Anchovies

[NerfHerder]

My roommates and I are going to get pizza tonight. I've never tried anchovies before and I want to know if I'm missing anything. It's usually crazy dudes and dudettes who like anchovies on their pizza and I think I may fit into the classic description of an anchovy lover.

Therefore, anchovies shall be the topping (for my pizza), tonight.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Has anyone else tried 'em? Whattiya think?

I used to be very against them, but have learn to enjoy them in certain things....I haven't quite worked up having them on my pizza yet tho...

they make a great flavor enhancement to sauces etc.

I love anchovies on pizza. peperoni and anchovies is almost as good as sausage and anchovies. The real crime, though, is that most pizza places have to run out and buy a jar of the little bastards when someone orders them. They just don't keep 'em on hand much anymore.

If you like salty stuff, you'll probably like them on pizza. I love anchovies but my family does not so we don't usually order them on pizza. They don't taste so salty when the are an ingredient as opposed to a topping.

If you've ever had a ceasar salad that had more kick than normal, you probably just had some anchovy paste. Never had 'em on pizza, though. I found, to my surprise, that I like the little fried smelt that come as tapas. Pretty similar as well, but fried.

Fuck. They were out of anchovies.

I got bacon instead and got $2 knocked off.

I WILL HAVE YOU YET, ANCHOVIES! Luckily I order pizza at least a couple times a week so I'll have them sooner or later.

i've always found the tinned, salted anchovies a bit too strong for my taste. I do love, however, ones that have been lightly preserved in vinegar (they still have white flesh). You can probably get them from one of your eye-wateringly expensive gourmet supermarkets.
