Anchovies

[j44ke]

There are some foods that you enjoy more when you are older. As in grown up. Anchovies are one of those things. This is a video from Elizabeth Minchilli's website on anchovies, and it made me hungry.

Love me some anchovies. Always have, though. I'm weird like that.

Yvonne and Garrett are not so sure.

My anchovy experience...

As a child...hairy, dark, smelly, salty, mushy looking things in it's "one of a kind can," had a taste of it on a pizza totally awful to me, still make a funny face just thinking about it.

But then...

As an adult...my one visit to Europe had me in Spain more than 25 years ago...the anchovies I ate there were totally different and totally delicious from what I recall...but have never had the opportunity to eat them again...

Those in the video look yummy...not sure about the job of "anchovy processor," though. I wonder how well paid those "talented" women are?

Anchovies are like many things I love now but would not eat in my youth, just like oysters.

That's a good question.

Similar to mackerel, anchovies out of a can are good but not the same. I hated both until a friend introduced me to fresh ones.

Hmm. That's also how I felt about beer.... hated it until I had some Trappist stuff and then suddenly the world opened up for me.
