        Reading the linked article, that guy’s claims are not widely accepted. As they should not be - the idea that nobody put meats and sauces on flatbread until the 1950s or whatever is completely absurd. For one, archaeologists found a pizza-like dish in the ruins of Pompeii.

            “His remarks were met with a significant amount of criticism and protests by historians, politicians, the Italian media, Italian chefs, food critics, as well as food professionals.”

            I believe these claims as much as I believe that the someone named Ignacio in the 50s was the first person ever to put meat and cheese on topped of chopped up fried tostadas.

            The pasta thing, fine. I’ve heard of the origin as China as well. So Italians started making pasta 900 years ago. That’s way more believable than that any really obvious food was created 60 years ago.

            Okay, what is it you think constitutes a pizza? The article you lined mentions ‘the sauce’, though that seems far-fetched that nobody had put tomato sauce and cheese on flatbread before. That isn’t mandatory for pizza, though. White sauces and garlic sauces are also often used to make a pizza.

      lol, no. This type of cursed pizza could easily be in Brazil. No country’s food is safe here. Not that it’s normal here, but I’ve seen plenty of weird pizzas

      It’s not even remotely normal to do that in the US. On top of a Bloody Mary though, sure.

    Isn’t/wasn’t there a chocolate and m&m pizza as a type of Lunchable? I could swear I remember them from middle school.

    I was right and this is just a giant, adult version of standard educational fare nobody would bat an eye at. What the fuck are we doing.

    That’s either a giant olive or a grape, btw, and either one of those is not acceptable.

    You identify as a rich and out of touch weirdo who likes to think of himself as doing good but in reality is psychopathic enough to see loss of human life as barely more than an inconvenience?

        I like the fan fiction that Charlie is actually Wilford in the show Snow Piercer. I haven’t seen the show, but reading the fan theory is awesome. I think the gist is Charlie uses his factory money to build the train scheme and changes is name to Wilford as homage to Willy.
