through fast food. For years herring provided an inexpensive, healthy sandwich for lunch, but I think it has largely fallen out of favor lately. The fine print on the can says" Brunswick Sardines in Mustard Sauce. Distributed by Connors Brunswick LLC, So Portland, ME; Product of Canada." I buy Maine sardines when I can, but sometimes I can't find them in the grocery store and fall back on other brands. I'll admit I can't tell a Canadian sardine from a Beach Cliff once the top's off the can.
