I never knew my grandad on my dads side (Italian), he died in WWII fighting in the Italian Resistance. My grandmothers cookbook was given to my wife many years ago as she is a Chef and judging by all the dog eared pages I think he had a lot of favourite meals.

Haven't had kippers for ages , dad loved them , and he loved fried mullet and fried mullet roe ..... he always insisted on having mum buy tinned sardines too (the real stiff in oil), I love norwegian sardines in oil on toast (lashings of salt and vinegar mixed through prior to laying the broken up meat on the toast) , nice tasty snack late at night , very healthy - loaded with Omega 3 and calcium and other good things.
Another favourite of his was dried dates and dried prunes - I love them and sultana too....
Don't often see kippers in Coles or Woolies when I'm there.
