I know KO Tiny Tots have a good rep as far as easily sourced tins go, but the last couple times I've had them I was rather disappointed. They were really, really soft and broke apart and got all mushy (in an unappetizing way) with the slightest agitation from my fork.

Did you cook the sardines in the bacon fat or just use them out of the tin? The recipe talked about getting fresh sardines. Wondered what you did.

Bacon and a Tin on a Big Roll, well played, Sir, very well indeed.

You have raised the bar,

and let it loose in town.
