Combine garlic cloves with olive oil; let blend for 6 to 8 hours. Heat 2 tbs of this garlic oil in a large skillet. Add French bread. Saute until lightly browned; add salt and pepper. Reserve.

Finely chop the anchovies and mash them up very well into a paste with their own oil. Combine this with the rest of the garlic oil. Add dry mustard and a few generous grindings of pepper to taste. Add Worcestershire, wine vinegar and lemon juice.

Tear up the Romaine leaves into serving size pieces. Pour the dressing over the leaves. Top with croutons and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve immediately.
