A kind reader with great research skills left a comment on this post with a link to the pamphlet Maine Sardine Recipes. The pamphlet led me in turn to the website of the Penobscot Maritime Museum and a page about its Maine Sardine Council collection. The sardine industry is long gone from Maine, which once billed itself as “Vacationland & Sardineland,” as that page will attest.

ReplyDeleteSame, though red pepper flakes and balsamic vinegar brighten things up. The recipes in this pamphlet remind me of the improbable recipes in old Life magazine advertisements.
ReplyDeleteI'm a straight donate to someone who will eat them person. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they ever turn up in food banks. Great nutrition, and they can be eaten safely long past the expiration date.
