Isn't that in breach of your contract with the Pilchard Marketing Board?

For pilchard pasta - cook the pasta as normal. While it's drained tip a tin or two of pilchards in tomato sauce into the pan, mash them up and add a bit of olive oil, along with whatever herbs/spices you want, and tip the pasta back in and give everything a good stir.
Nutritious and cheap.

Sounds like you can pilchardify pretty much anything.
Pilchard pie (instead of apples use tinned pilchards) and custard.
Pilchard pizza (instead of tomato sauce use mashed tinned pilchards)
Pilchard risotto (mash up tinned pilchards in some medium grain rice)
etc etc

Another holiday story.
Me and another partner went to Portugal on Holiday out of season and after a lot of walking settled on a very remote restaurant that had no customers but looked pretty decent.
After trying to order virtually everything off the menu which had "just sold out" we ended up ordering just about the only thing he did have on the menu. Locally caught Sardines or pilchards ( can't remember which) and they were much nicer than the tinned crap that ends up on the supermarket shelves

We had a book called Make a Meal of Cheese. Dad would use it but add pilchards. Make a meal of cheese but add pilchards. His Pilchard Surprise was the potato galette recipe from the book, with pilchards in it.

Poll is missing the obligatory third humorous/other option.
You can't joke about pilchards.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
My dad has a store of canned pilchards and sardines (aren't they the same thing?) - genuinely 90-odd cans of the things at last count. He eats them regularly, and replenishes his stash/bunker, but only when the old dear is out. She fucking hates them...

Sounds like we have a lot in common. My parents were the same. When we all left home they split up. Not primarily over pilchards. Dad had an affair.

This is my only pilchard recipe! Though I'd add veg/sweetcorn/peppers/whatever as well. Lidl do sardines in a spicy tomato sauce if you fancy something a bit different
kebabking think so, they are according to wiki
Well you're in the right place to expand your pilchard repertoire.

Curry in the 70s always had fruit in it. Even tinned mandarins. Fruit salad with curry powder, basically. Dad once made pilchard and banana curry. Once. Even for him that was a step too far. It was rank.

Another thing I miss living here is the range of very fresh fish that was so readily available everywhere.
The seas around the UK have some beautiful fish in them. Why on earth don't we eat more?

Oh god I know, raisins and curry powder in some gravy with unidentifiable meat served on mushy overcooked long grain rice.

I don't know why we don't eat more, personally we eat loads and we have some good fishmongers and Billingsgate fish market is just down the road.
Much of it is not sustainable though, overfishing and polluted rivers and oceans does not make for a good fish diet.
