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.
