ventaSince you lot seem to be a mine of culinary information, here's another one:
What does one do with anchovies ? It came as a bit of a surprise to me a while back to discover I like them - marinated in oil and various other Mediterranean things, they bear no resemblance to the nasty, dried up cadavers one encounters on pizzas.
I usually just eat them with bread, or I suppose you could include them in antipasti. Last night I experimentally ate some with a leek and lemon risotto, and... well. It was edible, and I'm not dead. But it didn't really work, and I won't be repeating the exercise.
The anchovies have rather a sharp taste, and I can't really think of things that they'd go well with. Anyone got any suggestions ?

What does your foody mum do, by the way ? Just curious, as my mum writes a cookery column and various foodie features for the newspaper she works for, so I've spent my entire life being a guinea pig for experimental recipes :)

She's also doing some radio cookery thing, and is trying to get a cookbook off the ground. Not bad for someone who doesn't actually eat!
How are you so slender with a foodie mum? It's not fair!

Sounds exciting - and like it's a full-time job. My mum works for a very little newspaper, so she's cookery columnist, but also farming editor, business editor, and possibly she delivers the things too :)

Good luck, I think - well, it certainly isn't good judgement. I think I won a fast metabolism in life's draw - which is only fair, because I sure as hell didn't get a decent immune system :(
