HUNGRY GERALD

Salty, flavorful anchovies enhance many dishes (best are jared and not tinned). HG loves them and uses them frequently. Yes, there are folks who hate them. They often ask that anchovies be eliminated from Caesar Salad (the request makes the salad insipid). A favorite HG appetizer is roasted, peeled red peppers spread with anchovies and gilded with olive oil and grinds of black pepper. This was featured in Italian restaurants (don’t know if they are on menus now). One of HG’s favorite pasta dishes is linguine with a sauce of olive oil, garlic (much), anchovies and chopped parsley.  Perfect food after a rowdy night of alcohol and loud music. The French often lard a leg of lamb with anchovies before putting it in the oven. BSK has never done that but HG presumes “gigot” in this manner is yummy.
