I grew up making fun of my dad for always packing fishy smelly things in his work lunch like tuna, sardines, deviled ham, etc. But last time I was at the local Aldi, I took a gamble on some cheaply priced canned fish items. Lo and behold... the 'dines (pronounced "deens") were goddamn delicious. I used a video aid (pictured) to make sure I was doing it correctly. I also tried some canned smoked oysters, which were equally great. I feel this kind of character development is so very important for people of all ages. If you're looking to get into the greater canned fish fandom, I highly recommend "Canned Fish Files w/ Matthew Carlson" on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@cannedfishfiles

I spent most of my life thinking they were cat food at best. But I visited Clydes one day for bivalves and martinis and tried their new conservas menu. Now I am watching tinned fish reviews and eating all kinds of sardines.

After not shutting up about my fascination with tin fish, my coworker bought me a little can of sardines. All I’m gonna say is it was 10 times better than the can of sardines I bought at the market that was $.99 which I believe was from Chicken of the Sea. As someone with limited knowledge of what a good tin fish is, I’m gonna try to describe this as best as possible. The Moroccan Spice Sardines were really juicy and surprisingly meaty if that makes any sense. They’re not as spicy as I thought they were gonna be, but I will say the spice kinda snuck up on you in the back of your throat, but it wasn’t unpleasant it was a very nice sardine. I will say I had a gherkin. I have no clue what the hell a gherkin is or what it’s supposed to taste like I will say it tasted just like the oil so that was interesting. Would say hands down that was probably the best entry-level sardine experience. I will say we did pair it with a sourdough toast with a little bit of cream cheese and lemon juice that was amazing.

"Tin to Table" by Anna Hezel made me rethink how I use tinned fish/seafood.
i had a lot of reservations about tinned fish because i thought i was limited to just eating the fish straight out of the can... but taking the food and cooking it with other ingredients has got me really excited about eating seafood and it makes it really easy to incorporate into my homemade recipes! last week Vatsal and I made the most delicious pasta with some tinned clams and i have thought about it nearly every day since.

Saw this on an insta ad. The app is a lil buggy and slow but I'm sure it will improve. The big thing going for this platform is obv the sincerity & simplicity, no advertising or clout chasing weirdos here (yet?), no people trying to steal your attention by gaming an algorithm
Sometimes I see pics of people tryna look hot on insta with dumb captions underneath... this person I know went on vacation, pic of beach, move on. I might heart the post cause they're my friend and I'm socially obligated, but I don't actually like it and would really rather not feed their ego cause I know they don't deserve it
This place, for now, is maybe more real and interesting. Just people writing weird shit from off the dome, maybe for themselves, maybe in hopes others will see. Keep in mind I came to this conclusion after scrolling some posts for no more than 2 mins
When bereal started it was kinda casual and simple in its approach like this, but was unfortunately too interested in growing and added a bunch of unnecessary features just to become like all the apps before it. But this place is still in its infancy and it's already all that it needs to be. I just don't know if it will stay because although people say they like sincerity, they (including me) will still find ways to optimize and control their public image over time, will show less and less of their real character
Thank you for creating this app, excited to see the social experiement unfold. Idk if I'll be posting on here that much. Cute retro UI. I like

After sustained isolation and loneliness, spending time with other people can be a much-needed grounding, humbling experience
Invite people over! Hop on the train / in the car to visit a friend! Go to new places and meet new people. Start a movie club, meet up at a café, embark on an open-ended collaborative creative endeavor. Give yourself many excuses to get out of your apartment, and do whatever you've gotta do to put yourself in the presence of other human beings. It's good for regulating your emotional state and ego. It fills a certain part of you that may be empty without you even knowing it
This is especially true for spending time with people who are *different* from you: people who have different talents, people who do crazy drugs you'd never do, people who spend their time in different places than you, even people you might kind of hate! The contrast can be stressful but that's just because you're using more brain power to place yourself in relation to these other people in the moment. But the long-term payoff will make you feel whole, and the world will start making a bit more sense. And once all is said and done, the feeling of returning to your apartment, or of cleaning up and lighting a candle after you've had visitors of your own, will have made it worth all the while
