I actually don't eat 'pizza veggies' for the most part. I can't stand them. Onions have a few exceptions. If it's a traditional pizza I always do meat lovers, or extra cheese. Given any choice though...white with spinach. Hmm...
I believe I have, once. Not something I tend to ask for, but I think at one of our company's pizza lunches there was a half a pie with cucumbers, so I tried it.
My favorite pizza right now is the bbq chicken style- bbq sauce instead of tomato sauce, mozzarella/parmesan/romano cheese blend, chicken, green onions, red onions, and a big ol' heap of cilantro added after the pizza comes out so that it adheres to the molten cheese but doesn't have time to get limp.
If I can have my pick, make that sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, black olives, rucola and gorgonzola. For dessert a batch of fresh stracchino and pear, pls. Oh, and a bottle of Villa Antinori Riserva chianti.
BOTH of you are making ME...oops I mean both Cesare and Alex are making me explode! *scream*
LOL.
C, who would take this opportunity to fuss over your brilliance (yes, you dear Liriaen) but I suppose now is not the time. But. Geesh, dammit woman...you can WRITE! *wail* And the wail is not jealousy--its desire. For what? FOR MORE! For a big fat book written by you, on my shelf. Not just one, but two, three more.... *wail!*
Shhhhhhh. Pst. Don't go make me all a-blushin'. Head's a purple haze already. Ha ha ha, my big fat book - I could always endeavour a magical realism retelling of the Sears Catalogue or the Frankfurt City phonebook, yes. But I feel all the books have been written, you know?
But not by you, Liriaen, not by you. Sigh. Therein lies the difference, and the attraction. You do not see how beautiful a writer you are.
Sigh.
I shall never give up. I will stay quiet about it, but I will never give up in the hopes...for if you think there is no point, why the hell am I, a much lesser-skilled writer, even trying?
Well, no, I probably don't see it, or see it one step removed; when I look back at some pieces I go WOW, I DID THAT? But those are few. And I don't really have what we call "Sendungsbewußtsein" in German. No sense of mission, because I don't really think I've anything to tell the world. And writing and scripting for money (i.e., that *is* my job) sometimes puts a huge dent in my writing-for-fun.
But thank you for the kind words. You know, I have my serial obsessions, and they ride me hard and leave me panting, and if a handful of others enjoy them, too - fabulous. I certainly wouldn't want to see them dragged into the light of day, which invariably would put me in a defensive position.
Vegetarian: broccoli, corn, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, peas, onions (whatever vegetable is available and strikes my mood) and lots of black-pepper-basil-and-tomato-sauce
Italian: italian ham, parmesan cheese, rocket, tomatoes and garlic flavoured olive oil (all of those are put on after the baking)
Classic: salami or pepperoni, black olives, onions, artichoke and red pepper
Indian: chicken, pineapple and a touch of cream and curry with the sauce
I had never had salami on my pizza, until Nick. Now I've found two places here who have it. Red Brick Oven--I always order the vegetarian pizza, and then say "Add Salami!"
For me, meatless pizza all the way. I love meat, but meat and pizza just don't mix well IMO. I like my pizza with lots of sauce and *lots* of cheese--can be a few different kinds on the same pizza. I love feta cheese pizza, and olives, either green or black, and onions, and artichoke, and spinach, peppers... And oh, tuna fish and anchovies too. ;-)
I only like cheese & tomato pizza. I have been known to eat others (I don't mind peppers or pineapple although if it's Ham & pineapple the ham will be fed to the nearest dog) but if I had the option I would only ever have cheese 'n' tomato pizza. I didn't tick Mozarella thought because it's just not strong enough- I like cheese with a Bite in it and I simply can't tast mozarella...
No, I'm not a great fan of cucumbers. Or peppers. I like making salads with all sorts of goodies in them, but am just as happy with butter lettuce, olive oil and vinegar.
LOLOL, I have had horrible internet/computer problems today but between me and my son we figured it all out. So lol I will do another post in a few minutes explaining why I was curious.
C, who shared a fantastic pepperoni pizza with mozzarella and cheddar with her son...yum!!!
