Would you order tinned sardines at a restaurant?
I was watching a show last night and there was a chef on who said her menu is just all her favourite meals. Nothing pretentious, she just wants to cook what she likes to eat. Fair enough.
One of her favourite dishes is tinned sardines as it reminds her of when she was a student. So on her menu there is a dish of tinned sardines (served in the tin), with some biscuits/crackers and a dollop of mustard. How much would you pay for tinned sardines at a restaurant? She charges $5 for it! If it's not pretentious then it's definitely taking the piss |

Isn't tinned food highly prized in Spain amongst others? This is presumably a bit different but in Barcelona certainly you can pay a fortune for tinned food.

Is it? My in-laws live near Barcelona and we visit twice a year. I can't say I've looked closely at the prices of tinned food, but certainly the Catalonian supermarkets have plenty of tinned food on the shelves. Why would tinned food be prized? Canning isn't an expensive or complicated process.

Interesting article, thanks! Not all their tinned goods are of the gourmet variety though. You also get the bog-standard fare. |

Yeah, a bit. Tinned squid? I'm not sure...
And tinned mussels, smoked oysters, clams. There seems to be a lot of tapas/meze style food about too like artichokes, giant beans, stuffed peppers, stuffed olives and vine leaves. |

I buy Ortiz tinned tuna and it makes John West taste like cat food in comparison. .
![]() Might try this Ortiz brand and leave the John West for the cat - she enjoys it anyway
