I like to think of myself as a pretty open-minded person.

But I had some pizza today that had spinach and ham, and it was fugly.

Maybe spinach and ham don't go together?

They don't go on pizza; they're not pizza ingredients.

Who says? You can put anything you like on pizza.

That combo works in a calzone, so why shouldn't it work on pizza?
Maybe they used too much spinach.

I share that opinion. I would never have ham or asparagus on pizza.

Or maybe they didn't cook the spinach enough.

What name? I didn't come up with "calzone". It's a real word.

Canadian bacon and onion. Old favorite with me.
I like mushrooms, but don't usually order it. I also like onion, but don't
usually order that. Just because I'm cheap.

Other good stuff with me. Egg plant, cauliflower, dried tomatoes, sliced
tomatoes, but please, no broccoli. If it's Italian, got have eggplant on
the menu.

I'm not fond of ham anyway, and don't want it on pizza. Soon, my cup
will runneth over with home-grown spinach. I have lots of it sprouted
in both my community garden plot, and a small raised bed in my back
yard.

I think I'd use Gruyere instead of Pecorino Romano cheese. Besides the
fact that it melts better, I think the flavor would match the other
ingredients better. But the term "spring vegetable pizza" seems a bit
misleading, since it's an asparagus-and-mushroom pizza, and mushrooms
are not particular harbingers of spring the way that green peas,
asparagus, and artichokes are.

I think of morels as more of a pre-spring thing: You know how every
winter you get a few days when it *feels* like spring is here, then the
winter comes howling back? That's when morels show up.

Okay. Maybe I've just gotten the ones which showed up at an odd time of
year. Back to the topic at hand, would you put morels on a pizza with
asparagus, and if you did, what herbs, cheese, and sauce would you use?

No. Spinach, lettuce, onions, shallots and radishes right now, and
the strawberries are still there. Later, tomatoes and peppers. We
also have blackberries, raspberries, cherries (both pie and sweet, a
peach tree and this year is the first that we might get plums. The
apples are still two or three years from bearing. Oh, and I put a
piece of sunchoke into the ground in an isolated area.
Lots of flowers too, daffodils, tulips, Virginia bluebells, bleeding
hearts, poppies, peonies, Easter lilies and roses.

Possibly... but that image looks awful! I wouldn't do that to asparagus

Not and have me accept it as pizza you can't.

Chicken does not belong on pizza. Barbecue sauce does not belong on
pizza. Potatoes do not belong on pizza.

And I don't claim anything for the term "enchilada gravy" except that
it's the term I learned from the cookbook that finally told me how to
make that stuff that went over enchiladas (I couldn't figure it out on
my own), and that the google evidence at least shows it's not a term
unique to me.

Now, there are times when I like flat bread-food. For example, shrimp
is not a pizza ingredient, but a piece of bread dough with tomato sauce,
shrimp, well-chosen veggies, and cheese on it can be quite good.

I would'nt think so; the general rule is that smoked meats have no place
on pizza.

Hmmm, when I was in Italy this last summer, I saw it on every pizza

I think of it as "traditional"; pizza ingredients were quite stable for
the first decade or so I knew about pizza, and then suddenly people
started adding just anything. And nearly all the new stuff goes badly
on pizza.

To me if you want to be a traditionally oriented kind of talker about
food, when you say prosciutto you are talking about something that is
not smoked -- you have to say smoked prosciutto or speck if that's what
you mean.

I'm not going to say anything about ribs.

Okay, I'm not expert on the prep details of the various old-world
preserved meat types.

> I'm not going to say anything about ribs.

It's a safe topic for me. I don't especially care for them, or hate
them especially strongly, and can see virtues in at least two of the
common preparation styles. But basically, I don't like rib meat that
much, there's too much stuff that's not food in it.

A continent is, after all, just a big island.

I think the usage has caught on among my friends because it had become
hard to answer the question "what do you like on pizza". Used to be I
could say "anything except green olives or dead fish". Now it would
take 10 minutes and I'd probably forget or not know about many of the
things people have put on pizza. So it's a very useful short-hand to
say "only actual pizza ingredients, no green olives or dead fish".

(The joke is partly a reference to Germany's Reinheitsgebot, and a local
ad campaign by a regional brewer that talked about "real beer
ingredients".)

I grow chard because it likes the weather here and survives on
neglect. It goes well in bean soups, so it's a good winter vegetable
to have around.

Lucky you! I used to know morel hunters but even though we were good
friends, we weren't good enough friends for me to score any and they
certainly weren't going to tell me where they found them.

I rarely eat pizza but about two years ago I one of the best slices I

Funny you should say that. One of my favorite homemade pizzas feature
broccoli as the main topping. Everyone seems to like it.....I do too.

May I suggest you stop being cheap at least for one meal. Whenever I order
pizza, one of my very favorite pizzas is a two topping and those are onions
and mushrooms. A distinctly different taste but I sure love it.

The best "restaurant" in Italy is some grandmother's house. The restaurants

Potatoes and pizza dough sounds like a lot of starch.
