Just tried La Sirena: in Spicy Oil this morning, on crackers w/ some cheddar cheese on the side. I agree with your review that these are worthy of five sardines! The heat was steady, but not overwhelming. This was the first tin I have tried from Thailand, but these would hold their own with some that I like from Portugal or Norway.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was pleasantly surprised. Keep popping those tins!
