I have traveled quite a lot and eaten in some of the best restaurants in Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, Boston, etc. but I have never found a Caesar salad to compare to the one at Wil's! It truly is a meal in itself: green, crunchy Romaine wrapped around proscuito, with shavings of Parmesan, and the most flavorful, homemade Caesar dressing. Kudos to Wil's for a unique twist on the Caesar. And thanks for making sure I get some greens while on the island! ha!

Prosciutto in caesar salad? That's an interesting and welcome novelty.

That is a unique twist Pauline which I've never had before.Maybe they should call it something other than Caesar Salad. I'm not quite sure how the taste of prosciutto (even if it's from Parma) would go with anchovies.

Like "Caesar Salad with Prosciutto" ?

Prosciutto on a caeser salad is just WRONG! Extra anchovies please!

Speaking of anchovies: can anyone tell me where I can find decent white anchovies? Whole Paycheck (aka Whole Foods) sells them but in small quantities with big prices. I am looking for larger quantities and smaller prices.

Believe it or not I have seen a VERY large can in our Costco!

White anchovies at Costco? Be still my heart.

By R. (I'm feeling snarky) A. (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4108) on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 - 8:01 pm: |
I believe so Leo...I'm heading there tomorrow, I will verify and report back! I'll even take a picture if they are the correct ones.
|
By Leo Irakliotis (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #322) on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 - 8:05 pm: |
That will be lovely, thank you. Even the label/brand name will work.
|
By R. (I'm feeling snarky) A. (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4109) on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 - 8:09 pm: |
Well Leo, I live in a city in California and there is a large Mexican and Portuguese population, maybe that has something to do with it. We also have lots of Mexican markets, I bet they have them. Now I'm on a quest!!

Please note: Anything else added, it becomes just another salad.

Did you guys ever see him in "Fur: an Imaginary Biography of Diane Arbus"? I can't even begin to tell you what it's about. Except that I didn't know it was RDJ until the end, when she shaved him...

Ann, here's one for the celebrity sighting annals. A couple of years ago, I saw Glenn Close three times in three days: getting her baggage at the airport, at Richard's, and then driving a truck on the tourist road with her grandaughter (she pulled over, honked, and waved). I dreamed I would run into her coming out of the water and say, "Where's those puppies?" ha

Glen Close still gives me the shivers from that movie she did a long time ago about an unfaithful husband. Old brain cannot remember the name of the movie.
