    normal in the US

    Anecdotally,

    Having been all over the Midwest, and occasionally to the east coast, I have never once seen anchovies in a salad, and having asked my parents, neither of them have either, and my dad has been all over the world.

    So I’m thinking it’s more regional, or even familial in some places.

        Correct, people with little money in a country the size of some “continents” don’t get to leave their general area often.

        Sorry to disappoint you.

      Well… As I said… You wouldn’t see them as they are pureed into the dressing. Like in worcestershire sauce most people don’t know it’s there. But It is a normal item in the dressing weather you or dad knew about it. I was trained in Portland Oregon as a chef, and was a chef in every corner of the states. Literally, including Hawaii. In addition I have also traveled like your dad. I have a tattoo on my side of 26 countries that I was in for a month or more… Cooking and making this thing we are talking about. Not in just one region somewhere. 😂 But you don’t have to take my word for it. Look it up.

      “Modern recipes typically include anchovies as a key ingredient” from Google when looking it up.
