No triple-anchovy ANYTHING, please. As a kid, I ordered a Canadian bacon pizza for delivery from Pizza Haven (RIP). When it arrived, the driver said he had an anchovy pizza that couldn’t be delivered and that he’d let me have it for $5. Not knowing what anchovies were, I thought, “Why not? Good price and how bad can an anchovy pizza be?”
It took one salt-drenched bite for my answer. The rest of that pizza was jettisoned to the garbage can along with the box it came in (although the box might’ve tasted better).
Hey Mom, do not give Dad that option as he might be cheap enough where they will all be eating corn flakes for dinner when Mom does not feel like cooking.
I used to think that when I was young. Once I stopped eating out regularly my savings skyrocketed. Of course I blew the savings on a house and a motorcycle, but I ‘m pretty sure they will last longer than kfc and Micky D’s.
Moms COOK! oh wait this was circa 1980s!! Back when you had to walk to the wall phone, walk to the tv to change anything and when you are out no one can reach you, and when you got home you had a home cooked meal…TOGETHER! Now I remember!!!!
I seriously doubt that there’s a kid on earth that would want ANY anchovies, much less triple. I used to work in a pizza parlor, and I could barely stand to carry an anchovy pizza to the counter. UGH!
Now that I live alone I find I just don’t want to cook for just one person so most of my meals are microwavable and I will order a pizza or a steak salad for delivery, I do occasionally make pasta for myself. I also hate doing the dishes and the dishwasher in my apartment is old and doesn’t work and landlord doesn’t want to fix or replace it.
I am a homemaker myself, and there are certainly nights where I say with the exasperating tone that a hard day of labor brings “I do not feel like cooking, so we can do either fend-for-yourself or go out and grab something.”

Even for an anchovy like me triple anchovies is a bit much, but double anchovies is bliss.

Y’know, some “authorities” say it’s cheaper to eat in than go to restaurants.
Well, unless you grow your own food, you still have to spend money to eat in!!

Here is the answer for Calvin: anchovies would give a tiger a fatal amount of salt, even as a single serving. Let HIM try to disprove you.
