I made a decision this year to be even more adventurous than I have been in recent times and decided that I was going to try as many new flavours as I can and to go back and try things that I hadn’t liked in the past. Its been working out well so far, I havn’t tried anything recently that was a new taste but I have revisited a few oldies.
A while back at school I tried and enjoyed seafood chowder which is something I have never really been a fan of, and actually found that I enjoyed the recipe we made. (you can see the pictures over in the link called food from school)
At the food show that Bruce and I went to a while back I tried an anchovy stuffed queen olive which I actually enjoyed and I also tried a whitebait fritter ( the little eyes always put me off in the past) I felt it was nice , it just needed a little more taste. Anchovies are something I have been able to cope with if it was in a sauce but always found a bit too salty for my tastes if I were actually to eat one
Today at school we were doing classic salads ,I will post pictures of those in the next day or so
one of the salads that we did was Caesar Salad , which was just gorgous btw. Normally I would pick the anchovy fillet garnish off and leave that on the side but I made a conscious decision to actually eat the Anchovy.
It was just unfortunate that I happened to grab the Anchovy and a peice of crispy bacon in the same mouthful. I got this tasty mouthful that was just a little bit too salty together but absolutely delicious. And the texture of the Anchovy was a little surprise in that it was salty and soft and unctious on the tongue. For some reason I wasnt expecting that texture thing.
Beware little Anchovies Im coming back for more of your tasty little friends.
