Her mom is/was Sicilian, which explains the garlic but the sardines & snails may have been an influence from dad who is/was French. 🙂

My father-in-law who recently passed away at 98, would threaten to open a can of sardines, to get his daughter to come cook him something. 🙂

I don't think he really had any sardines in his house. 🤣

My g-grandmother said the thing she missed when she immigrated from Sweden to the Midwest was no more fresh fish.

I do not live near a coast. I do eat sardines sometimes. Lose weight when I do eat them. My parents liked pickled herring, but I could never get into it. Frozen cod and salmon, but that's about it.
