Hold the anchovies...please?

I had calamari that was the steaks, cut into strips about 4 inches long, an inch wide and a half an inch thick that was the BEST calamari I'd ever had, but it was a one-time-only thing at a local restaurant. I haven't had it in a while though.

I also had clam strips that were about the same size as the above-mentioned calamari and that was real good also. I can't seem to find Geoduck clams anywhere.

I like anchovies on pizza occasionally, but there are other toppings I would rather have (for example, mushrooms or artichoke hearts).  I LOVE anchovies in my Caesar Salad, though.

No anchovies for me thanks, Java. 

I always order from these guys: www.debonairs.co.za, the best SA pizza ever and the home of the wondrous triple decker pizza.

Trevor: "Drool, slobber, slobber...." that pizza is great. 

Just BTW, that price in SA rand is about US$7.

Tempting, but I'm not convinced to pack my bags and move to SA.

The lamb curry pizza sounds good - but it might be better with a layer of rice. 

Corn-on-the-cob as a side item at a pizza joint? Must be a SA thing!

Really?  A whole post on "No anchovies", and nobody mentions Nick Danger or Firesign?  One of the catch phrases of the late '60's/early '70's pop-culture was the line from "Nick Danger:  Third Eye", "I'd like a pizza to go, and no anchovies".  "No anchovies?  You got the wrong man!  I spell my name Danger!" (Slams down phone receiver) . . ."What?"

On the next Firesign record, "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers", it is revealed that it's George Tirebiter, Dwarf's hero, who'd actually dialed the wrong number and was trying to order the pizza from our detective Nick.

Firesign brought it back again and again -- In "The Three Faces of Al", Rocky Roccocco places an order for "An anchovie to go, and hold the pizza!"

Oh, I enjoy them , by the way -- very good with capers -- both anchovies and Firesign Theatre!

While my wife likes sardine sandwiches, sardines in tomato sauce on bread with a little mayonnaise, and my daughter and I enjoy sushi, none of us would ever put anchovies on a pizza. Anchovies on saltines are an okay snack but putting them on a pizza just seems vaguely sacreligious to me.


Sushi trivia: Sonny and Cher performed a song to the tune of "If You Knew Susie", the only part of which I remember is "If you knew Sushi like I know Sushi, oh, oh, oh what a geish" and this is now stuck in my mind, sort of like "it's a Small World Afterall" at Disneyland.
