Hi Pete and all,
Since pizza is Italian for pie you can expect my twisted humor to show
up. As for Pompei, they were just learning how to make pizza and Guiseppe
put a little too much coal on the fire, made an ash of himself and the
rest is history. Herculenium suffered the same fate a few hours earlier
but Guiseppi didn't get the news in time, he was a Marconi but radio was
many generations away.
Ah yes the Arabs, they were the science wizards of the day and came up
with technological marvels, include ships and navigation aids and they
traded with the entire known world. Somehow Hebrews got overlooked
although they were in the thick of it trading with everybody from England
to South Africa.
"Why the Greeks and Italians don't speak LAtin is besides me."
Take the Greeks first, their civilization predates Rome so by the time
the empire came about many Romans spoke Greek, not the other way round.
Now what do you mean the Italians don't speak Latin? Italian is a ROMANce
language and the closest to the original Latin.
Hmmm, I too remember Chinese and pizza in the late '50s and I liked pizza
much more. The OM knew his pizza probably from a 2 year stay during the
war in Napoli where he learned to speak Italian and Napolitan like a
native. Anyway, those were the days before the local Mafia monopoly when
each had a separate and distinct recipe, now everything comes from a
distributor and pizza is all the same in any given area. Chinese is a
different story, once you find a place that doesn't serve slop stick with
it. Back to the '50s, since I got dragged around given no choice it was
the same place downtown and the same ho-hum Chow Mein and Chop Suey every
time. I still remember the waiter's chuckle when I asked about moo goo
gai paan and he pronounced it moo goo gai pan. I ended up with Chow Mein.
Now if I could find a place down here that makes ng lao fung gai fan like
Chu did back in Elizabeth I'd be there with bells on! Somehow the Chinese
around here don't speak Chinese, they just look at me funny.
