pita bread with pesto and sliced cheese and tomatoes on top. My friend and I had a little quibble over this, she called me "sooo american" and "closed minded" when I refused to call it "pizza." She claims that in Europe pizza can be pretty much anything if it consists of something on top of something else. Your thoughts? Am I a biggot? |
||||||||
|

|
|
No. But aparently pizza in europe is bread with tomatos and other topings. Don't quote me on that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And cheese isn't a mandatory toping. But your friend sounds like the kind of girl that wears hemp and doesn't shave her armpits. Anyways, that sounded like a really stupid argument. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and where does Pizza originate from exactly? |
||||||||

"your friend sounds like the kind of girl that wears hemp and doesn't shave her armpits." she's the opposite actually, always wearing make-up...and showering. I hate it |
||||||||
|

|
|
Yeah! I hate make up and I hate girls who smell more like kitchen tile cleaner than zesty womanhood. |

that made me laugh, thank you. : ) scup_bucket : if people don't agree about whether it should, or could, be called pizza or not, i think it would be better to just call it "pita bread with pesto and sliced cheese and tomatoes on top" to avoid confusion. |
||||||||

|
|
i would call Taxidermist's brain a pizza |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eventhough it certainly isn't on top of anything? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hahahahaha!!! scup_bucket: you have to find something a little more interesting to brag about than talking to a girl. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Huh? My brains not on top of anything. |
||||||||

Your mom. |

we weren't just talking though, we were quibbling |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know, it's even less braggable. |

also, this girl and I just went to eat real pizza at a real pizza-serving restaurant. I only ate half the pizza--usually I eat all of it because I have the digestive system of a snake--so I could eat it tomorrow, because I like leftover pizza. We left the money for our order on the box of pizza and left without the actual box of pizza and now I'm going to think about my lost pizza forever. |

this story just gets worse and worse... :( i'll help you... let's see... My girlfriend, Tippi Hedren, and I were dining in the gold room at the Waldorf yesterday evening, when she noticed something very odd with her braised veal. It appeared to have the wrong garnish on the side. I rose to my feet and exclaimed, "No, no! NO! This is all wrong! Parsley?! HOW DARE THEY?!" I caught the attention of our waiter and demanded to see the chef and the maitre de immediately. When the three of them gathered in front of our table, I explained that they had ruined our dinner with their misuse of greenery and overall mediocre presentation. "So," I said calmly, lifting a greasy steak knife from the table, "I'm afraid you gentlemen shall have to pay the price." I took the knife and, with a rapid, fluid motion I learnt from my days in the French Foreign Leigon, speared a wayward cherry tomato from Tippi's salad and flung it straight into the chef's beady left eye. "How do you like that," I screeched, "how do you like having tomato juice in your eye and on your face?! Feels good? Huh? Tough guy? You like it?" Tippi, of course, was delighted by my manly solution to the problem and, after a bottle of complimentary sparkling wine, we retired to our honeymoon suite and made love until the sun came up. you see what i've done there, scup? try to make your next thread more like that... |

as a worldly wise man, surely you should know that the one golden rule is never ever piss off a chef. no really, don't do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and what's the deal with "pizza" anyway, I mean, it's pronounced "peet-za" not "piz-za" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I forgot what I was doing there. did you see what I was doing there? does anyone see what I was doing there? I've forgotten. This just isn't working out |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's not what i would have done... that was scup_bucket's story. |

There once was a place called Pizza Bucket and we were mad that the pizza wasn't sold in chucks in a soft drink cup to eat with a spork. We walked out of that place. Saved our money for some fucking video games. Those were the days. |

it's because it's an italian word, silly. actually, the words "pizza" and "pita" might have the same origin... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think your friend is the stupid american and you need to immigrate to openminded pizzabiggot country europe |
||||||||
|
|

Pita is greek though I thought? |

Pizza was invented in napals, italy. it was a margeretta named after queen margeret i believe. Well thats what i saw on "getaway" the travel show. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza |

boffin. |

"and where does Pizza originate from exactly?" italy, it was mainly a peasant thing untill a king who's name i dont remember made it popular, he put tomatos, mozzerella and i believe oregeno, or basil, or something green to match the italian flag. i think the rules of a pizza is bread/cheese/tomatos. anything else = toppings |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've read on the internet that both words came from "pide", a turkish word signifying bread... (i have eaten at a restaurant where they offered pides, pretty much similar to pizza or pita) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now - would you call a pizza? + there is a kind of "pizza" that has four different sorts of cheese on it but no tomatoes whatsoever. i don't know if you can find it in every country, but would you call it a pizza? (i've never tasted it so don't ask me if it's good or not...) |
