What is wrong with eating Anchovies?

[lxskllr]

I think the anchovies would have been better on their own, or maybe with onion and olive. The other stuff's kind of a distraction, and raises the price.

I like lots of toppings, and besides they keep the anchovies from overpowering the pizza. It's not like I get this every week.

that's a weird claim these days, but I guess it makes sense...ocean is actually in the name.

I've never known a fancy, local, Tuscan marinara to contain anything but tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, and some other bits, but that is definitely a Tuscan thing (there are other anchovie-based sauces and dishes, but it is not what you would get in that region when ordering a marinara). I would bet that Northern, Southern, and certainly south-central (Rome) parts of Italy would have a marinara that contains a fish base. ....I just know it as a different type of dish.

Yes, there is a Tuscan sauce similar to the Neopolitan and Sicilian that contains anchovies or other fish, I think it may be called sugo finto .

So no one else is going to inform me that I put to many toppings on my pizza? Or the pizza is the best with only a few toppings?

Well I've been told before that I put to many toppings on pizza.

I would like onions and mushrooms to go with that much meat at least.

Got a can of anchovy stuffed olives today. Saw them at biglots, and thought I'd try them. Probably won't have the chance til tomorrow though.

Please, oh please, let us know if they are any good. What brand are they? Too bad there isn't a Big Lots in my area anymore.

They're Loreto brand, packed in a slender can, from Spain. Not a lot of info online. I've had some of their other styles. Not the best, but they were alright. I'll report back once I've tried them. Never had anchovy stuffed before.

So I thinking of using anchovies for enchaining the dishes I cook, so I'm wondering which ones they will work fine in, and those I should avoid using the fish?

THEY SMELL LIKE SATANS BUTTHOLE!

THEY SMELL LIKE SATANS BUTTHOLE!

I didn't notice any sulfur odors when I got my pizza. So I disagree.

Well guys, now I will tell you how to eat anchovies in Russia. We have little common European pickled anchovies in banks, because they are expensive. But we have a hamsa - this is anchovy from the Black and Azov seas, quite cheap.

They are usually salted in brine. Then it goes well with simple boiled potatoes. And vodka. Do not even try, you do not understand this taste. The second option is dried salted anchovy. They are decapitated, but the tails remain and inside remain the insides — milk, caviar, liver — all this is dried and of microscopic size. You can eat dried anchovies entirely, or you can chop it with your fingers and take out the ridge and entrails.

You take a small piece in your mouth, chill, enjoy the taste. The taste is really strong and specific. It does not taste like fish, it is different. Drink beer.
Salty dried anchovy is one of the best beer snacks. As well as hard, slightly sour cheese. And roasted salted pistachios. And sunflower seeds.
