I was having lunch yesterday at an Indonesian market / fast-food joint in Los Angeles (with, among others, Hanah Metchis, Brian Doherty, and Ted Balaker), and I bought a bag of spicy fried anchovies. Each item was literally one anchovy, spiced, fried, and covered with sesame seeds. They were actually quite tasty, more spicy and sweet than salty, so I’m glad I got them.
But the real reason I’m glad I got them was that then I could go up to people I knew with the bag, and say “Hey, would you like a spicy fried anchovy?” How often does one get to do that?
