makes a fancy table offering.
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.) Maine sardines
4 tablespoons butter (soft)
1 teaspoon Worcester Sauce
2 teaspoons chili sauce
Drain Maine Sardines. Combine

ment that looks every bit like
a Christmas tree, here’s what you

large skewer the length of the
platter, alternate Spanish olives.

happy holiday!

Then spread the Maine sardine
canapes around the edge of the
platter to make the tree branches,
and fill in with thin lemon

the traditional egg nog, and your
holiday buffet will be complete.
ST. FRANCIS
St. Francis of Assisi is gener
ally credited with popularizing
Christmas carols. 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. Caroling
then became as important to St.
Francis’ Christmas celebration as
Christmas music is to us in these
modern times.
