Bagna Calda (hot gravy) or Bunyacauda (americanized). From the large group of northern Italian immigrants to Colorado in the 1890's and 90's to work in the silver mines.

2 Quarts half-and-half
2 cubes butter
A lot of garlic
3 tins of anchovies in oil
A bunch of chopped celery and optional, other veggies
Homemade style bread sliced

Add the anchovies to the butter in a fry pan over a low heat. Break them up with a wooden spoon until they are pulverized.

Start adding the cream slowly over low heat. Stir. Add more cream. Stir.

At a certain point, the butter and cream will blend together. Stop adding half-and-half at that point. Cook it down 'til it is thick over low heat.

Serve in an electric skillet keeping the gravy just barely bubbling occasionally. Everyone stands around the table and scoops the gravy and veggies up onto the bread.

Delicious beyond description and a great holiday dish.

Some replace the butter with olive oil. I don't think it's nearly as good.
