Bagna cauda - 100% guess from the words and then the description, which reminded me of Puttanesca, also Italian, and with anchovies 🙃

Absolutely savage WRQ for me, I really struggled with that one, although I just ran the questions past my partner and they got more than me! haha.

 

Well done everyone and thanks Mi-Amigo for doing these WRQ's.
