Carp, I'm *not* disrespecting Pizza. Anyone who (like me)
has had a real Italian Pizza will tell you its wonderful.
I'm just pointing out that the US style Pizza took a
great idea and butchered it -- like so much else in
America :)

please, I've been to Italy. I know what a real pizza
is like. There was also a great Italian place round
the corner where I lived in London, and that was
quality. I just object to the americanisation of a
great food.

There are some great food from Scotland, but stop
changing the subject!
