Summary

The website content is a personal reflection on anchovies through a haiku, acknowledging a dislike for them due to their saltiness, and inviting others to participate in a food-themed writing prompt.

Abstract

The article titled "Anchovies" presents a brief haiku that expresses the author's aversion to anchovies, finding them excessively salty. The piece is a response to a food prompt from Lucy Dan 蛋小姐, to whom the author expresses gratitude for the creative nudge. The author has recently resumed writing after a hiatus and welcomes such prompts to inspire content. The article also includes a photograph of anchovies credited to Félix Girault and provides a link to the original post that initiated the food haiku chain. Additionally, the author extends the prompt to others who might be interested in contributing their own take on anchovies, with a brief explanation of how to participate by referencing the original post and tagging others, noting there is no deadline for submission.

Anchovies and I Don’t really get on, they are Too salty for me.

Thank you to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the tag. I’ve only started writing again in the last couple of days after pretty much a month of silence, so all nudges and prompts are appreciated.

Here’s the original post I’m responding to:

Tagging all who feel called to join in — the prompt is ‘anchovies’.

How to join: include the original post of the person who tagged you for reference and tag 5–10 other people (or simply ‘tag all’) who might be interested in this prompt! (Ps, there’s no deadline!)

Personally, I’m not a great fan of anchovies, unless they’re chopped up into tiny bits and then dissolved into the base of a sauce. If I accidentally chew a chunk of anchovy, I get the shakes.
