Sensual, Salty, and a Little Bit Spicy
Hello
No apologies for once again casting my net in the fruitful waters of Basque cuisine and history.
There is a pintxo — those tasty bites of stuff on a toothpick — that consists of a plump Cantabrian anchovy, a pickled guindilla pepper and an olive. Some people reckon it is the original pintxo, invented by one of the regulars at a bar in San Sebastián. Others are not so sure. Everyone agrees, however, that it owes its name — the Gilda — to Rita Hayworth, who starred in the movie of that name.
Also, The Swedish Anchovy Conundrum.
Listen and learn!
Take care, and Happy Holidays if you’re having one.
