You will see anchovies on your pizza at the Toronto Exhibition this
year. The Canadian National Exhibition as it's formally known. Eat
em up baby!

Or maybe they are and they just got bought. So they didn't get recalled or
there isn't a shortage, it is just my Kroger. I guess I will have to
complain to the manager. Well I can do that. We have an Hispanic grocery
close by too and I noticed that they never have anchovies, so I guess they
are not popular in Tex-Mex cooking.

Well-run retail stores will know what items should be "never out", so if
something is a huge seller they will tend to always have it in stock.

If you google 'anchovy shortage", there has been some recent buzz about
depleted fishing stocks.

There have been sporadic shortages of tinned anchovies at retail
for the past couple years.

Hispanic stores (of any size) standardly carry tinned anchovies.

The name of the store is Foodaramma. They have produce that you don't see
very often. I don't know what most of it is. They also have odd meats, some
you don't want to look at.

15 days sure wouldn't effect the stock of the places I shop.

No kidding. I love anchovies but not on pizza.

I love them just about anywhere. Certainly a pizza will do.

Not how it works, Lou. Stores can have enough "white stuff", whatever
that is (milk and toilet paper, I know) to last a long time, but once
the storm warnings come out, the shelves are bare. After the storm is
passed, no sense in the store stocking back up on toilet paper, because
people have enough to last for a year.

I suspect a few ding dongs saw that anchovy news, and bought out every
tin they could find, God knows why.

The first time I ordered a pizza, I wanted everything on it.
"Everything?", they said. Yep, everything. The pizza came with
everything, including anchovies and jalapenos. In Texas. they put
jalapenos in everything, including kolaches and Chinese food. lol If I
wanted to share with friends, I learned to cut the anchovies.

Everyone has their own favorites. Like how folks use ketchup.

Definitely a regional thing. There's no way even a newbie server
would take an order for "everything" here. Some places have 20-25
topping choices at $1.50-$2.00 per item for a large pizza. That
would be a pretty expensive pizza and jalapenos are never on the menu.

I'm not going to go to shopping now to see but I'm sure my main store
has anchovies. You'd spend 1000's to buy them out. Between brand,
size and packaging choices there's probably 50 options. I cracked up
when I looked at the 2 pound tin. There's also these really cool jars
about quart size and the little things are packed in there in perfect
order. It's so pretty I'd be afraid to open it. I'll look later this
week but I really doubt a 15 day ban will have much effect the type
store I shop at.

We do have a jalapeno chicken dish, but I've seen that in CA as
well. All chiles used in other dishes are standard Asian chiles.
And jalapeno is usually a pizza option, often free.

IMO, Jalapeno isn't so much a Texas thing as it is a Mexican
thing. And where you have a lot of Mexican food, you have a lot
of non-Mexicans who also like spicy food.

This was many years ago, when I was about 14-15 yrs old. The pizzeria,
in this small Texas town, had pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon,
mushrooms, onions, peppers, olives, anchovies and sliced jalapeno. That
was it. That is what you got when you ordered the pizza with
everything. They did not have toppings like cheddar cheese, pineapples,
leeks, hamburger, chicken, bacon, spinach, salami, feta cheese, roasted
red peppers, etc.

Interesting pizzas are nice, but I always go back to liking the same
pizza, the one I had when I was a kid.
