pizza toppings

[m31andy]

Dear friendslist,

I've just had the most weird pizza ordering conversation evar. When ordering a second custom pizza for myself, cuvalwen and guvngladys, the pizzaman couldn't stop laughing at me. So tell me, oh friendslist, is chicken tandoori, chicken tikka, mango, mushroom and broccoli such an absurd topping combo???

Yours, bewildered...

I'd have thought steak and chips pizza was more suitable for guvngladys...

[cuvalwen]

Oh great. NOW you've done it. They're looking at us with pleading eyes.... Will have to make that now the next time we make pizza!

Whose idea was the broccoli? Has Count Duckula joined you?

[cuvalwen]

You know us, if we don't eat all our dessert there won't be any broccoli and sprouts.

Naw, it's only weird if you put anchovies on it.

btw, it's delicious. We're going to call it the Sam Tyler, being, as it is, chicken and fruit!!!

Being Italian, the mere idea of seeing chicken and fruit on a pizza repels me, but I understand how different nations offer different toppings according to the local taste. When I lived in England, I used to eat pizza with pinapple myself, so I cannot really judge your choice. Hope the taste was good, though! :)

(P.S. - appropriate icon is appropriate, LOL)

Did you never have the fruit pizzas as desserts, then? We did when I lived in Sicily.

[space_oddity_75]

Until now, I didn't even know they existed! But I live in Lombardy (in the very North of the country, close to Switzerland) and our cuisine is very different from the Sicilian one. Southern Italy offers a bigger variety of foods and many of their specialties are almost totally unknown up here. Wouldn't mind trying them someday, though. :)

I remember them being given to us in restaurants...

We lived halfway up a mountain south of Cefalu, and there were restaurants in the middle of nowhere. I distinctly remember one occasion when my dad to me, my brothers and my cousins out for dinner, when we were kids, and they gave us this pizza which had peaches and confectioner's jelly on, and was dusted with icing sugar.

That pizza sounds like a marvel!

(The mango pizza worked really well, actually. But, there again, I'm a huge fan of mango chutney.)
