I went to a good pizzeria in new York. They have all the vegetables like in
a deli, uncut in a cooler. You select the ingredients, and they fresh cut
them. Might have been in Brooklyn I remember getting egg plant, but forgot
the others, maybe tomato.

I never heard of eggplant until I visited a barber. He told me how his
mother started making pizza. he also told me, you know what one of the
best ingredients is? Eggplant. Later, I visited that ny place. It was on
the menu.

What does that rule have to do with prosciutto?

I'm often a vegetarian - at least for about 1/3 of each meal.

I love the mushroom and onion pizzas.
I also like the plain pepperoni pizzas.

If I buy two, I get one of each.

I like banana peppers on pizza occasionally.

My ex used to make a killer white broccoli pizza. When my daughter went
over there on Sundays, she often made it. Good ol' daughter would always
come home with some for me too. It was really tasty.

I've experimented with that a little but still no luck. It's a white pizza
with semi-large bits of broccoli, tons of garlic.......very good.

PS - all that said, my ex and I are on good terms (hey - we both share the
same daughter). Hello Gary???? Why not email her and ask for her recipe?
DOH!

Once I get it and try it, I'll post it here if it's right.

Prosciutto is not smoked but cooking destroys its texture... people
don't spend all that money for the flavor of prosciutto (other than
salt it has no flavor), prosciutto is all about texture. Only a food
imbecile would top pizza with prosciutto. I don't think any kind of
ham is a good topping for pizza, and bacon or any smoked meat on pizza
is definitely TIAD.

Well, I ate at some people's home also. In 12 days, only had 1 bad
meal, and that was in a bar for lunch. All in all, the food was
excellent.

I've been meaning to ask what color paint you use on roast chicken vs.
steamed fish.
