[quote=BARONTWANGLE,322066]Yinduffy. The cheese used on real pizza is mozzerella and does not sweat (Unless it is the cheap American stringy version with lots of additives, and preservatives). I can name many other cheeses which will not sweat, bit none will be made in the US. You are right about pineapple not being an authentic pizza topping. If you went to Italy and asked for pineapple to be put on your pizza, you would be chased out of the country by a large chef with a rolling pin. Onion does exist as a topping, but there are many American toppings which have and never will appear on an Italian menu. Also, you will rarely find more than 2 toppings used on an authentic pizza (in addition to the basic Margherita which is tomato, herbs, and mozzerella) as this confuses the delicate taste. However, in "Consumer America" where everyone wants as much as they can get, they have to put about 15 toppings on the damn thing before anyone is interested. The result however is that they all taste the same. Try ordering a custom pizza with only 1 or 2 toppings next time. You will get strange looks from the staff, but I guarantee it will taste better. Another big difference in making authentic pizza is the way it is cooked. A wood fired stove is the proper way, but due to environmental reasons, these are becoming less common in Italy now. Anyway, another famous Italian food did come from China. Marco Polo missed the noodles, so he had some Italian chefs make then for him in Italy. These are now know as Spaghetti. [/quote]
