Anchovy-Pickle sandwich?

YUCK!!!

Opps!

My mother always said if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything.

You can see how well I listened to my mother.

Is "Opps" a positive or a negative comment?

Dill or bread-and-butter pickle?

Sounds good to me. Is it okay if I throw the anchovies and bread away and just eat the pickles?

Actually, I would prefer a half-dill ( deli style)

one throws anchovies AT things......like enemies. Same with DILL pickles. (sometimes you get 'points' for offering a big dill pickle that you weren't gonna eat anyway to a 'friend'.)

Bill,

Anchovies are fine. We might have to have a short talk about your eating habits- Over sushi, perhaps?

I don't consider "opps" as being either a positive or a negative comment.

"Opps" usually signals a slip of the tongue or is said when some minor, accidental thing happens as in my 16 Apr 06 - 09:38 PM post, when I did exactly what my mother told me not to do.

On the other hand, "YUCK" is definitely a negative comment. It signifies my distastes for anchovies.

But truth be told, I've never ever tasted those things.

Anchovies-they smell fishy and they even sound fishy and I don't like fish at all-be they alive or be they dead.

Well, I don't mind Nemo. But he's a cartoon character so he doesn't count.

Anchovies are GREAT. Try the following: One good sized anchovy, half slice of onion, raw garlic clove, 3/4" cube feta cheese. Chew. Swallow. Repeat often. Burp frequently. Use all your vocabulary that starts with aitches and esses. Fart and smile at those who leave.

Like Mack/Misophist, cheese and onion for me, but blue cheese and spanish onion, hold the mustard.

Had anchovies in a starry-gazey pie once. Never again.

It actually is not a bad addition to my old mainstay - the peanut butter and dill pickle sandwich. My preference, however, was always for "just enough" anchovy to enhance the PB&P without overpowering it. Sort of like the way *one adds a couple of (oil pack) sardines to a stack of pancakes to make the syrup slide down.

* I've been told not everyone does this. I don't understand why.

Drain off the juice the anchovies are packed in and soak two slices of soldatenbrot in it (if you don't have enough juice, press the anchovies through a sieve). When the bread's good and sodden on one side, pout the juice from a tin of oil-based sardines on the other (again, press the sardines in a sieve if you don't have enough oil). Heat up a skillet nice and hot, and melt some lard. Carefully place the bread slices in the lard and fry until crispy (on both sides, dummy!). Remove the bread to a plate and pile fetid cheese on one slice and cover it with the other slice.

Butter both sides of the sandwich, sprinkle with sugar, and enjoy!

" Over sushi, perhaps?"

ah, Bruce, my eating habits were honed in Kansas. Why would you think debating them over bait would solve anything?

(Now, I WOULD make an exception for crabs......that is one hard-to-find-in-Kansas item that was worth the move!)

A small amount of anchovy is added to many dishes and sauces - once cooked, you can't see it, and you can't taste it in small amounts (it is NOT 'fishy' when treated properly in the correct small amounts!) but it adds a wonderful depth of flavour to many dishes. People who claim they cannot stand anchovies always cause great amusement to good cooks!

I read this and, being of UK origin, immediately thought of Branston Pickle - what the Americans among us would call chutney. Lovely stuff, but I couldn't see it sitting well with anchovies - too strong a taste. I can see dill pickles and anchovies though, but I can't eat bread so it would have to be naked fillings for me......

Real men eat Limburger and onion sandwiches, on rye with mustard.

Real WOMEN, too!

I like the concept of peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches (why not add some cheddar?), but prefer to build pickled peppers stuffed with peanut butter and shredded cheddar -- refrigerate for a wee bit, and then they disappear (down my throat!).

I relish strong flavored foods -- lots of garlic, anchovies, pickles (and not just veggie pickles), limburger, blue and other strong flavored cheeses (any real cheese -- not cheese food product), onions, scallions, shallots, etc. And good beer or ale to wash it down.

Now I'm hungry and there's nothing I can do about it until I get home from work!

You sound like my kind of woman Linn. I learned about Limburger on rye with onion and mustard from my German brother-in-law, I love it and all the "strong" foods you mention.

bobad -- I'm a fifth generation Kraut (my last name is Schulz) who grew up in Milwaukee.

My FAVORITE pickle (and it's really difficult to choose -- never met a pickle I didn't like) is pickle beef heart and tongue. LOTS of onions! I also like pickled pig's feet and hog hocks in a pinch.

We've got a refrigerator full of mustards, too -- and damned few of them are sweet!

Oh, Jeri gave me some okra pickles for Christmas. Now, I can't say I'm a fan of okra, but I really liked the pickle. And I really need to get to a Trader Joe's and buy about a case of the pickled snap peas.

Ever eat pickled pig's tails, then? They used to have those, pickled pigs' feet, and pickled eggs in the taverns where I grew up (German and Irish folks, mostly). The jars of pig's tails looked like nothing quite so much as a jar of skinned snakes.

Never saw pickled pig's tails. In my extreme youth (1950s) I used to hang out in the social centers of the small towns in north central Wisconsin when my parents would visit -- bars, of course. I would have noticed pickled pig's tails. (Decor was usuall stuffed flying squirrels and deer heads, etc. Hamm's signs and lamps. Notty pine and linoleum square floors. Jukes boxes with lots of lights.)
