Lemonade Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Afte being warned against them for years I had my first ever pizza with anchovies last night - courtesy of Snappy Tomato. I loved the salty little buggers. I want anchovies on all my pizzas from this day forth. What's the consensus? Love em or loathe em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Absolutely cannot stand them. The flaking skin off Satan's piles IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Quite often buy a tin and stick them on a pre-made pizza, but you have to be careful, they are damn salty and you can get easily scunnered of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I dig em...and a pile of lovely salty olives with a GnTlovely.not quite the same, but deep fried whitebait in a light batter is also magic (with a cold beer).....mmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 do you have to eat the heads of anchovies? that's always put me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveCrisis Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The only time I have anything remotely anchovy related is using Nam Pla fish sauce as a cooking ingredient.Sardines and pilchards any day for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sludge Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I love them.You can get a big tub of them from sainsburys soaked in garlic and olive oil.They are the shit.Could sit and eat the whole tub.Never have them on pizza really. I do like to pile on the jalepenos though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humey Whilem Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 one of the best/simplest ever pasta recipes:Fry garlic with chopped onion with 2 anchovies (softly don't let the garlic burn). They'll totally dissolve but the taste is brilliant. When the onions are soft add chopped tomatoes, let simmer for a bit. Add pepper and halved olives. Pour it over your pasta and there you go.To be honest I like the taste a wee bit stronger so I use 4, sometimes 5 anchovies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
