Cilantro!!

Speck, did you get my email yesterday? If not I'll resend it, but I needs me some info, girl!

I like cilantro, in small doses. I can picture it being good on pizza, but submit that fresh Italian parsley would be a better choice.

It's a sort of Thai chicken themed piece of pizza. Not bad.

Fris, I'll respond to yer email soon. I'm trying to find out when I'll be done and how I can get from my hotel to you.

There were people giving out samples of DiGiorno microwave pizza in the plaza next to my work today. As far as I know it didn't have cilantro.

Isn't that an ingredient Hannibal Lector eats his people with?

No that's fava beans and a nice chianti, Hannibal was one for whom cilantro was "soapy."

Soapy Cilantro... sounds like a nickname W. gave to somebody...

If you don't know cilantro which can bring you peculiar pleasure, your life looks like hell.

I have no problem with cilantro on a pizza (I can't seem to taste it at all), it's the chicken I object to. Pepperoni, salami and sausage (in all it's wonderful forms) are the only meats allowed on a real pizza.

I have to agree with deborah on this - real pizza does not include chicken or any other white meat. The rule is that the meat product to be included must be at least 4 processing steps removed from real meat. There are no exceptions allowed. Seafood is optional.

The law of pizza used to be No Fish, No Fruit; a No Fowl amendment is certainly in order.

What about anchovies? They're fish and I love anchovies. But pineapple is an abomination unto the pizza gods.

posted by mygothlaundry 12 October | 00:04

Anchovies, in moderation, are acceptable. The last time I ordered pizza with anchovies, the entire pie was covered with whole fish rather than salty little bits you can eat and not question too closely. It was nasty.

i'm eating my pizza with a knife and fork
because i don't want pizza on my mouse or mouse on my pizza

There was pineapple on my last pizza and I enjoyed it, but then, I wasn't sharing it with anybody. Eating pizza alone is the Overeater's equivalent of the Alcoholic drinking alone.

Specklet, your pizza sounds great but it looks as if I'll miss your visit to SF, alas.

Best pizza on earth: cilantro, tomato, onion. Thin crust. From Alberto's on Bathurst, south of St. Clair in Toronto. Mmmm.

Sweet potatoes and bacon. Try it.
