I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.
Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
Read the “anchovis” on the description, but confused it with “artichoke”, which I like.
Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were “dead fish complete with bones” on my pizza.
I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers… ;-)
Keep in mind that I still was under shock and just kept repeating, horrified as I was, the first thing that came to my mind: “Da ist ein toter Fisch auf meiner Pizza!” (Southern Tirol is a German speaking part of Italy), which also became a running gag and stayed with me until the end of class :-)

Well they’re harder to keep on the pizza when they’re alive!
