Pizza
AKA - 'pisa' 'pony pie' 'wet bread' 'portsa' 'the king's face' 'steamed broccoli'
The worlds most underrated bread/cheese/sauce food mixture ever created.
Brief History of Pizza:
Most people are mistaken to think that the pizza originated in Italy along with spaghetti and meatballs. The truth is, pizza was invented by an Australian explorer, James 'kangaroo belly' Dundee, who the Oscar award winning movie crocodile dundee was loosely based on.
The original name for pizza was koala cake. This lasted from 1293 - 1986, when the pizza was introduced to Italy. Once it arrived, the popularity of the pizza exploded world wide and Italy was credited with inventing the pizza.
Of course, they had their own versions of the pizza which were very unpopular.
A common example of the failed version of the pizza: Using seaweed instead of bread, glass instead of cheese and beach sand instead of sauce. Although these ingredients are delicious on their own, they do not meld together (it's the process in the oven that ruins all the flavor) as well as the current pizza ingredients.
Current state of Pizza (world wide):
Pizza is the most popular food on the planet (earth). I know it sounds like a stretch but, I spoke to 3 people and they all agreed. Frank, Jen and something with a P, they were very drunk at a pizza joint downtown after a night of boozin, but they seemed very knowledged on this subject do to the fact that one dude was all in my face about it (he gave me a hug on the way out so it's all good).
Barack Obama has been quoted as saying "This great nation, full of pizza eaters, has hope." Which proves to me that pizza is a well known food. I haven't been able to get my interview with him yet,but when I do, I only have one question for him:
As president, when you walk into Pizza Hut (or Dominos, or Pappa Johns etc.) do you get free Pizza?
I am assuming he would, I would give him a free slice.
Barack, if you are reading this, I will buy you a slice (only 1) if you sit down for an interview with me. I promise, the interview will be more professional then the one you had with Bill O'reilly.
In conclusion:
There are lessons in life, some are more obvious then others but what I hope people learn from todays post is this:
There is a world out there, you need to grab it by the crust, fold it in half and eat most of it, but leave the crust, unless you are really hungry and only have that one slice.
