The original Ceasar salad didn't have anchovies! And they're still made without them at Ceasar's in Tijuana. I don't know when they were added (I'm guessing sometime in the 1950s) but I like my Ceasar with anchovy.

The Rum Runner is a great drink made with the recipe you provided, but where they invented them (at the tiki bar at Holiday Isle in the Keys) they now make them in a slurpee machine. For shame!

I didn't know that, and I like the salt of the anchovies as well. Found this with a Google : "It is amazing how many people think the salad is named after "Julius Caesar" but really it was named after "Caesar Cardini" (note the spelling) who created the salad at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico and it was prepared and served right at the table. The original recipe for Caesar Salad did not contain anchovies."

I love this : "Holiday Isle is home to the World-Famous Tiki Bar, where the infamous Rumrunner was originally created. The first establishment on the spot was built from driftwood in 1968 and was known as the Happy Hula Hut, with the first ten-foot section of the Tiki Bar being added in 1970"

Such was the Florida Keys when I moved here as a teen back in the 70's, and much of the Keys are still like that, but the slurpy machine is just like Key West, reaking from the foul stench of success. :roll: :(
