The ABC of Canapes, 1953

"Every experienced hostess knows that anything can be a canape', and many a fine new combination has been the product of desperation. One of my own most successful creations was the result of unexpected guests, when in the face of an empty larder I fried up some mushrooms and onions and heaped them on hot toast. Try them sometime!..."

-- from Edna Beilenson's intro

Other recipes include: Anchovy Puffs, Anchovy Teasers, Anchovy Spread, American Cheese and Anchovies. Apparently it was the thing back then to down anchovies like they were handfuls of popcorn.
