Gourmet Pizza

Yesterday some of the New Testament Ph.D. students took out one of our own for lunch who presented a paper at a seminar.  We went to a very good pizza place, which I enjoyed.  I was particularly impressed by their range of toppings, which included cactus, marshmallows, avacado, and chocoloate (and those are just the ones I can remember).  Wow.  I ordered chicken and broccoli, and I think the waiter thought that was a weird order.  On a similar note, the pizza place next to our apartment has an “Americano” pizza, that features corn.  Ironically, I don’t ever remember having corn on a pizza in the U.S.  Perhaps that is just the British way of paying tribute to Squanto.
