Due to it's effect on my waist size, pizza is a fairly rare treat these days, but last night my woman said she fancied some so I looked at the leaflets that had come through the door recently, and finally went to a website as what was on offer in the leaflets seemed rather limited.
I've been aware, with some considerable disappointment, that trying to get a 'seafood pizza' has been near impossible for some time. But last night I couldn't even find a pizza delivery place that offered anchovies, not even as an additional ingredient !
What is going wrong with this world ? Even the food has gone down in quality/options. Should I blame it on Covid ? Or Brexit ? Or global warming ? Perhaps the anchovy is on the endangered species list.
And the pizza we finally chose wasn't as warm as one might have expected for a big name supplier :-(
Buenchico, I seriously doubt that it's not economical to fish anchovies these days. I watched an episode of "Made In Britain" yesterday that showed how Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is made. L&P use tons of the fish annually and they couldn't make the sauce without them. The steps taken in the manufacture is stomach-churning in parts but it's fascinating stuff nevertheless.
