Everyone's entitled to their opinions, even if they may be wrong. -looks significantly at fable and Magrus-

I just want something delivered, dang-it. Is that too much to ask?

heh. It's not so much that I'm too lazy to cook--although I am--but I have so little food atm. I don't wanna venture out and buy food, especially when the major grocery stores are closed. Ugh, I just got out of Kmart with my pizza. $7 for two, though, not a bad deal.

That is probably the most startling attack on fake-italian food I've heard in my entire life. Did Fable have a wee too many jelly beans today?

Tony, I've had to consume that stuff once, after we did a long and tired move, and my sister-in-law had recommended it. She's from St. Louis, but that doesn't excuse her inability to discern the difference between food and a poor simulation of same.

I actually grew up in or near New York City, at a time (back in the 1950s and 1960s) when there were still street corner vendors out everywhere late into the night selling incredibly thick, cheesy pizza, dripping with olive oil and tons of spices. They don't even make it that way in the area, anymore, though before I had my heart attack, we found a pretty good pizza place down in Alexandria, Virginia. Still, not quite the same.

Well, you've obviously been spoiled Fable. Nothing else will be quite good enough....

You can get it like that here at a specialty pizza place. Most places who attempt to make a decent pizza go with the big, thin crust pizzas with huge monster slices though. Then you have the ones that just make dirt cheap pizzas like you'd find at a gas station, thick crust, too much cheese and sauce, and barely any toppings.

@ Chim, I still want pizza. Screw it, tater tots and chicken fingers for dinner!

What are tater tots?

In fact, what are chicken fingers, while you are at it?

Parts of this thread remind me of one of my earliest recollections

I was around 5 or 6, and my preschool teacher was talking to the class about the biblical significance of Easter...i.e The Ressurection and so on.

Now this was the first time in my young life I had really been exposed to Christian beliefs, though I did know about Christmas.
I, very innocently, (and it *was* innocent, I was only a kid) said...
But Christmas was only a few months ago... Jesus did not live very long, did he...

Hello dear.

Tator tots, are essentially shredded potatoes mashed into little round nugget shapes.

Chicken fingers, are, if you have good quality ones, pieces of chicken breast in the shape of a finger. Lower quality ones....ground up chicken mashed into a finger shape.

@ DW, that's hilarious!

Never enough garlic, never enough basil or oregano. If it can't kill a vampire at 20 paces when you breathe in their direction, it isn't true pizza.

Might as well include all those chains that do pizza in that, as well as some that are upscale and claim to offer better. Not that I do pizza that much these days. My pulmonologist considers it heart disease food. I have it perhaps once a month, now.

Thank you Magrus. I had to know that before I go to bed. It would have kept me awake

You sound like me...I can't sleep unless I have sorted, resolved and filed away each and every thought which has occured to me each day. That or I'm drunk.

@ Fable, Garlic is the way to go!

So true, so true. The only way to get good pizza around here is for a guido family to start up a pizza shop!

I take it your friends have lost their sense of smell in some tragic accident then?

They usually eat the stuff alongside me. Then we walk into a bank, breathe out, and walk out with the bank, while everybody is lying stunned and senseless on the ground. That's how I made my first 5 million, and became a famous pillar of capitalism.
