Sardines, anyone?


No, no, no. It's not just a game you play. Sardines are real. They have scales! They have spines! They are packed into a can as tightly as can be. They do STINK!!! And they were eaten to pass off this part of my list.


A good to-do-list-passer-offer knows to ALWAYS to her research before ingesting anything. I am a good to-do-list-passer-offer! I read online how to eat them. I watched a youtube video about a guy who eats his with olive oil, kosher salt (make sure it's kosher!) and garlic powder. I read testimonials on people who LOVE to eat sardines (great source of omega fatty acids!) It was all very informative.

So we opened the can and the smell started percolating through our apartment. My roommates started gagging. Man! I started gagging!! But no, it had begun- it must be completed.


The above picture is the second attempt to eat it. After chomping down and swallowing, I realized

"HEY! THIS JUST TASTES LIKE FISH!!!!"

Can you believe it?!?! That's all it tasted like!! I even had a second cracker! I think the part that made me gag the most was that the spine fell out of the fish when I was first putting it in the bowl. LIKE, THE WHOLE STRING OF VERTEBRAE JUST FELL OUT OF THE FISH! I wanted to vomit. So I took a picture so all of you could enjoy the sight too! :)


Then we promptly threw the rest away in the outside dumpster, put on some "holiday essence" potpourri on the stove, cleaned our whole apartment, and it was ALL better!
