My Review of El Serpis Olives

Originally submitted at Cost Plus World Market

El Serpis has been a popular brand of Spanish olives since 1926. The company originally pioneered the production of anchovy-stuffed green olives. El Serpis olives, whether stuffed with anchovies or red peppers, are tasty on their own as a snack, in a martini or as part of an antipasto.

Olives with anchovies! Wow that must be some kind of flavor explosion. Salt overload?
The panni sounds great- can you post the recipe?

Teresa,

You might think so but the processing of olives and anchovies outside the U.S. produces a remarkably different product than the anchovies that you find on the average American grocery store shelves.

One pleasurable food memory . .

Leaving Tuscany to head back to the airport, our friend ,who owns a food market filled with delectable specialties from around Europe, packed me an anchovy sandwich on unsalted Tuscan bread.

She explained that the anchovies were from Spain and touted to be the best in the world.

I was amazed at the flavor and consistancy of the anchovies. No mushy fish but a firm, flavorful anchovy. Now I "dream" in "anchovy"!

I will be happy to share the recipe for the Pannini.

And it is scheduled to be on an upcoming episode of Home At Last.

Also, there is a great sugar and salt cured salmon recipe coming up on the Foods of the Nutcracker.

I will making it into Tea Sandwiches.

Happy Thanksgiving! Patty

Artist-Walter Anderson

    Make time for the Walter Anderson Museum, an eccentric artist whose work has been labeled "intense and evocative". A daily ritual of rowing twelve miles to an isolated barrier island provided Anderson the opportunity to paint and draw the island's vegetation, birds, animals and insects. Stunning water colors and intricate patterns allow a glimpse into the lonely mind of a brilliant artist. Located on the main street of charming Oceans Springs, Mississippi.

Vernon Kilns Honolulu By Don Blanding

In the mid-80's, Ron and I decided to accept a job offer in San Juan Capistrano, California! We had no money to speak of! About $700 by the time we arrived in California! We arrived on the California coast with a packed 280Z; including our newest family member, Henrietta, a pretty white rescue from the Japonica Street SPCA in New Orleans! We couldn't afford an apartment when we arrived due to the fact we ONLY had $700! We rented a motel room that allowed pets and Ron went to work.  Poor as church mice, we finally struck a deal with a landlord to repair a condo ravaged by too many parties and druggies. It turned out to be a lovely rental after we totally renovated and redecorated! Our time spent in California was wonderful. I think we'd still be there now if not for my unreasonable fear of earthquakes! We loved the food culture, the weather and the friendly people! We particularly loved the Rose Bowl Antique show every month and found the garage and yard sales to be
