Maybe sardines age like fine wine… you never know until you try!

You mean you can sit on cans that long? I devour them instantly if I know they are around!

Ha. Cool. You could also do it the other way around. Save a can each year to have them all in 2030 side by side.

I don’t understand the experiment. Are you planning to open cans you bought today at different years in future? “Ah this one tasted differently than the can I tasted 2 years ago”?
Shouldn’t it be a vintage the other way? Buy a can per year, and then on year 5 open all 5?

Ok. So in one year you’ll need to buy 5 cans, in two years four cans and so on. Then after five years you’ll have a complete vertical tasting every year. Essentially able to view and compare cans: fresh, one year old, two year old and so on. Good luck soldier.

While this seems to make sense at first – it actually does not. There are too many variables that there is no way to control: precise catch zone, type of food fish were feeding on, water temperature, variations in season and/or if freezing techniques were used (not saying the later is the case with KO) seasoning/salt levels used and variations that exist in a batch even in the same year.
The taste may vary but it also varies for all other reasons too.
