Watching Babylon 5 and the episode where Mr Garabaldi (no relation) smuggles in and prepares bagna cauda against doctor's orders came on.
Being willing to experiment in the kitchen, I looked up the recipe.
It's pretty darn simple.
Most every recipe warns that if you don't like garlic, stop now.
They never warn against the anchovies.
I do not know if I like anchovies. I know several people who don't, so it's never come up as a pizza topping, or anywhere else.
I'm not much of a raw veggie fan, so making this to dip veggies into doesn't seem to enter my wheelhouse.
I am, however, curious.
I'd hate to discover that I don't like it after going to the effort.
Of course, the only thing I'd need to make it right now is the anchovies. Everything else is on hand.

Anchovies are also the base for real Ceasar Salad dressing. Which isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteIf you like sardines, anchovies are okay. If you don't like sardines, well, you'll probably despise anchovies.
Acquired taste...
Just tried anchovies (or was it sardines?) for the first time the other day. Despite the inauspicious packaging and reputation, it pretty much tasted not far off from the fancy smoked salmon I had a few weeks prior. It's basically salty fish, if you like baked fish it will be fairly similar. Also, it's cheap, so you can buy a little tin of it to sample, although I don't know how much flavor/quality varies by brand
