Candied Anchovy

[ursangnome]

A coworker of mine had a package of some form of Asian snack food that contained little candied anchovies. They've got the flavor of kippers, with a touch of herby sweetness, and the texture of a sliver of the deep fried onions used on green bean casseroles.

These are not a food I'd particularly recommend. I needed a cup of something strong to wash the taste out of my mouth, lest I be tasting fish all afternoon. The worst part of the experience was that Smedley got named before I ate him, because he had this cute little dried fishy face looking at me, and he was dried in a little curved arc, like he was jumping out of the water...

I have those, but they are not candied. I like them.

LOL. Me, I never eat anything I name. :)

Unfortunately, "Smedley," was the name of a betta I had as a kid, and a word we used for, "small, specklike thing," from a series of cartoons we wrote in junior high. This little fellow fit on both counts.

Suddenly remembering Ladysprite's graduation party in Ohio. Someone had musk flavored Lifesavers bought in Australia. ETD and I were the only two brave enough to try them. The description we settled on was "soapy cinnamon."

ROFL! I remember those! though I thought I also tried them *g*

Maybe ETD was the one who had brought them in. I guess there were a few of us.
