Big Americans Pizza

[stormdog]

I took the "Big Americans" brand supreme pizza out of the freezer and set it on the counter. I unwrapped it.

"Uhh...there's corn on this pizza." I said to Danae.

"Corn is a new world vegetable," she rightly observed. She also noted that this isn't the first pizza she's seen that suggests that folks here have odd ideas about what makes American style pizzas.

Watch out for kidney beans, blueberries and peanuts on your American pizza!

I find it interesting that they're using "American" pizza as a selling point as opposed to Italian. Those crazy Dutch!

But then USians have extremely odd ideas about pizza too (says she with the Italian ancestry) :o)

I mean- pineapple? Shrimp? Oh per-lease!

Wow. Well, peanuts I could get behind...

It's interesting what foods advertisers connect to what countries. McKennedy sells maple syrup that is clearly promoted as Canadian. It also has US-style stars and stripes on the label, because McKennedy sells "American" foods. That one's a real head-scratcher... My Canadian partner was amused and horrified.

I will not eat pizza with pineapple. But I don't like pineapple anyway; texture thing.

Shrimp... I don't know about that. I'd try it I guess, but it doesn't seem like pizza!
