Anchovy Rolls and Twists - 1960's

I don't personally like Anchovy but here is a lovely little recipe for sixties party food.

Pastry (ready rolled)
1 can of flat fillets of anchovy

1. Roll out pastry into an oblong third of an inch (just over 1 cm thick)
2. Cut into two pieces 3 inches wide.
3. Lay strips of anchovy fillet at intervals across one of the 3 inch pieces of pastry, cut between and roll pastry over in quarter inch wide strips and twist the two ends together with a strip of anchovy between.
4. Place on greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown in a hot oven.

The quantity is a tad large.  I did some research, mostly Google based, and the recipe calls for 1 'bushel' of tomatoes.  According to common law, that equates to 53 lbs which is by anyone's standards quite a bit.  So this recipe is quite ready for a little bit of adjustment. What do you need then? 1 bushel of tomatos, washed and clean. Salt to taste, 2...
