Breakfast pizza? Am I allowed to say "yuck"?

Pizza is best for breakfast, reheated or not, according to local custom.

Heh, my kids eat it right out of the refrigerator and
unheated for breakfast... (yep, stone cold) but that doesn't
change my mind about the "yuck" factor of a breakfast pizza.

OTOH, I love breakfast burritos.

I totally forgot I had pizza in the fridge this morning, so had bacon
and eggs instead. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Not for breakfast, but most independent pizza places over here have been
selling pizza with bacon and egg on it for many years. Often dubbed an
Australian or Aussie.

Heh. In NZ it's known as a Kiwi.

For example, one of the places in Penrith - Ronnies -
has an Australian - cheese, tomato, bacon & egg. PePe's at the local shops
has a Mt Pleasant Special - cheese, tomato, ham, cabanossi, bacon, egg.

That sounds pretty damn good to me.

Sounds similar to our Southern accent. When they want

Yes? And the problem with this is...?

Uhm, nothing I'd call a problem. It's just difficult to search for recipes
based on a name that you've only ever heard said by someone with a strong
dialect. Which was the point being made because someone didn't know what
sort of pasta to look for because he only ever heard a Sicilian say the
particular pasta, not write it.

Actually, I was referring to the way we Southerner's pronounce the
word "pen" which was in jest lest someone be quick to take offense.

Strong dialects and local names do make for interesting times in
trying to research something on the internet.

But it's also part of the fun. I *like* a bit of flavor to the
language.

Maybe you can help me with a joke that I heard a while ago. I have
the punchline, but have forgotten the details. It goes something like
this:

A Northerner driving through the South stops at a roadside diner for
lunch. He sits in a booth and notices a couple of big guys watching
him. His order comes and soon one of the guys gets up and walks over
to his table and says "Are you just passing through?" The diner says
"Yes, what's it to you?" The big guy says "Ah'm the chef." The diner
says, "Oh. This burger is great." The big guy drawls "Noooo, Ah'm
not the cook, Ah'm the chef." Diner: "Oh, the chef. Well, this is a
nice diner and I'm enjoying my meal, thank you." At this point the
big guy was turning red in the face: "Ah'm not the chef, Ah'm the
CHEF! THE CHEF! S-H-E-R-I-F-F. CHEF! An' if you don't straighten
out you're going to be in trouble!"

Have you heard it before? Is that about right?
