Hadn't run into the sardellan, but I'm reasonably sure that Janssen's
Temptation is originally a Swedish dish. While I first discovered it in a
Time-Life book, one of the ones that details various international cuisines,
and later rediscovered it in the NYT Cookbook, I was discussing it with a
Swedish blacksmith (in Sweden) and he assured me that it was a very common
and traditional Swedish dish- rather on the order of meatloaf for Americans.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
