A can of anchovies in olive oil at Union Market was $7. No kidding. The same size can, also anchovies in olive oil, at Key Food: two cans for $3. Guess which ones we bought?
Drain the anchovies (1 can) and chop very finely. Also chop very finely one clove of garlic. Mash 3 tablespoons of butter with the blade of the chopping knife. Now mash all three together with the knife until smooth. Spread thinly on slices of baguette. Pour yourself a glass of off-dry, very cold white wine, in this case 'Flying Ace Riesling', 2008 (Mosel).
Best eaten with a close friend.
Rhubarb at the newly opened (last Spring) Fairway: $9/pound.
ReplyDeleteRhubarb at the long established Stop & Shop: $4/pound.
No contest.
(Honestly, it's rhubarb. Even if you're a rhubarb enthusiast, and I am, how much better could it be?)
HOW MUCH?!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can see I'd better take Melanie shopping with me!
Anchovie pate brings memories of a dear friend.
I think I can get about six cans at Costco for less than $10 - will have to checks for sure because that spread sounds great. Definitely on the "try it" list.
ReplyDeleteWow, so expensive. I love anchovies, this spread looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAnchovy lovers everywhere thank you. So simple, I can't wait to try. It would probably stand up very well to acorn bread.
