The recipe for anchovy pie is certainly interesting. The cheapness of the plate, emphasized in the introduction as an important element, contrasts with evidence with certain price wine bottle not modest combined with pie, Champagne brut cuvée prestige Maison Taittinger. I do not doubt that this combination of food and wine is pleasant; In this case, though, It could recommend a fine white, but not so expensive.
hello White, thank you for your intervention. Then, our combinations are simply suggestions' gender’ and they are not part of the recipe of course prescriptively: i.e., even if the recipe is 'economic', why we not suggest an equally 'cheap wine'. In this sense we mean that an anchovy pie are good of 'bubbles’ and we recommend a wine to our taste, then if you want to follow the advice 'bubbles’ you can buy those preferred, Doc also a prosecco which is located at the supermarket at modest prices. Thanks again (not many people to notice the pairings with the wines and I am glad that you have read carefully) and have a good day. ADA
As you can see I'm making the rounds. Anchovies from us named “sardoni” nothing to do with sardines. In fact, not to take the fine at fish market is dietary modification, the two names otherwise old Trieste seeing only anchovies ….. I really like fries, Open cutlets or flan I ate in Calabria is completely different from this except the breadcrumbs and cheese or ricotta cheese for grating. Noted ciaooo
But those in saor what are Hedwig? Sardines or anchovies? Also I fried or in Patty, you find a lot of recipes with pilchards and anchovies because I love oily fish, poor yet rich in health!
The sardines are used in sauce that we call them pilchards maybe because it never got big. But they also use the sardoni aka anchovies because sardines or pilchards are very fat. The anchovies/sardines in Trieste go far white ones that are more gradine and old fishermen say that you have to buy them in the months with the “r”. These white paste – When you find – If you have the safety on the freshness I even marinated, but it's so rare.
Good luck big kiss and good day
