101 Simple Meals: #74 (kind of)
By Kristen | August 20, 2007
Description: “Canned sardines packed in olive oil on Triscuits, with mustard and Tabasco.”
Notes: Yeah, that’s clearly an anchovy and not a sardine, isn’t it? I didn’t actually, oh, look at the list until I sat down to write this entry.
That being said, before trying this, I’d never actually eaten an anchovy before. It was… pretty good. They smelled like Lynn Beach in August, but they tasted considerably better. Salty, chewy, a little fishy — not bad.
And, to the amazement of my husband and I both: the kid ate an anchovy. The whole thing. And said it was “really good.” Go figure.
Rating: I need a do-over on this one.

mmmmmmmmm anchovies.
I like to fry up a tin of anchovies with tons of garlic , add pasta, grated cheese and pepper flakes.
Stinks up the apartment but it’s awesome.

Eating anchovies straight? You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

Inspired by your entry, I bought a tin of sardines yesterday.
They are horrid.

This, I think, falls into the “appetizer, not a meal” category with shrimp cocktail, though.
In college, my roommate’s parents used to send care packages from Spain that included anchovies, and I really liked them then but haven’t really eaten them since.

[…] I had more than six fillets from the tin I opened earlier in the week, and I was wary of putting them all in, but I figured it couldn’t […]
