Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I weep for poor Trudy and her benighted pizza ingredient ways that will forever bar her from enjoying a Greek pizza with feta cheese, spinach, garlic, and artichokes. (And kalamata olives, but those would be OK according to the pathetically sparse ingredient list above).
I would very much enjoy such a dish, but I would refuse to acknowledge it as pizza.
Is Jilli around?
appears in a cloud of bats and glitter
Yes? What do you need?

Bats and glitter!
hey Jilli - if you catch this... I saw the gothlings article in the Inquirer and a banner for the Gravedigger's ball at Laurel Hill within about a day of each other (thx to Sparky, sharpeyed cousin). Laurel Hill has a darn fine site, as far as cemeteries go. I didn't know if you'd seen it - [link] they bill themselves as the underground museum.
definitely best fairygothmother ever.
Not. A. Texan. However...ick! beans!
I like garlic on my pizza, thin crust with tomatoes and goat cheese.
Bats and glitter!
Well, that's handy then. throws more bat confetti around
Oooh, thank you for pointing that out to me, Sox. I hadn't seen the banner for the Gravedigger's Ball. Dear Seattle, why don't we have more nifty events like that?
That sounds great, Matt.
I have no dog in the thin crust/thick crust fight; I'll take either one, as long as said crusts are not themselves stuffed with cheese or some such nonsense.
And I'm extremely hesitant to label anything off-limits as a pizza topping -- when I was in Italy lo these many decades ago (sniff), the only constant connecting all the pizzas I saw from Florence to Venice to Rome to the little waterfront bakeries in Brindisi near the ferry to Greece was that the stuff on top was sitting on top of some kind of bready crust. Sometimes thick, sometimes thin, but always a bready crust, topped with stuff that was savory, tasty and local. Which meant that I saw everything from mozzarella and fresh tomatoes and red onions to calamari (tentacles included) and roasted peppers to straw mushrooms, potatoes and the sausagey remnants of local piggies.
If you push me good and hard, I'd say that legumes probably don't belong on pizza, especially if they're refried, and carrots will make me frown a scrunch-faced frown. Also, that something that's really an entire other meal thrown on top of a pizza crust may call itself a pizza if it wants, but it's kind of sad. Beyond that, I'm a pizza polytheist.
minced garlic is a perfectly acceptable pizza topping.
