I'm bored and hungry.

The best and worst pizza toppings. Discuss.

[Just a little shitstirring while he waits for the pizza he ordered to arrive.]

[ Oh boy, let her tell him about that good bread! ]

They do. Some places even make the crust into little cheesy bites for an extra charge. You should try it sometime.

It's become really popular to flavor the crust, too. Garlic herb, butter, butter cheese, and ranch are a few options for that kind of thing off the top of my head.

[zunge]

Those sure are different. They don't do a whole lot of that where I was living before.

[chichichi]

So you've lived with nothing but the regular crust and topping choices? No variation whatsoever?

[zunge]

No. Japan gets very creative with toppings and sauces. Just not the crust.

[Not on the Japanese island he was living on, at any rate.]

[chichichi]

I make my home in Tokyo these days, so I know a thing or two about that. A lot of the replies about toppings here look pretty tame to me.

The shop I frequent is pretty eclectic for the area. I think it's intentional, though. Might as well capitalize on the local tastes and appeal to the tourists.

Can I ask what area you're from?

[zunge]

Midorijima. A tiny-ass island to the southwest. The one where Toue built Platinum Jail.

[Noiz isn't aware that Midorijima may not necessarily exist in other versions of Earth. If someone doesn't recognize Platinum Jail, he'll just assume they're from before it was built.]

[chichichi]

I'm unfamiliar. I suppose that's a portion of the price for not traveling as often as I used to.

[ She might ask her contacts when she gets home about it, though. ]

What're your topping preferences if you don't mind my asking? You opened the floor for discussion, so it's only fair.

[zunge]

Best: onion, mushroom, spinach, bell pepper, pepperoni, bacon, seafood, multi-cheese blends, chicken teriyaki.

Worst: anchovies, hot spicy anything.

[chichichi]

Not bad. I'm fond of pepperoni, pineapple, and seafood on pizza myself. Sakura ebi, especially. Shirako has no business on top of pizza in my opinion.

[zunge]

Shirako?

[chichichi]

Fish sperm or milt, whichever you'd like to call it.

[zunge]

Huh. Didn't know people ate that.

[chichichi]

It's an acquired taste even back home. People will eat the most unusual things. Charge a pretty price for them, too, in some cases.
