today my son informed me that he heard on the news a while back that the last sardine factory in USA is closingsad I do love sardines. we were discussing about when i was a kid. i told him they used to have packets of dried herring that i loved but everyone made fun of me cause they stunkrofl but they were really good. it seems sardines also are sometimes from herring. these are rich in omega-3,vitamin D,B 12, etc. the last factory in maine is shutting down. over 130 people out of work. its been open since 1875. sorry
this is the link, NOT A REFRRAL, to do with the discussion.

I think sardines are disgusting but I know some people who love them.

This is happening more and more, plants and businesses closing down so that we have to get stuff from other countries. It's another plank in our economic coffin. Maybe some entrepreneur will come along and open one if he can find affordable product and labor--but unless we start giving businesses tax cuts instead of taxing them out of business that won't happen.

sad i was just talking with my son about that also and he explained a bunch of things to me that i told him to write down sos i can discuss it here as i cant put it into the right words but he said something about not to worry as Rome also had this situation and it worked ok for them. something like thatrofl look for me to start another discussion on economy of US...lol.

I'm not overly fond of sardines but occasionally I get the urge to eat some. I have to have the ones packed in mustard and eat them on crackers. It's the only way I'll eat them.

I am sad to hear that this company is closing down after being in business for so long. Another American company bites the dust. I just heard recently that a local Virginia company (local to me, I live in Virginia) is folding up and moving overseas. That makes 150 more people out of work.

sorry its just so sad for people that have no work and the poor here. thats how i like my sardines also and ever since we spoke about it ive had a craving for them nowrofl

I have never had sardines. Or anchovies. Those two things stick out in my mind.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

shocked is it because of how they look? hhhmmm. usually a person will either like them or dont want to try them because of the looks. not sure tho ive ever spoken with someone thats never eaten them.rolleyes


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20757)  2 years ago

I've never even seen them. None of my family have ever eaten them either. None of their family ever ate them, so I guess as a by product, they never have either. Of course, they have seen them before. But I just don't think I've ever been around a place that had them or was serving them. I've seen them in cans in the grocery store, but have not actually seen what they look like. I just saw the cans that contained them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

shocked wow. never even curious i guess. did you look at the pic of them? lol ok. hugs


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20757)  2 years ago

I know what they look like. I mean I've seen them on TV. When I saw I've never even seen them, I mean I've never seen them in person. I've never been somewhere where they were being served, or kept, or anything.

I am not overly fond of sardines, but what will be the next thing to leave the States? I wonder if as in it seems in Arizona, all politicians will be out-sourced!


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

rofl not sure what you mean about out sourced? whommmm?


myLot reputation of 99/100. richnai (5180)  2 years ago

lolI don't know too much of political "goings on" but I have been reading bits and pieces about Mexican officials are having quite a bit of influence on Arizona politics! Not dissing Arizona, I went to ASU for a semester.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

shocked i dont think so. they claim to be trying to help with the illegal alien problem, but i dont think our officials actually believe thatlol

hi bunnybon yuck now we will stand a chance of eating other nations poorly superved canned sardines and getting ill from them. I love
sardines and I am really sad. so much has changed just in the last few years, maybe even months. used to be there were a huge su pply of sardines in any grocery store.Laying off people, closing plants, and they keep trying to tell me that the recession is almost over. give my son a job and then I might listen.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

cry sadly its looking more and more like our poor kids are never getting another break here. and then they wonder why (the law makers, etc.) we dont want immegrants here takeing the few jobs there areangry

HEY BON, I do like sardines but haven't had any in a long time. Seems as if everything is closing nowadays. I don't guess the sardines are in much of a demand. happy weekend to u.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

shocked thats what surprises me in a way. because they are cheap. maybe kids dont like them any more or people are to hung up on mcdonalds i thinksad


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 1,312 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

I doubt either one of my boys have ever tried them or would. They are definitely hookrd on mcdonalds tho & so is my grandson. That's because basically all he's ever had most of his life is junk food. His mother doesn't cook much & i don't think it's good for them plus it's expensive to eat out all the time.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

suspicious so true. i think thats what keeps my youngest so poor all the time. they feed the kids mcdonalds when they get a little extra money instead of cooking.doh

OMG! You like sardines? OMG! I remember when I used to share a can with my ex. That and crackers. OMG! Oily, salty, rich flavored. Ghee! I'm so sorry to hear the last factory is closing. Ghee, what a shame. Am I being sarcastic enough here?! Will you have to pay out the patoostie now for them to be shipped in?


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

rofl guess that is a bit strange for a discussion but at least its different dont you thinksilly share a can? i eat a can by myself. guess im a bit of a pigrasp oink, hey at least they arent fattening either. only the crackers etc. you eat with them. or like when we have ice cream with them!! yeah, thats it. its the ice cream. do they still make it here?


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15731)   ranked 1,145 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

Yep! I think it is a first on here. Ice cream is made here. Oh ya! Sardines I wouldn't know. Probably. Silver fish too. Hehehe

I'm from Portugal and a lot of sardine factories closed here in the past years. Our atlantic coast has some of the best sardines in the world. I collect paper labels from old sardine cans and make framed pictures out of them. These labels are very nostalgic and have nice artwork. Lets hope sardines stay around for a long time, as long as we don't eat them all.
Regards.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

cry oh no. and i figured we could always get plenty from there. silly i know most of them were already coming from there to here. also that yummy smoked oystersdrool are those in the same plant? they do have some great artwork in sea type posters and ads.

that's not good news especially for those workers who are now out of work. i guess it's cheaper to import them than run those factories. true, the imported ones may not have the same quality control as those produced there. you just have to choose the brands that you buy.

i have sardines occasionally. just last week i put them on a tortilla with other toppings and i had a quick thin crust pizza. yum . . .


myLot reputation of 99/100. bunnybon7 (7725)   ranked 7 out of 8,776 in health  2 years ago

drool yummy. that sounds good and would probably work better then anchovies as anchovies are way to salty and fishy tasting. silly
