That's an incredibly American take IMO. Pizza is loved worldwide... Caesar salad?! Where are the famous Caesar salad global chains? I don't think it's much of a thing in Europe, at least.
- jbaber 1y agoMaybe not margheritta pizza. But every culture that makes bread has a flatbread with topping and spices popped in the oven dish.
- whycome 1y agoOkay then every culture eats some leaves with spices mixed in.
- Bluestein 1y ago(In fact I believe it was archaeologically found to exist in some or another form for the longest time ...)
- jajko 1y agoDefinitely not every culture, far from it. You should probably actually travel a bit more.
- skyyler 1y agoThat was clearly a generalisation. Since you’ve travelled enough to have a greater understanding, could you share with us your knowledge of a culture that makes flatbread but doesn’t put stuff on top of it? Where is that culture? What is their flatbread called?
- justsomehnguy 1y ago> of a culture that makes flatbread but doesn’t put stuff on top of it Imeretian (Imeruli) khachapuri Because it's in it, heh! And BTW adjarian khachapuri is technically a pizza too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khachapuri#Types https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khachapuri#Types https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%92%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%81%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B3%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%85%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%D0%BF%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B8.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%92%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%81%...
- IAmBroom 1y agoSo, stuffed pizza.
- justsomehnguy 1y agoWell, yes. Though there are also a lavash, a georgian lavash and pita. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavash https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavash
- spacechild1 1y agoYeah, I don't think I have eaten a single Caesar Salad in my whole life.
- fracus 1y agoYou are missing out.
- spacechild1 1y agoMaybe, but it simply isn't a thing here. I think the only time I've seen it is in McDonald's. I literally had to google it because I only heard the name but didn't know what it was.
- IAmBroom 1y agoHeh, McDonald's Caesar salad. I ordered it, and the cashierist asked, "What kind of dressing would you like with your Caesar's?" After she clarified that I could be /any/ dressing, I asked what made it a "Caesar salad". She cheerfully replied, "The Romain lettuce."
- iamben 1y agoI don't think that was the point the comment was trying to make. Like - it's easy to stand on a street corner and eat a slice of pizza (or grab one and run!), it's much harder to eat dressed leaves. I read their point as being: the first time you try pizza you're like "this is delicious and amazing." The first time you try Caesar salad it lights you up in the same magical way. I could be wrong of course - but that definitely fits my own experience. The first time I had a chicken CS as a kid in a restaurant, it was all I wanted to eat every time we went out for months afterwards. I genuinely couldn't believe 'salad' could be so delicious.
- sleepyguy 1y agoHave one almost every day from Tesco in Prague. Sometimes they sell out before I can get one. Where do you live?
- saaaaaam 1y ago“Europe” is a big place. In my experience Caesar salads are very common in London, in the South of France, in Italy and in Greece.
- fracus 1y agoI'm Canadian. And yes, it was about people who live in places where pizza and caesar salad are ubiquitous.
