Mama Mia!

Good Morning Everyone! Today we are here to talk about one of America's favorite food: Pizza! Ahh pizza, food of the Gods! At it's heart it is the simplest of foods: Bread, Sauce, Cheese, Toppings but it is this simplicity that brings about such variety.

From your traditional Italian pizza

to a NY Pie

or a Chicago Deep Dish

it is a food that is loved the world over. What you can do in creating this divine delight is only limited by your imagination and creativity. In the US standard topping are Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Ham, Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Black Olives, Onions. In other parts of the world they have their regional favorites:

Sweden has their Banana & Curry Pizza

Japan has its Squid Ink Pizza

Brazil likes peas on their pizza

The sky is the limit as to what you can do with this dish!

Now the story that brought us here today; the French. Leave it to the French to go a route few have thought of: Long Pig (look it up if you don't know what that is)

A French Pizza Chef and his partner got themselves in a bit of trouble when short on money (how can you not make money selling pizza) decided it would be a good idea to rob a neighbor. Well things went sideways as they often do and their victim wound up dying in the course of their crime. So now on top of robbery they are looking at a murder charge. What's a Frenchman to do? Well for these two Crétins the answer was to cook the body up! You read that right Cook The Body Up! They chopped the body up, put it in a pot with veggies and cooked it until the meat fell off the bones. I don't know if they eventually planned on putting it on their pizza ( maybe using it for the base of a good sauce) as the two idiots got caught before they got that far driving around in the victims van with body parts & blood still in it. They quickly confessed in gory detail to their misdeeds.

So in conclusion next time you go out to get a pizza get wild and crazy with it just don't get French stupid with it.
