Somewhere In The Ether…

It’s one of those curious foods wherein I like the taste of the first one but my initial gastronomic glee abates rapidly with each successive one.

It’s the same with Halloumi and Olives for me

I like them in small doses - they are very Umami and salty but moorish.

They are the secret ingredient that gives HP and Worcestershire Sauce and gentleman's relish their distinctive flavours. They are added to a wide array of tomato based sauces to give you that rich depth that comes from adding Umami flavour into a dish.

So most people love them, they just don't know it. Ps. real fermented Anchovies melt on a pizza and dissolve in your mouth... the ones you probably don't like are the cheaper salted ones that aren't matured and fermented and taste a bit fishy....

I've just made cheese scones with sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone loves them. My secret ingredient? A couple of anchovies mixed in well... Makes any savoury dish better!

quite close to you

Cut them up until they nearly resemble a paste and add them to any Italian tomato sauce or red meat marinade and you’ll be very pleasantly surprised

I love the way you mind works xx but not that relish sadly..... The base ingredient is the sediment scraped off the bottom and sides of the fermentation barrels after the Anchovies have been fully processed.... I'd offer you a taste of my relish, but I'm no Gentlman, so it won't taste of rotten fish xx
