Lidl's NIXE Sardines

Anyone else buying these who could give their opinion. We live in a Orkney
and have no Lidl shop as yet so buy a couple of packs at a time as they are
a substantial part of my diet. The first 2 packs were packs of 40 and
excellent. Just got 2 more packs and they are packed in 50's which is fine.
Upon starting them I have found them very salty and find them bordering on
being unpalatable but this may be down to my having cut down on salt this
last couple of years.

It's 99% certain that you now have a low tolerance to salt.
I removed as much salt as possible from my diet a year ago, now I can't
tolerate the salt in butter, processed meat, take away food, restaurant
food, even some frozen fish... Not that I eat the aforementioned often,
only when visiting or dining out !
I have a diet of fresh veg/fruit and fish/chicken and we use no salt at all
in preparation. Anything with a salt or sodium content above 0.5mgc/100mcg
I can taste as unpalatable...

Try Netto Sardines. My cats love them (will not touch Aldi ones and are
so-so on the Lidl ones).

We tried some of the yellow can Lidl Nixe ones a while back and they were
vile. The more expensive packed in olive oil sardine fillets are delicious
though IMHO.

Oh agreed as well, I like to use a tin to make a packet of their 15p noodles
into something more substantial, spicy prawn flavour are favourite at the
mo.

It'll be 'cos you are no longer used to the taste of salt. I assume
the ones you buy are in brine?

I buy the ones in tomatoe sauce. It was a sudden change in taste from the
end of the first pack of 40 and the first from the 2nd pack which was a pack
of 50. Only cost 23p a tin so not a waste as others on the island like salty
food. I had to stop eating vegemite because it started to taste salty but
that was a gradual change as I became used to less salt. I now use freshly
ground black pepper, root ginger and dried or fress hot chillies to spice up
my food. Looking to see what I can mix the sardines with to thin out the
salt conent per meal. - Mick
