*In a large pot melt butter into olive oil.*When melted, add in anchioves with packing oil and garlic. Break up anchiove fillets with back of wooden spoon.*Allow to cook, stirring often, until anchiove fillets completely break down and a froth forms on top.*Add in just a bit of half and half. It's only there to cut some of the extreme flavors. *Cook for another 5 minutes. *Serve hot in a fondue pot with bread and veggies for dipping.
