So what! My old man had a shot and a beer with his coffee in the morning. He also peeled an onion and ate it like an apple and would dump a whole can of sardines on top of his spaghetti. Pops had a cast iron stomach!

Actually the apple, onion and sardines sounds like a healthy meal

sardines and onions are good for you.

2 orders of fried shrimp depending on the order side is a bit much....to much fried.

we would put aleege(sp?)(anchovies) on pizza and antipast....

on Christmas eve my mother had to fry up a Capitone (Eel) for my Grandpa...she hated to as the pieces would move around in the pan.

Dad had a friend that drank at least a case a day every day for his adult life. He went to the hospital for something minor and died under anesthesia. His heart failed.

That's actually a pretty healthy practice. Especially if the sardines are packed in olive oil. I dump a tin of King Oscar sardines (packed in olive oil) into my salads all the time for lunch. In lieu of dressing, which is really the one ingredient that can turn a salad into a poor food choice.
