Lesson #41 Alici translated means anchovies . . .

     Anchovies. They really are an acquired taste. Well, Italians, especially those from Naples love their anchovies! A Neapolitan pizza has mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and anchovies! This is really something good to know, especially if you are one of those people with whom anchovies don't quite hit the spot. Well, unfortuantely, menus in Italian don't just say ANCHOVIES on them in big writing. They say alici, which translated means anchovies. It's one of those things you wish you knew, then didn't and feel stupid about.


     Well, unfortunately for Kali, that happened. These little fishes were in her pizza! But, because she felt like she should have known that alici meant anchovy, she ate the whole pizza. Every single bite looked slightly painful, but she finished it off and the waiter looked very pleased.

     Lesson #41: Alici means anchovies, if all else fails, feed them to Kali! (Just kidding!)
