Neo-Depression Era Foodie

Sardines, really Dan? I was eating one and a spine fell out. All in all, I can eat them. They're not disgusting, but they are no anchovies.

Neo-Depression Era Foodie

I was hungry tonight, as I frequently am, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Solution? Off-brand saltines, tin of anchovies, thing of humus. Total value? $3.30. (I only ate two thirds of one sleeve of saltines and half the thing of humus.)

My review: Good Christ that was salty! Jesus. Salt is less salty. And the f*ck is with all these little ass bones?! Ugh! That being said, I'm reasonably satisfied. It tasted pretty good (I like anchovies and capers, $1.50 a tin) even though the little bones were a real pain. Still though, for $3.30 I could go to Wendy's and get two Jr. Bacon burgers and side of fries and still have $0.30's left over.

If you're a hobo, the upshot of a tin of anchovies is that it lasts. If you're still a home inhabitor (despite the down turn) than you may wish to stick with something else.
