Well, I don't know whether I would like it. Is it usually paired
with ham??? Now this exchange makes me a bit curious. I wonder
whether I can find a slice somewhere? I doubt I want to shell out
for a whole pizza.

Several weeks ago on the MD Capitol Beltway, the DOT pretreated with
some chemical that actually caused it to freeze. There was no
precipitation but once the temps dropped low enough, it froze and caused
multiple accidents until the DOT figured out they used the wrong
chemical, shut down the Beltway and treated with the *right* chemical.
It was on a Friday, and I work at home Fridays, so I missed all the
broohaha luckily.

I never order it either, but once or twice a year, I have a slice if I'm at
the pizza shop at the medical center. Once slice and I'm good for another 6
to 12 months.

I got my mother a pair of Yaktrax so I know they come in
different sizes. She's the teeniest person, I never did ask
if extra small stayed on her shoes.

You're the one that said that he was ****ed and that you had words as he

I've re-read you post and it's obvious that you were merely trying to
help the old guy complete his transaction because the check-out boy was
being a dick and wouldn't let the poor guy leave. To give him a graceful
way out, you suggested that he move it under the pretense that you were
getting impatient. The grateful old guy played along and made believe
that he was angry and left in a huff. I'll bet all the other guys in
line shook your hand and commended you on your fast thinking. Before
leaving, you chastised the check-out guy and told him that he should
treat old folks with a little more respect. That punk! Thanks Andy - the
geriatric community owes you it's everlasting gratitude. You'll always
be our hero!

Arizona Pizza makes a wood fired 'Hawaiian Pizza' with prosciutto and
pineapple. If the bacon/spinach/red pepper one wasn't so good we'd
have Hawaiian more often.

I think most pizzas are ghastly. It certainly isn't my food of choice but
sometimes there isn't any option - it's that or KFC or McDonalds. None of
those choices are real food choices TMWOT but they fill a hole.

Yes. That is the classic Hawaian. But my advice would be not to bother
unless you are going to make it yourself and can buy decent and real ham
rather than the synthesised crud the commercial suppliers put on their
pizzas.

I understand from reading this group that Hawaii has joined Slow Food,
so perhaps some sort of "heritage pineapple" is a possibility.

LOL. Yes. There is a relatively new place in the next town that
has thin crust pizzas though. My second mother made that type
(from scratch), so I want to try at least one slice there.

And there is a frozen pizza here that I really like. It has no
cheese--just veggies (onion, mushroom, red pepper, artichoke--that
is all I remember) with a small amount of ?balsamic-vinegar-based?
sauce. Not enough to even be considered to be a sauce.

For that matter, my daughter started making pizza crusts when she
was ?4? or so. I tell her she can do the crust and I can do the
rest. We make a good team for some things.

Don't bother unless you make your own crust too.

I don't particularly like pineapple on pizza, although I'll eat it.
Perhaps that is partly because it's always been canned, and I'm not such
a big fan of canned pineapple anyway.

The weird pizza ingredients I've heard about, but never tried, are
canned tuna, canned corn and canned baked beans. Have you ever tried
any of those?

Calcium chloride does a lot more damage to pavement... and you don't
want to walk it into your home, it will ruin your flooring... salt is
bad enough but calcium chloride is many times worse.

....good for the cashier - it would have been a perfect scene, if the
intruder had been talking on her cell phone. LOL.

That combination sounds good! I would try prosciutto. It would
probably be fantastic with fresh pineapple. What goes between the
crust and the toppings?

Do you ever make pizza yourself?

Just looked at the Arizona Pizza web site. I thought it was frozen
pizza, but it's a chain. White pizza, huh? Never had one.

Most times, that stuff isn't even real ham but Canadian bacon. As an
expert in some things Hawaiian, Spam would be more fitting for a
Hawaiian-type anything than something from Canada. That's the breaks. :-)

Yes, please save and refer to it often, it's a good lesson for people
that don't want to find themselves in this awful predicament I've fallen
into. :-)

Any "Hawaiian" pizza I have had here in Canada had ham and pineapple.
"Canadian Bacon" is all but unheard of here. Peameal or "back bacon" is
common. The stuff that that I saw sold as Canadian bacon was smoked.

This is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. I can promise that this
will surely come to a bad end. :-)
