Edit History

One of the things I love eating in Portugal is grilled sardines, but they seem to be out of season.

I took a day trip to Portamao. The main museum is the converted La Rose sardine canning factory.

The tins were stamped and shaped from the sheet metal right on site.

,

Very interesting museum, great walking through the factory and touching the actual machines.

Sardines seemed to have been much plumper in those days.

Anyway, I picked up a couple a few La Rose tins from the local supermarket.

The wife says I eat a can in a day, so it will only take me a couple of weeks to get through this lot!
