I just found out the original recipe didn't have anchovies in it. Some sick fuck came along and said to themselves I wonder if I can hide this fish paste in a salad

I have never seen anchovies in a Caesar salad. Is it a regional thing?

Edit: It's in the dressing, right. My bad.

It's normal in the US, Germany, and New Zealand. Elsewhere I can't say. It is often removed from store bought dressings to make it vegetarian but is in any quality dressing. I would say it's typical everywhere but can't say for sure. Also, I was a chef in those places, it's how it know.

Note after reading your comment again. You wouldn't see them in the salad as they are blended into the dressing.

Ahh, into the dressing makes sense, yeah. I think I've done that myself before, now that I think of it...

I've also seen very self consciously posh versions in California that have a few anchovies draped on top.

Haha, yeah, I've worked in a place that did that in Oregon. But they had bomb vinegar cured anchovies though.
