In the kitchen
Sardines three ways

Note from Fred & Tess:
Mum gets a fruit and veg box from a local food co-op and they put little extras in, and one time we got sardines.  Mum thanked them for the tins of sardines as we love them and they are good for my arthuritis.   The lady then gave Mum their excess supply as no one really likes them.   
Dad challenged us to come up with a recipe using at least one of the hundred (not exaggerating!) tins of sardines. 
Challenge accepted and won paws down, easy peasy sardine squeezy!   BOL!
