Sailing away on hopes and dreams
But all's not as calm as it seems
A monster makes noise 'neath my bed
Reluctantly I shuffle so out pops my head
It chews on my bottle and on powercords
This cat I will yeet, I swear to fUCKING god.

Was at the Fancy Shop yesterday while waiting for traffic to die down and got these to try out thanks to @Force_majeure122's tinned seafood propaganda posts.

Anyone had these before? Recommendations on what to eat them with?

I'll try them out later this week and report back.

seafüdA tin of Officer brand smoked cod liver from Iceland and a tin of Rügenfisch herring in tomato sauce from Germany

I had a tomato one flavoured herring from Aldi last week and I put it in a sandwich and ate it together that way.

It is propaganda for the benefit of y'all!! I'm glad it's paying off. It started with microwaved potatoes and now we're onto tinned fish. What's next?
I haven't tried the cod liver so I'll defer to Thornburywitch. For the herring, however you want, also as per Thornburywitch! I normally just eat them out of the can, but yeh with crackers, over rice, in a pasta. Whatever you want. I just insist you give them a taste by themselves first though

Got slugged for a $7.90 EastLink toll this afternoon because, unlike my journey to the destination, I forgot to specify 'no tolls' on Google maps on the journey home. Lesson learned. Got me thinking about getting a tag thingy though.

I've got a tag but I still check the tolls/no tolls prices/times. Sometimes it's worth the fee to save the time, often I'm driving home late at night and it's like 5 minutes difference for $12.
