A lot of people seem to balk at canned sardines. Maybe it's the crunch of biting into the spine that puts people off..

    I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.

    Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
    Read the "anchovis" on the description, but confused it with "artichoke", which I like.

    Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were "dead fish complete with bones" on my pizza.

    I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers... ;-)

    dead fish complete with bones

    Well they're harder to keep on the pizza when they're alive!

    Keep in mind that I still was under shock and just kept repeating, horrified as I was, the first thing that came to my mind: "Da ist ein toter Fisch auf meiner Pizza!" (Southern Tirol is a German speaking part of Italy), which also became a running gag and stayed with me until the end of class :-)
