Last night it was time for #TheBaldOne to make good on a bet for an Anchovy Pizza. Showing full confidence in the ability of Army West Point Athletics and this years Cadets football team. he wagered with Navy veteran #BlackHat that they would beat the Midshipmen of Navy Football. He was quite sure of the result and looked forward to watching the Bosuns Mate pony up for the pie.
Little did our bald pal know that a simple fake punt, the result of a mistaken snap would ruin this Anchovy Pizza dream. When Yogi Berra said “It ain’t over ’til it’s over” he knew what he was talking about. Yogi, by the way, was a Navy guy.
Anchovies seem to be a hard thing to find nowadays. We called two places, one here in Salem that we hadn’t visited in some time, and one in Beverly that we’ve been meaning to try. They had no anchovies. Then we called a spot that we were sure would come through, and Mandees Pizza Salem did just that. They stand today as our Anchovy Heroes.
The pies were delivered quickly and were still hot. We say pies because #MissMartha, accomplice of the Bosuns Mate does not do little salty fishies. A small Sausage & Onion Pie was her choice.
Thanks you Mandees Pizza Salem for standing ready and able to answer the anchovy call.
