Whoa! I had never heard of this.
It actually sounds a bit frightening to me.
But if Mama Mangia says & she has a recipe I bet it would turn out good.

thank you for the compliment - but remember - we all have different tastes - and what one likes - another may not - and that is understandable

remember - you are dealing with a woman who love anchovies!!! and not too many people do! LOL
