The Pizza of Anchovies



Now you may all have heard of our recent trip to Italy. Twas the 3 bafoons (my brothers and cousin) and I (the almighty sister) walking through the streets of Rome.

After a few hours of stalking our great friend the mime, our stomachs growled of hunger. Dinner was needed and my brothers recommended a fine traditional Italian restaurant. For some unknown reason my elder brother and cousin decided to be daring and ordered a pizza with anchovy toppings. Now as our food came everything looked amazing, we all dug in. One bite into the pizza the cousin cries Yuck! Its pretty obvious it didn't taste good. But my brother being him, ate the rest anyway, thats just what he does.


We took a break from the food, just sat and talked. But from such a tiring day, we all were a little crazy, saying stupid and weird things that didnt make sense. We discovered we didn't actually know what an anchovy looked like alive, so decided to try to make a face of what we thought they may be like. Now here is the definition of what they are : Anchovies are small, green fish with blue reflections due to a silver longitudinal stripe that runs from the base of the caudal fin.
However, this is our idea of what they look like:


So we all took a picture of our anchovy face.
It was a productive dinner: learning of a species, eating amazing food and taking horrendous photos.
There is of course a huge moral to this story, NEVER order anchovy pizza. It makes you insane.
