No you'll hate yourself later

Why? I kind of want to order a ceasar salad, hold the croutons but add anchovies, is this retarded?

only if you individually name each anchovy and savor the flavor and the aromas of their spines breaking between your teeth

>>15698900
Are they really that gross? For some reason it sounds really tasty right now. Nice salad with some anchovies. I'll probably get steak tips or something for my main meal but I need something supplementary.

>>15698898
They are so fishy and stinky it will ruin your whole salad if you don't like them. What the hell go ahead and try it.

>>15698922
caesar salads already have anchovies in the dressing
>>15698898
do it pussy

>>15698909
no, the bones are soft and unnoticeable and honestly I love anchovies. it's a nice combo of salty and savory

>>15698898
get them on the side retard

>>15698947
good idea
so how many of you actually like anchovies and aren't just meming me? what are some other good anchovie dishes?

>>15698926
many western places don't include the anchovies because people don't like the taste

>>15698955
theres a large subset of poorfags on here who seemingly survive off canned fish. there are also the tendie monsters who despise deenz/chovies and only eat french fries and pizza. i am the enlightened centrist in the middle of the spectrum. be like me.

>>15698900
lad...

>>15698955
Anchovies on top of deviled eggs are heavenly.

>>15698976
it'll be okay, Jason

>>15698979
What's the best brand of anchovie? What would you walk into the store and buy?
Post anchovie brands?

Well either way the order is in. Ceasar salad with extra anchovies on the side + motz sticks and steak tips.

I'm eating the anchovies. They're good. Thanks lads.

>>15699328
Based choviebro, you should check out deenz general.

>>15699357
When I looked at the catalog it creeped me out that they used the same OP pic as I did after just googling randomly "anchovie brands" >>15699027

>>15699405
It's your destiny, anon.

>>15699405
That's because that brand is famous for being the best canned seafood brand.

>>15699426
What's the difference between sardines and anchovies?

>>15698955
I had them once as a pizza topping and was surprised how good they were. Probably even better on a salad now that I think about it so I'll have to try that.
On the other hand I once bought a tin of anchovies because work was getting pizza and the fatties all demanded meat lovers with no vegetables and anchovies were an absolute no.
The tinned anchovies were horrible. They tasted like pure bricks of salt with no other flavor.
TLDR: great from a restaurant, but the tinned version you get at the store are sodium bombs with no other flavor.

>>15699437
Anchovies are smaller and usually far saltier.
You might use one or two anchovy fillets per plate, dissolved into a pasta sauce as a massive ooh mommy boost.

Sardines are milder and meatier.

>You might use one or two anchovy fillets per plate
Yeah, for the record I did like the anchovies but I fucked up my ceasar salad, it's too salty to even eat. I got them on the side but when I liked them I dumped them all in. I fucked up.
that said I'm still eating it, but now I'm not even sure if I should actually eat all of these, I ordered extra, there's like 1oz of anchovies on this salad, is that safe to eat all at once?
Should have left them on the side, dumb prick.

>>15699027
Most people around here use an anchovy paste as a sauce additive, because they're afraid to dose tomatoes with a fish sauce and worcestershire is too peppery.
Given how many you're likely to use, look for a jarred anchovy. DO NOT DISCARD THE OIL. You really want a few drops of it in a sauce, or to boost a mayonnaise.

I'd go with a can like you pictured if I was making a tray of deviled eggs. In fact, I probably have one in the cupboard. Depends on the audience, of course - some people are put off by capers or anchovies, and want a little strip of crispy bacon on their deviled egg instead.

In something like a cesar salad, you maybe use 3 fillets per plate, plus a few drops of oil into the dressing.

>>15699507
I'll remember that for next time.
Why are they portrayed as grossin media? Literally kino.

>>15699490
>is that safe to eat
You won't die.
Be near a toilet in 2 hours; the salt can make your guts cramp fiercely and you'll need a shit.

>>15698879
No matter what it is the answer is always yes, what's the worst that happens, you don't like it? This only applies to food, obviously.

>>15699490
Remove the anchovies, wipe excess salt from them (a damp napkin might help) then chop them down to tiny pieces and re-toss salad with dressing.

>>15699520
Luckily I'll be at work for the next 12, likely playing video games and not doing shit, so I'll take a fat dump in comfort in the wee hours of the morning. Idk how many more sardines I can eat though, they gave me such a crazy amount holy shit.

>>15699523
I'll probably do this when I get out of work in the morning. I'm probably gonna be snacking on them little by little, but I'll freshen up the salad and reuse all these anchovies.

>>15699516
>portrayed as grossin media?
Same reason "kids hate broccoli" is a trope.
From age 7-13, kids are highly influenced by peers and averse to strong flavors.
That and 60 years of crappy overcooked broccoli.

It's a strong taste. That's it.
If you're a flyover WASP, you don't like those.
If you've overcome the shortfalls of such a heritage, you can enjoy them.
I expect that since we're 50 years in from the American garlic renaissance, and pho is pretty common now, we're going to see more people going for anchovies in the next decade.

>>15699521
Damn, I should have read your entire post before I just shot up for the first ti-

>>15699555
Thanks food census bureau anon.

Fuck, everytime I eat an anchovy I have to eat a snickers or milky way right after, my body craves the sugary taste after such a thing.

>>15699595
do you just have a surplus of snickers at home

>>15699600
>do you just have a surplus of snic-
Yes.
