Anchovies?

[texas1928]

Like them or hate them?

I can not stand them.

[enigmatic]

1. Anchovies and Malt Liquor are the staff of life, my friend...n/m

[texas1928]

2. BLEEEEEEEEECH!!!!

:puke:

[Endangered Specie]

3. Most. Disgusting. Food. Ever.

[Spiffarino]

4. Anchovies cannot be fish

They are all the stuff that is bad about fish condensed into something that looks like a fish.

[Webster Green]

5. Love 'em.....

Essential for pizza and Caesar salad.

[texas1928]

6. NO NO NO NO NO

Pizza? that is just as bad as mushrooms on pizza.

[IronLionZion]

37. mushrooms kick ass

I like to load up my pizza with just about anything that is not pepperoni or sausage

[texas1928]

39. Bleech

Mushrooms are vile.

[galadrium]

7. I love 'em

[the Kelly Gang]

8. don't do it..they're yuky

[MercutioATC]

9. Little dead fish

Ugh.

[rucky]

10. I voted for anchovies in the last election.

then I found out they were GOP shills.

never again.

[HuckleB]

11. Friggin' AWESOME!

Big uns on bread or pizza or by themselves or in paella! Mmmmmmm.

And then there's bagna calda...

:)

[Obamarama]

34. Bagna calda is AWESOME.....

Do you put cream in yours or do you just do the olive oil, garlic and anchovies?

[HuckleB]

41. No cream.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. They are essential for many classic dishes.

If you don't like ancovy fillets (took me a while to appreciate them), try anchovy paste. All that great flavor (plus, you can use a very little bit, and gradually increase the amount as you develop a taste for it) but none of those little hairlike bones.

[BiggJawn]

13. Those are bones?

I thought they were salt crystals.

Can't make a Caesar salad or Worchestershire sauce without them. and back when I drank, they went well with smoked petite oysters and beer.Especially the ones rolled around capers...

[texas1928]

18. OK that is just nasty

I can not stand either one capers and anchovies together. BLEEEEECH

[BiggJawn]

30. No, it's heaven, just like canned Unagi...

Which is Eel, braised in a savory sauce. Usually served as Sushi, but good by itself, too.

[texas1928]

35. Nope

Sushi, who wants to eat bait. YUCK

[MrsMatt]

14. Adore them

Heat some olive oil and saute the fillets with minced garlic and capers. Toss with hot cooked pasta.

My seven year old LOVES that dish.

[sushi]

46. Yes, very simple and delicious

and made in no time. All the ingredients are in your pantry. For color and to add to the taste throw in chopped parsley and chilli.

[Gildor Inglorion]

15. Yum! Loved them the first time I ever tasted them...

at about age 7. Still do. Also sardines. :9

[texas1928]

19. When I was growing up

There was a kid who would bring a bag of crackers and a tin of sardines to school for breakfast. He drank grape juice with it. It was hard listening to him eat that every morning. That crunching and squishing sound he made. Makes me gag even now. :puke:

[sundog]

16. nasty nasty nasty

:puke:

[GalleryGod]

17. Love 'Em! Bring 'Em On!

:smoke:

[Deja Q]

20. Dr. Zoidburg can eat my share, thanks anyway.

:D

Anchovies... :puke:

Here's the funny part: I've never eaten them... :crazy:


(edit: Grammar... oops.)

[VoteDemocratic2004]

21. My old boyfriend

He would eat them on pizzas :puke: :puke: :puke:

That's a triple puke!

[havocmom]

22. It's just not Ceasar salad without them

mmmmmmmmmm, made with fresh romaine out of the garden....

[texas1928]

23. I won't eat ceasar salad because of it.

Can not stand the flavor.

[tXr]

24. love 'em

great on pizza

[politicat]

25. Like the paste.

Thought I didn't like them, but then I tried them...

They have such an intense flavor!!

As long as I disguise the tube of paste, and never tell anyone what's in that divine sauce, everyone I know loves my anchovy and black olive tapanade. Mr. Pcat will eat my version of vodka sauce and puttanesca as long as he doesn't know there's anchovy paste in them.

Bagna Caulda (but for the fat content....) ceasar salad, on and on and on.... And the cats stand around and beg to lick the measuring spoon.... and my cats have very, very good taste and a refined palate.

But I don't like the bones.

Pcat

[sleepyhead]

26. Yummy anchovies

On pizza or in puttanesca sauce (don't tell Mr. Sleepyhead - we just had some tonight!) The best thing about getting them on pizza is that nobody will steal my slice!

[Sabriel]

27. You can't make anchovy sauce for rack of lamb without them

Not to mention Caesar salad or puttanesca. Damn! Now I'm starving, and I don't have a single can of anchovies in the place.

[samplegirl]

28. Centipedes

Hairly little bugs........i'll pass

[texas1928]

29. UH

stops and stares again, keeps walking, stops and stares again, shakes head.

What do bugs have to do with anchovies?

[samplegirl]

38. They look like hairy cetipedes

they just remind me of bugs

[politicat]

40. SG, they're fish...

Anchovy:


Centipede:

I don't think they look much alike....:wink:

Pcat

[samplegirl]

47. WHATEVER......they still look like centipedes to me

smelts at least look like fish........fryed goldfish!!!!
anchovies.....look like dead bugs on a pizza

[Droopy]

31. None for me thanks

I used to work at Pizza Hut and every once in a while we'd get a call for anchovies on a pizza. So I decided to try them out one time and see what they were like. Yuck! I don't know how they ever got to be a pizza topping.

[Obamarama]

32. Anchovy haters need to try FRESH anchovies.....

Now, I like the brown salted things drenched in olive oil that come in cans ALOT, and I can see why some people would have an aversion to them.

However, if most anchovy haters had the chance to try FRESH anchovies I think you'd like them. They are not naturally salty, of course, and they are not so "fishy" tasting.

They are very subtle and are terrific in salads, on pasta, etc...
The only places I have encountered fresh anchovies have been Spain, Portugal and Italy.

[texas1928]

33. Sorry if I do not have the money to donate to DU

I am not going to Spain, Italy, or Portugal just to try anchovies.

[IronLionZion]

36. disgusting

but fish on pizza is damn good. Try salmon, trout, or just about anything that is not salty as hell or isn't anchovies.

yuck!

[BigMcLargehuge]

42. LOVE EM

I'd put em on my friggin cornflakes if I thought it wouldn't curdle the milk.

[sushi]

43. I LOVE(!!!) anchovies

On pizza, in tapenade, Caesar and Nicoise salads, onion tart, etc. etc. I always buy anchovies in olive oil. You don't know what you're missing!

Talking about food I want to add that I'm always trying new things. If I don't like it, never again, but if I do like it, great. May I suggest you try walnut oil on your salad.

[Mandate My Ass]

52. Yummy

You named all my favorite anchovy dishes, especially Nicoise. :9

[flamingyouth]

44. Love 'em!

Especially the fresh ones! Not so crazy about them on pizza, but whatever. :D

[bearfan454]

45. I hate them.

I got them on half a deep dish pizza one time and it ruined the rest of it too.

[redqueen]

48. I like 'em

but they have to be chopped up small and scattered around. Last pizza I got had them on there whole. Too much at once is not a good thing.

[texas1928]

49. Chopped or not they are nasty

:puke:

[Red State Rebel]

50. Love em!!! Great on Pizza :) n/m

[canuckybee]

51. One of those weird things

that I do not like, but keep tasting anyway. Like some kinds of cheese.

[MissMillie]

53. Like 'em

I'm finding that a lot of pizza places don't carry them because there's not enough call for them.
