Hawaiian style pizza

People in Hawaii don't actually eat this style of pizza. It got its name from the pineapple topping. Someone thought, "hey, that's Hawaiian." The local cuisine in Hawaii is so diverse with many Asian influences that pizza is not a favorite food.

Nice Chick - Pea

 It is easy to see why so many vegetarians gravitate to Indian cuisine. Chick Peas (Garbanzo) are an excellent source of protein and very good when heavily spiced.

 The potatoes look suspiciously like McDonald's Hash Browns. Is a Full English Breakfast now served at Mickey D's? Our favorite place in London serves a better breakfast.

Puff the magic taco

... is oozing melted cheese. A fried flour tortilla is so decadent, but also delicious.

is the plate edible?

I love spicy pork dumplings. The problem is what to drink with them. We prefer a sparkling wine like a Spanish Cava. A nice glass of Chabernet with Chinese Food.

The Basil was not burned

How did they avoid turning that Basil black? I hope they didn't under-cook the pizza. When I ordered this style of pizza in Naples, they cooked the pizza, took it out and added basil, then back in the oven for a few seconds. Best Pizza Margherita we ever ate was in Naples, Italy.



I like this along with a classic Caesar Salad:

Thought that said Breakfast Wine

 I'm not sure what a tonic wine is. In the old days, almost all wine was considered medicinal and was flavored with botanicals. Vermouth is a good example. The breakfast buffets in the better hotels in Europe will have wine on the sideboard - both sparkling and still. Make mine a Chabernet.

 The surprise is an egg yolk, perfectly cooked inside the ravioli. The brown butter sauce is flavored with bacon and sage.

Cocktail with attitude

This is an Amber Dream. I said "attitude" because the image looks off kilter like it could use a good gyroscope. The clear liquid is dry vermouth, more than most people would pour, and the amber is Chartreuse.
