I like anchovies on my caesar salad and in my puttanesca sauce. Not bad
on pizza either, but I don't often go that route.

Salt was taxed in India, hence the significance of the famed "salt
march".
Anchovies are not eaten in India. At least I've never seen them there,
and never on pizzas. Pineapple on pizza is very popular though. But
not as popular as paneer and chicken tikka on pizzas. Just a little
Indian flavor there.
I've never had anchovies. The one time I had the oppurtunity, when I
was 15, I was disgusted at the face that I had to eat the heads. Did
not try it. However, now, I would definitely try it, if given the
oppurtunity.
Want to discuss international cuisine? want to discuss international
fashion? How about international anything? Join the international
conference. (It's been a bit slow, but I hope to resurrect it soon)

I have an interesting book about various food ingredients, called "Much
Depends on Dinner" by Margaret Visser. It goes into the history and mythology
and much more of several ingredients of a "simple" dinner -- chicken, rice,
corn, salt, olive oil, butter ,lemon, lettuce ,and ice cream. I haven't gotten
to the salt chapter yet (just got it yesterday) but it's fascinating reading
(lemons have a very interesting history, it turns out).

resp:28 really?
My mother-in-law and I had a laugh about anchovy pizzas... I think we
decided we'd order one sometime. My memory of the pepperoni/anchovy
pizza was that it wasn't too bad.
resp:29 yeah, on caesar salad, anchovies are good, too.

yeah they're good in salads & sauces, i don't get them on pizza
though, they interfere withj the fatty goodness of the italian
sausage and pepperoni that i like.

OH yeah. anchovies interfere with *everything* else on a pizza. They
pretty much have to be the only item.

I used to go to a LAN party where they would get what they called the
salt pizza: anchovies and green olives. Worked pretty well together,
but god damn did it give me gas. :)

Twila - I liked "Much Depends Upon Dinner" too. For further reading, I
recommand Michael Polland's book, "The Botany of Desire", which
discusses all aspects of the history of three plants: Apples, Potatos,
Tulips and Marajuana.

I'm currently reading "The Sins of Food", I believe it's called. A friend
loaned it to me.

(The reviews I've read did not mention tulips in _The Botany of Desire_.)

As it happens, the only non-medicinal drug I've ever used in my life is
alcohol, and I've never used enough of that at a time to get drunk.
However, I must have been using "to" much of something, as I also
misremembered the author's name - it's Michael Pollan. I just went and
pulled the book off the shelf, and no, I did not hallucinate the section
about tulips. It's really there, reviewers be danged.
Personally, I consider this one of the best books written about a very
important and badly neglected topic, that collision of human culture and
nature that we call agriculture. The subject of where tomorrow's dinner
will come from is oddly one that people seem to try to avoid thinking about.

The guy says it's the history of three plants, and then lists four. He can
expect to get a bit of hassle for that.
