Thanks, JB.  It seems when I converted my Anchovy Butter recipe I overestimated the time required considerably.  Next time I make it I'll try 5sec/sp5 and see if that still does the trick.  It will be nice to save page visitors 25 seconds in their busy lives.

I would be interested to hear how it comes out after 5 seconds as am unlikely to make it myself.  We all loathe anchovies in this house!

No I do not believe it. You don't like anchovies?  Food from the gods. I never have less than two 800  gm jars as backup,for,the one  in the fridge.

Anchovy butter on steak. Bliss.

Oh Gert, I wish I did like them but I am a vegetarian, although not by choice.  I just simply do not like meat or fish in the same way that anyone else might dislike celery or cheese, for example.  I have been like this since I was a toddler and on the 2 occasions I did accidentally eat something that (unbeknown to me at the time) was made with meat stock I got a very upset tummy.

As for anchovies and the other two in the household, DD doesn't like strong flavours and DH who is a otherwise a great fish lover thinks they are vile.  He doesn't like cheese either which is REALLY sad

Ah well I hate turnips. Thank goodness we are all different. Makes us all very interesting eh?

I think they're vile too.  Ive tried to convince myself to like them a few times, but I really really don't.

Thanks for the recipes and the 5 secs / speed 5 rule.

Hi Caroline, yes I agree but I will eat Lea and Perrin's Worcester Sauce which does contain anchovies.  However a friend of mine, who is a veggie, but has been known to eat chicken in countries such as Portudal where veggie food is quite had to come by, will not eat  L&P and buys supermarket's own Worcester Sauce. which doesn't have anchovies, lol, Weird or what?  And I agree with Gert, we are all different    BTW, neither said friend or I like mushrooms, they are evil little devils lol
