Both she and my Grandfather had green thumbs. I tried growing sweet potatoes recently to no avail, but i discovered the leaves are edible. My green thumb is the leaves.

Do a google search for gentleman's relish as there's a recipe on there which produces something close which may be right up your street. You may be able to buy a larger tin of anchovies from a delicatessen, my local one stocks it occasionally. Good luck.

Love some gentlemen’s relish (that’s not a euphemism...). If you like deeply salty foods like marmite, you’ve got more chance of liking it. I’d never mix it in eggs though, I’d spread it on the toast and then spoon the eggs on top. Really lovely creamy/salty contrast and no grey eggs. Great video!

Anchovy paste is well known in south east France (its called "anchoïade"). You can add a hint of it in your salad dressing. You can use it in Tapenade recipe. Heat some up with a drop of oil, once liquid spread it on top of a thick pizza/bread dough, bake it and you get a lovely "fougasse à l’anchois" (anchocy bread).

When I find an abandoned spoon on the side of the road I think of the story of a women from the US who became a civil rights activist in Guatemala(and back in the US too). She met a man in a guerrilla movement there and when they married they gave each other a spoon with some colorful knitted thing attached to the handle. Because apparently if you are in the wilds of Guatemala during a civil war a metal spoon is precious and something you keep on your person at all times. The contrast of spoons in one place being so valued in one place and discarded on the side of the road in another is striking to me. I have mentioned this to people before but as I wrote out at a comment I finally decided to search who this was. I believe it was Jennifer Harbury and I saw a documentary or news report about her in the 90's where she talked about her husband who had disappeared. An interesting story overall, but the spoon instead of a ring part really stuck with me.

The spoon segment needed a voice-over, ideally in a female US accent, like in those "I found a stray kitten" videos. "So I was walking along, when suddenly something caught my eye... It was this little, sad-looking spoon, sat in the road. It looked like someone had just thrown it away. So I picked it up and IMMEDIATELY felt this bond! I took it home. It seemed, like, so scared at first, but we cleaned it up, and after a while, it really developed its own character. It now gets on SUPER well with our other spoons. It REALLY enjoys letting them know who's boss in the spoon drawer! *cue lots of comments about how people that abandon spoons should be shot or chemically castrated, followed by other comments about how spoons suck, and that forks are better, etc etc...*

We don't have saltwater in Hungary, so any type of seafood is considered very bizarre. Even regular things like shrimp. So any type of seafood product is unkown, and considered a taboo here. I myself have been lucky enough to travel around and experience many cultures and foods. Ive gone from a person who couldn't eat any seafood to one who loves now shrimp, crabs, clams and calamari. But there's one thing I can't stand it's anchovies. I don't know, it just doesn't feel pleasant to me... Of course that doesn't mean it's bad, it's just not for me . Anyway, very interesting to see such a product. Greetings from New Delhi!

Didn't try fresh, but the canned version (in oil) and the ones they out on pizza, that's truly ew for me... Also forgot to say: scallop! Absolutely disgusting. For me they just feel like very very very strong ocean flavor. Things like calamari though oh boy, it's heavenly!

@@christianemms8332 In Turkey you can see barrels of white Anchovy fillets laid out in a flower petal design in barrels on the dockside. Those in the small jars quite often have herbs and garlic in, but that wouldn't stop me eating one or two in passing.

I used to dive for scallops with my uncle, and we'd eat a quarter of them raw while shelling them on the boat. One for me, three for the bucket. That way we were under the catch limit if we got inspected upon our return. :)

That spoon bit was the loveliest recycling/anti-littering advert I’ve ever seen. Now I want to find perfectly good cutlery by the side of the road, wash it while listening to peaceful music, and give it a new home in my cutlery drawer. But where I live I’ll probably only find old McDonald’s cups.😖

Aww, that interlude with the abandoned spoon coming home, being washed, and being added to the family of mismatched spoons was heartwarming.

This week on Atomic Shrimp. Potted poop - and then we watch him wash a spoon. The reason I love this channel 🤣 so surreal at times. Not sure I'd be picking up spoons off the street mind, they're usually a sign a Heroin addict is around, they use them to "cook up" their smack before injecting. Go near a quiet spot near a chemist in an urban area and you'll see loads of discarded spoons. Alanis Morrisette would be gutted when on a knife hunt.
