I don't get it! Anchovy stuffed green olives are great (except we have to get them from Salt Lake City these days). The little IGA mom/pop store had them, but Wally World ran them out of business years ago, and Smiths has never carried them. When I was in Kyiv years ago, there was a HUGE grocery Store downtown, that had an entire aisle (several hundred feet long) with nothing but various olives. By far the best grocery store I was ever in (although the meat section was a little lacking, the fish, cheese, and salami selections were out of this world). Oh yeah, the BEER selection was fantastic too!?ÿ ?ÿ?ÿ

Berrien Springs, MIchigan, population 1800, is home to Andrews University which has over 1500 students.?ÿ The University is supported by the Seventh Day Adventist Church.?ÿ When I lived in the same county, Sunday afternoons might find us there shopping at the huge supermarket.?ÿ No meat, of course.?ÿ All sorts of plant-based foods I did not know even existed.?ÿ I remember asking my wife, "What the heck is that gigantic, brownish-black, banana-looking thing supposed to be??ÿ Do you eat it or keep it by the bed to bash in the heads of intruders in the night?"?ÿ A plantain.?ÿ They had a wide variety of alfalfa sprout products that were all new to me.
BTW, I do not eat anchovies or olives.?ÿ Weird, I know.
Kalamata olives are great. Skip the anchovies.
WOW!?ÿ La Espanola Green Olives Stuffed with Anchovies! I dropped by the saloon this afternoon, and one of my buddies gave me a can of these babies. DAMN they are good, if I eat any more of them, I won't have room for dinner!
Green olives stuffed with jalapenos and garlic. They are great!
Now, where's the anchovies. I'll have to try them too.

My favorite pasta dish is noodles with anchovies and a little bit of basil pesto with a grated Parmesan sprinkle.?ÿ
Anchovies are good for you!?ÿ ;)?ÿ
My only experience with anchovies was in college. A bunch of us ordered about three pepperoni, sausage, etc. pizzas. Somehow the order got mixed up and one of them turned out to be anchovy. None of these hungry college kids could eat it.
@bill93 I have a buddy who closed there was no pizza he couldn't eat. We had anchovy pizza delivered to his house. Next week he announced, "I found one pizza that is uneatable!" You guessed it the Anchovy Pizza.

As a kid I worked for a while at a pizza joint making pizzas.?ÿ Anchovies have a very polarizing flavor.?ÿ Like, say for instance, cilantro, people either love the flavor or hate it.?ÿ And just like cilantro, a little bit goes a long way.?ÿ The biggest mistake made by most people preparing pizza with anchovies is putting too many anchovies on the pie.?ÿ Anchovies can smother all the other flavors, even garlic.
Nobody wants to eat a pizza that tastes like the salty bilge in a shrimp boat..
Anchovies are required in Puttanesca.
Enough said.
Also an important ingredient in Worcestershire sauce (among other sauces)
I never would have guessed you had worked with Forrest and Capt Dan...

I occasionally have the desire to eat anchovy wrapped capers, but not a whole pizza full.
And I am one of the genetic "Cilantro tastes like soap" people who was able to reprogram my brain to where I love it now
Amazing how you can train your brain.

Thai fish sauce.
Alone is pretty disgusting.
Essential in the entire pallette of their food culture. And love it there.
...... grilled anchovies are simply amazing.?ÿ As are sardines and Branzzino too. But I digress.
Wonder how anchovy stuffed olives would work in a martini.?ÿ
I'm taken back a bit by seeing Dagwood working at a computer. Last time I read the Blondie comic strip, he was working with paper and pen.
Sorry, I meant "working".
I'd rather take a poke in the eye with a sharp stick than to taste an anchovy on a pizza.?ÿ They work well as an ingredient in sauces as previously mentioned (worchestershire sauce or soy sauce), but my pallet (or brain) just can't stand them on pizza or a bagel.?ÿ I guess I look at them a salty minnows now.

I got a poke in the eye about 8 yrs ago. Wound up at the eye doctor. He put some drops in my eye, and pulled a stick out of my eye. It was not big. But, it was lodged in the white of my eye.
Pass the smoked anchovies would you??ÿ
N
Anchovies on their own. No.?ÿ
Anchovies in a dish that adds that salty umami taste that you don't quite know what it is, but?ÿ d**m it's good. Yes
