Sardines and Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast

Yesterday, Macrine and I had Tome' Sardines, scrambled eggs and fried rice for breakfast.  We have not eaten sardines for quite a while, so the taste of sardines followed by Papaya from Mexico (Maradol) was a gastronomic delight.
Mexican Papaya( Maradol) is not as sweet as Philippines Papayas, but it is much cheaper here in Northern California and available all year round.

The breakfast was prepared by Macrine's caretaker- a Filipino-American who also like sardines. The above brand of sardines is in olive oil with pickle flavor and pepper. I purchased it at our local Pinoy grocery store.   I like canned sardines in olive oil and a little bit spicy instead of in tomato sauce or in water.

The name “sardine” refers to more than twenty types of small, oily, saltwater fish in the herring family. They may be eaten fresh or preserved.  Sardines are incredibly nutritious. For just one tin of Atlantic sardines (3.75 ounces, at about 191 calories), you get about 23g of protein, 10.53g of healthy fats (rich in omega-3 fatty acids), as well as vitamin D and tons of vitamin B12, not to mention a long list of other vitamins and minerals. Moreover, sardines are relatively low in contaminants such as mercury. For canned sardines, look for those packed in water or olive oil. For more details read:
