Dear SOS: We had a wonderful spread for bread at Zilli Fish Too (their fish dishes are also outstanding) in Covent Garden in London. I think anyone would find this spread and a loaf of French or sourdough bread to be a tasty and reasonably low-calorie hors d’oeuvre. Can you obtain the recipe?

Dear Walter: Bob’s your uncle. Pick up a loaf of bread, and you’re in business.

Sweet white anchovy filets, fresh anchovies that are briefly cured so they have a mild flavor, are sold at gourmet markets.
