Made these while hosting a small group, & relied on their comments to rate this, 'cause there's no way I'd sink my teeth into an anchovy ANYTHING! Absolutely true, but that doesn't stop me from making something that others might enjoy, & they did, devouringly so! The way they put it, "Hey, Dumb-#*$! You don't know what you're missing!" Ah, so!
