I love liver but my son can't stand it. I cooked it oftn when the kids were growing up but that was one of the few times that I cooked separate items for them.

I get some looks occasionally when I put two tins of anchovies on my ceasar salad though.

@Devonviolet all ya need is a step for them and a bucket with some pellets in it...they will Hop up on their own, or if she has a stanchion it could be that step.

Excellent idea @CntryBoy! I like it, I like it!!!

Here is my little blurb I got off a web site some time back on one of my favorite side foods:

Health benefits of anchovies include healthy heart, lower levels of bad cholesterol and toxin levels. It helps in improving skin health, reducing weight and strengthening teeth. Intake of anchovies also reduces risk of osteoporosis and macular degeneration. The nutrients and vitamins found within anchovies are the main factor behind this wide ranges of benefits people can enjoy by adding them to their weekly diet! Their taste is not pleasant to many people, but for those with certain health conditions, you might want to learn to love these salty little fish, which are normally sold in tins or cans and can be put on pizzas, sandwiches, in Caesar salad dressing, and tomato sauce. Of course there is always the other side: The final consideration about anchovies is their high level of sodium, which is definitely a factor for people with high blood pressure, because a massive increase in sodium will put you at a higher risk for even higher blood pressure and an increased chance of heart attack or stroke.

Yup, the going up is the easiest, I always had an issue getting them down out of the bed of the truck... But it could just be me

@greybeard you'd probably recognize it as MRE....

No, we ate from little cans, but I still don't understand about 'texture' in regards to eating.

M-m-m-m! Now your makin' my mouth water! Somewhere around here, I have a recipe for the original Caesar Salad. It came with the story, about a chef, named Caesar, who cooked in a restaurant in Mexico City. One night, they had a run on the restaurant, and ran out of most of their food reserves. But, the people kept coming.

So, he collected what he had and made a salad, using the following ingredients:
Romaine Lettuce
Onion (thinly sliced)
Olive Oil
1 Lemon for juice
Garlic (finely minced)
Anchovies - coarsely chopped
1 Egg - whisked to combine
Salt
Crusty bread
Parmesan cheese thinly sliced & loosely
crumbled

He cubed the bread, fried it in olive oil (until crunchy) & set it aside.

Next he broke the Romaine lettuce into bite size pieces, and tossed it in a large bowl, with the sliced onion.

For the dressing, he whisked the juice of one lemon with olive oil, garlic & salt and poured it over the lettuce & onion, along with the raw, whisked egg, tossing lightly to coat the lettuce.

On top of that, he sprinkled the Anchovies, Parmesan cheese & bread cubes. With a light toss, he was ready to serve his hungry customers.

Needless to say, the salad was a hit and became a favorite of Ceasar's customers.

Teresa used to manage an O'Charley's and we make ours like they did. I'll grill a steak while she makes the salad and then top the salad with slices of steak. Now I'm getting hungry and may have to test the pork shoulders I'm doing for tonight.

Don't test too much, Teresa might want some for dinner

I think the "does not" vs "no" is correct however.

I am sure that the 'does not' would be the proper translation, quite often in Spanish they use their verbs in a different order. I had 6 years of Spanish in school but my vocabulary is horrible. I can read it but usually have no idea what I read and forget translating from the spoken word. My MIL spoke very little English even though she lived in Texas most of her life. but I always let my FIL or DH translate for me.
