Pizza toppings

[Q Classic]

that's also quite true. wheat flour based cakes and pastries didn't make it big in asia until the us came through (and they don't taste too good, either, not when compared to the rice flour based pastries...)

what else? hamburgers/fast food. didn't originate in the us, but sure as heck got popular there and spread around the world.

question....who really FREAKING cares about the origin of PIZZA??

point is , it's some good eatin'

its origin is really babylonian/egyptian

you're ALL wrong.

The common belief is that Italians invented the pizza, however the origins go back to the ancient times. Babylonians, Israelites, Egyptians and other ancient Middle Eastern cultures were eating flat, un-leaven bread that had been cooked in mud ovens. The bread was much like a pita, which is still common in Greece and the Middle East today. Further it is known that ancient Mediterranean people such as the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians were eating the bread, topped seasoned with olive oil and native spices.

Flat bread isn't pizza. Flat bread cooked with a tomato sauce, basil, and mozarella is pizza. Since tomato sauce didn't exist until the Italians invented it in the 19th Century, you can't have had pizza until the 19th Century.

Actually, pizza was invented by the Incas thanks to the help from contact with an alien species. Not only that, but the Incans had the first pizza chain that offered delivery, in 30 minutes or less or your money back.

Don't believe me. Just check out the hieroglyphs.

Flat bread is universal, every culture has it.

I don't know if anyone has discussed strange toppings combinations, but one of the best pies I ever had was a BLT pizza. Cook normal bacon pizza and top with cold lettuce and tomato and -the touchy part- mayo. I think every slice took like a month off my life expectancy, but damn was it good.

I don't eat them anymore, cut that sort of thing out of my diet.
