Re: Caffeine! (Italian Style) (Extremely Long Version)

I must interject here. I've had Italian Pizza, throughout northern and central Italia, and I've got to say that some american sauces still taste very good. I've also found a few good ristorante style places here even in Rapid City, SD with real stone ovens. Like, actual italian traditional stone ovens. I have come to the conclusion that the oven creates the perfect crust, and is the most important aspect of the perfect pie. The fresher ingredients are generally preferred, but buyer beware.

I recall the occasion wherein I forgot the definition of "tonna". My pizza arrived topped with generous portions of Tuna Fish. Dear lord god. As well, Pizza Uovo was really wierd. I mean, 3 eggs cracked over a pie? It ain't right.

HOWEVER! Potatoes are one of the more brilliant breakthroughs I've ever seen on Pizza. Yeah, I know, you all are sliding away from me, and giving me those judgemental looks. I did the same to my friend, assuming a facehugger alien from the movie Alien had taken control of his brain. Well, I was wrong to judge him. It totally rocked.

Also, fresh sliced tomatoes on a pizza are sublime. You need to try that one.

The best possible topping combination therefore? Potato, Tomato, Prosciutto Ham, and Pineapple. Divinity to be sure. I never remembered to try it, but I'm really willing to bet that cavallo (horsemeat) would have been pretty damn good too.

Oh, I'm certain that a few old italian cooks are rolling in their graves right now at twice the speed of sound, but hey, they put shrimp, anchovies, or tuna fish on pizza. They screwed things up WAY before I came along.

I mean, Tuna Fish on Pizza? Honestly!

And as a side note:
I'm aware of no scientific study which conclusively proves that caffeine is irrefutably harmful to human physiology. I've found lots of studies trying to prove that it's almost akin to fresh springwater from the fountain of youth, and others which seemingly set out to convince us that being within 3 miles of a caffeine molecule will cause our internal organs to shrivel up and fall out, leaving only empty corpses to feast upon delicious brains.
