Notes
DID YOU KNOW?
Anchovies are usually used like a condiment. For example, they’re an ingredient in Caesar Salad dressing! If you like Caesar Salad, you might already like them.
“Minced” means finely chopped.
“Condiment” is something added to other foods to give extra flavor and make them taste even better.
