Do Not Recommend 1

Today at university, I was starving. I went into the refectory and I got a piece of wholemeal bread and I put caesar dressing on it and some hot chilli sauce and I jammed it all into my mouth. Sauce went all over my hands and around my mouth; the bread was hard to eat and not very tastey. I tried to kid myself that it was borne out of some starving necessity, but I think I just wanted to seem cool and desperate. After I did this and tried to swallow it down, I went and bought some noodles in the container that you put the hot water over, which were pretty tastey, but jammed with MSG. The noodles satisfied me and they came with soup as well.

pizza life

Theo's Holiday Special

pepperoni, bacon, pineapple, chilli, cheese/tomato base (no derr)

i think in this, the most important aspect is how the flavours behave around one another and how this is an analogy for the euphoria of finishing uni for the semester and the promise of a month's holiday.

when one bites into a slice of this delicious pizza, the first thing you hope you get is a nice lil combo of pineapple, chilli and bacon. you wanna hit that shit, lil bit of piney juice coming out. many people try to get up in arms about orthodoxy in food, especially things like pizza. at the shop, i always get these jerks. the point is, pineapple is a classic ingredient. pizza's a fucken fast food, noone cares.

anyway, pizza as an allegory for holidays.

the pineapple represents a hopeful and warm time. it's quite summery in the face of winter and even when put through a 200 degree oven retains a juicy friendliness

the bacon represents our current times; that is, swineflu

the chilli's spiciness is the promise of an adventerous holiday

the pepperoni is just cos i love pepperoni, maybe it's the placement of t. landon IN the holidays.

the base/cheese/tomato don't count, they're on every pizza.
