Having spent considerable time in Naples and Sigonella, I would say genuine Italian food is different, but not bad if you are a bit adventurous (some folks just don't care for octopus tentacles, fish with head on, etc.). American pizza is superior because it usually just has more stuff on it. Glad the Mrs. is home safely.
ReplyDeletePizza may have originated in Italy, but it disappeared. During World War 2 my father was in Sicily and Italy, and was shocked that the Italians had no idea what pizza was or how to make it. American GIs taught them how to make it!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what Italians did about pizza following the war, but it isn't surprising that it isn't up to American standards.
Drum roll, please....
ReplyDelete**Take your bow, Sir!**
To concur, Italy does not do pizza, not even in Pisa.
My very first meal in Sicily (in the 70s) was spaghetti. It had peas in it. I hate peas. Then I went to the club and ordered a pizza. It was OK but nothing like what we make here. Even those toaster oven drive in pizzas of my youth were far better.

That was disgusting. F'ing Frenchmen...and I hope that idiot's husband slaps her around when she gets home.
ReplyDeleteIs bourbon good for depression? Yes, I think it is and I know it goes well with frozen pizza.
I'm also glad the ladies made it back OK Rodge.
Napoli has pizza. Brick ovens heated with wood. The real deal, but still not as good as American pizza.
ReplyDeleteFrenchmen? That show is either from Nederlands or Belgian, and everyone there is speaking dutch. By the way the "g" is pronounced, I'd go with NL.
ReplyDelete"Frenchmen?"
ReplyDeleteYep, "French" is the filthiest word I can think of that Rodge will allow. The "f'ing" part was slightly redundant.
