Chef’s Note: One of the most important and enduring debates in modern culinary culture is the question of proper pizza toppings. Some people even believe all pizza toppings to be questionable.
I’ve noted before that as a scholar, I try to maintain a certain sense of objectivity through taking a descriptive rather than prescriptive approach to my subject matter. But I am a human being so I, of course, have my own personal list of pizza topping crimes. And I now, thanks to Harley, have several new items and combinations to add to it.
Chef’s Note: Harley may be crazy but she’s also quite correct- anchovies are high in calcium and Vitamin D. Fun fact: they can also cause permanent short-term memory loss, brain damage, and death! Sounds right up Harley’s alley.
Chef’s Note: There’s a bit of location confusion or some kind of dimensional intersection occurring here – not sure which? When Harley parachutes in, she does so into a food court featuring one Pizza Kingdom. The menu of Special Pizzas, though, appears to be on a website for Rupert’s Pizzeria, a favorite among young anthropomorphic turtles. Jimmy? Amanda? Which is it?
Chef’s Note: Happy National Pizza Party Day!
