Montalban's, naturally.

As for the "toast with tomato sauce on it" rejoinder, I will refer you to Manuel Vazquez Montalban chapter in Immoral Recipes on the subject of tomatoes on bread, unquestionably the food of the gods.

Perhaps that really is the genuine thing, but how proud can you really get about inventing toast with tomato sauce on it?
Permission to treat this witness as hostile, your honour.
Really, I don't know where you ate pizza in Rome, although I will say that in this one place in Florence I ate a pizza that was probably inferior to Pizza Hut's, but you'd be the first person I've ever come across that comes back from Italy and reckons 'our pizza is better'. Nothing wrong with that, of course, to each their own etc.

Mr English showed signs of frustration yesterday.
Poor dear.

I bled once.
Did I lead?
Did I bollocks.
I come to PAS for my average daily intake of poetry these days.

Giovanni - you put the broth in brother!
May your tapas come with pasta
and your spaghetti turn to page hitts...You've forced my hand! Here's some horrible self-linkage then: this was cross-posted on Speaker last year but I updated it last week with pictures of the ancestral broth, so you might as well get a second serving. Whereas this I've been wanting to mention with regard to class and food - especially the beginning on the subject of my great-grandmother's duck scheme.

And that's how our Swiss exchange student came to NZ armed with fears of being served something called "Watties' Spaghetti".
And again, I'd have to say Wattie's spaghetti in a can at least doesn't pretend to be gourmet, unlike the risottos and the pastas you get served in your average NZ restaurant. I'll take the former over the latter.
Amy, Ian - I love you both very much.

Okay, here's the actual recipe. Clearly my subconscious is trying to sabotage the whole thing.

I'm not saying it would taste as bad, I just find it more offensive.
Here's the recipe, if you can call it that. Everything's premade, including the fabulously named Wattie’s Just Add Cottage Pie Simmer Sauce.

Proposal for entertainment at next PAS gathering: put Giovanni in a room and force him to watch as someone prepares a Genuine Kiwi Pizza c.1980.
Do it to Julia! Er, I mean, to Brickley. Seriously, though, what have I done? (And besides, I'm rather more horrified by last night's food in a minute cannelloni than by all the tinned spaghetti in the world.)
