On the menu tonight: bagna cauda

I'm a healthy young man with a strongish heart, so I can get away with this.

Bagna cauda is an Italian fondue dish. You melt butter, mashed garlic (loads of it) and anchovies fillets in olive oil.

Then you eat it with chopped raw vegetables, bread and, to be a bit ghetto, potato crisps.

Its absolutely delicious!
