Special Treat Canape Spread Features Sardines Looking for something scrump tious to serve with the egg nog during the busy holiday season— something that’ll help you out in, and out of, the kitchen? There’s a little silvery fish swimming in the sea off the coast of Maine who can add much to your Christmas festivities. He’s really a little herring but is known as a Maine Sardine. Maine sardines were a familiar food to the American sea-coast Indian before the first colonial settlers came to this country. They used rough weirs made of brushwood and twine to trap the tiny young herring — one of the same techniques which is used today. The Indians ate the herr ing as fresh fish, but they prob ably also smoked or salted them for their winter food. MAINE CANAPE SPREAD 2 cans (4 oz. ea.)

St. Francis is responsible for staging the first manger scene with real people and animals. Legend has it that the onlookers were so delighted with the pageant that they burst into spontaneous song.
