I've eaten real spaagetti in Italy, just north of Venice. The noodles were coated in olive oil and a pile of red sauce sat dead center on the plate. There was no meat in the sauce.

Down here in the South I was raised to think that a nice sauce (spaghet) was just full of meat. An upstate Italy transplant friend taught that it was all about the tomato and not about chunky meat... I think most of the "pizza chains" it's about the quality of cheese used. Thin crust and real cheese... not this fake dog food stuff that they call Mozzerel. Then again, I'm a pasta and beans type o'guy.. fazzole/vazule... whatever. > From: "Gary Hurst" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:19:31 -0500 > To: "Banned List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Mercedes Discussion List" > <Mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Subject: [MBZ] why america is finished (pizza, not mercedes) > > i grew up in queens, which is not exactly a hot spot of culture. despite > the barbarism, there as still a few things we still value. in terms of > food, pizza and deli are sacrosanct. most queens pizza is a simply round > think pie that is very flexible, the crust being topped with a little sauce > and quite a bit of good mozzarella. this is the paradigm for pizza to many > americans. for those who prefer more bread, a so called "sicilian" pizza > is offered with, rectangular with an extremely thick crust. both are darn > good! > > one might think that having grown up with such a strong pizza tradition, > that i'd be some kind of new york pizza snob. i am not though. i recognize > that there are many styles of great pizza apart from the simple new york > style. there is really so many possibilities because pizza isn't anything > other than topped bread. for example, take a gander at this CT pizza from > the north end of the long island sound: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Whiteclampie.jpg > > it is fantastic, no? > > so with all this array of simply amazing possibilities, what do most > americans eat for pizza? well, um, dominoes and pizza hut. the frozen > stuff in the supermarket. > > how can a nation this moronic rule the world? the end must be near, no? > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
