OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

I mean if you think about tripe in terms of it being a cow's stomach lining, yes it sounds disgusting. If you know what it tastes like and how it can be used in dishes, then no.

Same can said of a burger if you describe it as a chunk of a cow's ass on a bun. My Cambodian friend's parents don't eat American food because of the way it looks. Burgers and pizza are a big no for them.

True.

"Pizza" must be a concept as old as bread itself. There are mentions of flat bread with stuff on it since antiquity. It's was/is tipically Mediterranean. As for pizza understood as having tomato, that ingredient still lied at the other side of the sea. When tomatoes were accepted around here as food they started to be used in pizzas. So if you ask me pizza isn't a food originated in America, even though a common ingredient today in pizzas is American.

Edit: An Italian friend in the room next to mine agrees.

Pizza may have been invented in Italy but it never became a bona fide food group there the way it did in America to become a staple of the childhood, college kid, bachelor, bar, and dating ways of life. I'm pretty sure I haven't gone a week in my life without pizza at least once since I was 15.

I never said pizza was fast food. A frozen pizza takes about 20 minutes to cook in the oven. Any pizzeria takes (what seems like a lot) longer than that to bring a hot pie from the kitchen.

Granted, some pizzerias keep cheese pizza hot in the oven, and then take about five minutes to cook your selected toppings into it for a fast lunch. Or they just have a wide variety of finished pizzas cooked under heat lamps, like a Pizza Hut buffet, Sbarros, Villa Pizza, etc. That's cheating, but any burger joint that gives you a burger in five minutes has had it under a heat lamp for hours, too.

Pizza ain't fast food.


It will be now. Blame the Dutch.

Having a tomato, basil and mozzarella salad seasoned with herbs and pesto. Simple but delicious.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Yet it's Italian. It was popular there before the USA. Flat breads are a Mediterranean thing.

I'm sure there must some good native food from USA that isn't imported from somewhere else. Cornbread, turkey dishes. Chocolate. Tiswin. Whatever.

But that doesn't make pizza American. That makes these pizzas American. It's like saying English is an American language.

Maybe I just have too much of a phylogenetic mind. I've had similar arguments before.

For a snot-nosed little see you next tuesday to claim he's from Mars instead of establishing his geographic perspective with respect to "America," perhaps to justify the insignificance of his country of 4M with respect to a nation of 300M, all I can offer is that you shove your phylogenetic up your ganges catena ass.

Papa John's is not a particularly good pizza. they fk it up by putting the cheese on top of everything, Serious mistake. that allows things to steam under the cheese and makes for soggy pizza. It's not quite as bad with meats but with veggies it's a culinary crime.
Mushrooms and onions just weep liquid when placed under the cheese.

It's my favorite out of all the chain pizza places - Papa John's, Domino's, and Pizza Hut.

Although I haven't had Domino's since they redesigned themselves. Costco has decent pizza, but only when fresh. The best pizzas I've had have been from local places, particularly Vince & Dominic's and La Pizzeria, the latter of which was taken over by a Popeye's :(

I live in Chicago. Papa John's, Domino's, Pizza Hut, NY style - It's all SHIT! No Chicagoan worth his moustache is ever going to touch anything that wasn't made by the family owned pizza place on the corner. And, unless it's deep dish, pizza must be cut in squares, not triangles.

there is just too much stuff on a chicago style pizza, it's not really pizza in my opinion, It's something else entirely. I can eat it, but nothing beats a real New York style thin crust Pepperoni pizza, except maybe a plain cheese, or a pepperoni and mushroom.

Too much stuff? You should try some of the pizzas they make in Italy. When I was there last, I was at some random restaurant in Pisa (coincidence folks). And God knows why, but I ordered a seafood pizza or something. And it had everything on it! Squid, crab, shrimp, etc. all put on top of one pizza. Couldn't finish it, but it wasn't bad.
