I don't remember the last time I saw Ernest but I had that many pieces on a single slice.

The actor that played Ernest P Worell died in 2000. Jim Varney was born in Ky which is where he got the accent.
Interestingly enough, he married, then divorced, and then got remarried to a woman named Jane...............Varney.

When Teresa and I were early in our dating, one of the first meals I cooked for her was Pasta Puttanesca. I literally did that because she had earlier told me that she couldn't stand the smell or taste of anchovies. I showed her the ingredients after she had her second helping and guess what was on it?

Lamb?

 

[Mike CHS]

Anchovies but I think you knew that.

GB -- I promise to never try to serve you any type of sheep meat.

 

[Bruce]

Even the small amount of anchovies in commercial Puttanesca sauce is noticeable. Must be she had a cold that day and couldn't smell or taste.

I'll eat his share!!!

I've had anchovies before but not in the form that we get in the store here(soak in oil). They were dried anchovies. My parents used to make fish stock with them.

We keep some of the dried ones on hand also. I like the larger ones but don't care for the taste of the small ones. I've made soup using them but blanch the small ones to lighten up the taste a bit. I'm getting lazy as I age and anymore I'll use Fish Sauce instead.
