   Very few people, when confronted with a bottle of anchovy syrup, say “sniff”. :)

   Nonne liquamen istud re vera garum est? Numquam id gustavi ego, sed te commendante fortasse mox ausurus sum …
   (Isn’t that sauce actually garum? I’ve never tried it but based on your recommendation, maybe soon I’ll will …)

   Hmmm… the poverty in me thinks that bottle would make a nice container for herb-infused olive oil, with some garden or farm market-fresh sprigs. If you get more, you could get quite a collection of nice oils to use. No?

   Fr. Z,

   How does it compare to dissolving some anchovy paste in hot oil in the pan before tossing with the pasta?

   Random Friar: Yes! And I make that sort of thing.

   Flambeaux: You need to add some red pepper flakes and garlic to that. Oh great, now I’m hungry.

   Petrus,

   Garlic is always in there. Whether or not I use red pepper depends on my mood. :D

   Yes… raw garlic and hot red pepper. I also use some chopped parsley.

   Mmm…I know what I want for dinner tonight. Alas, it won’t happen. *sigh*

    How much would you use for a family of four in say, pasta?

    I get emotional whenever I realize my can of Mountain Dew is empty.

    I checked the Amazon website-store for this item and it appears to be not available at the moment…

    I do so love those stinky little fish and anything made from them! If I knew how to type Homer Simpson’s “yummy” sound I would. You’ll just have to use your imagination.

    I think they’re out on Amazon, so alas, he is only able to reminisce, for now.
