Pizza

Pizza, whoever designed this was a genius. You have a delicious food that includes your grains, your vegetables, meats, and dairy all in one tasty easy to eat package that you can hold in your hand. Pizza has to be one of my favorite foods due to its overall appeal. The aroma, the flavor and the look some how just has a delicious factor. I've eaten really bad pizza just because it was still pizza. You would think the sauce would make the dough soggy, but it warms up and compliments it nicely. I'm guessing the heating process thickens the sauce by causing moisture to evaporate. And that steam probably rises to melt, but not burn, the cheese. Brilliant. I read that pizza originated from the Greeks who used to rub oils and herbs on their bread. Then a small town in Sicily, Italy, had a shop that put tomatoes on top of their bread, later in 1889 adding cheese, then creating the modern day pizza.
