Anchovies are an acquired taste, and fortunately for me, I acquired it as a child! I could always make sure no one ate my pizza just by ordering anchovies. I HAD to try this dish and I am so glad I did. I've never had anything like it. I heeded Rita's warning about the saltiness so I soaked the anchovies in milk over night to leach out the salt. Then I prepared as directed and it was a delicious spread for just my selfish self that no one else in the house will touch. I have enjoyed it for the last two days during my daily ceremonial glass (or three) of Grey Goose. Thanks, Mordreth! (I wish I had of spotted this LAST year when you posted it. I am going to keep this readily on hand for my Happy Hour indulgence)

I halved the recipe, since I am the only one who likes anchovies in this home. I did not bother to rinse the anchovies...oops...but this was still pretty darned good. I did process it in the food processor to make it more of a pureed pate. Next time will definately rinse these, and may even soak overnight then rinse to get more of the saltiness out. Will use this recipe again with those revisions to it...my boo boo not yours.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
