Pity I live in Darwin..... Much too far to drive, too expensive to fly.

mihcael · 09 September 2008, 05:53

Thats too bad Jabsy, Except for the Weather, the fishing, the lifestyle and the scenary it must be a bit of a drag living so far away from everything!

Nows the time for everyone to show their interest!!

Even worse is Thats Aussie Pizza too, none of that Italian (im sorry to say) rubbish you call pizza!!!

MazinKaesar · 09 September 2008, 16:51

Hei man! We invented the pizza! Did you ever try a real Italian pizza? I mean, a pizza made HERE in Italy? Expecially, here in Sicily? Or did you try the rubbish made by one some so-called Italian restaurants you can find anywhere in the world, restaurants where there is nothing of Italian exctept the name (usually, Mario's

).

I preferred the Pizza in Korea

I think our Pizza over here is too oily, has way too much of processed shredded ham crap, and half the pizza is crust and fatty heart clogging death! .. lol... Korean pizza looked healthy, tasted healthy and was healthier

Sorry my friend, i give our pizza the thumbs down

T_hairy_bootson · 10 September 2008, 13:33

Especially pizza haven crap like we had at last years convention, pre frozen bases and made by some pimply teenager... ergghh.

mihcael · 10 September 2008, 13:49

Yeah, they really should have pimply adults to cook those things!!

and I try to avoid the chain pizza places unless im poor!!

MazinKaesar · 10 September 2008, 17:43

Uhm... I think everyone of us likes the food of his homeland more than others

mihcael · 11 September 2008, 02:09

I totally agree!! But i do appreciate good food and loved everything i ate in france!!

I was only having a crack and did not mean to offend!

gizmomelb · 11 September 2008, 06:11
