Those who ate pizza at least once a week had less chance of developing cancer, they found.

If they can do good dough, sauce and use good cheese and anchovies, the rest will be good too. If they can't get the simple stuff right, the fancy toppings are just disguise.

This is because pizza is wholly made up of

Cheese (Good source of protien and calcium)
Tomato sauce (Beta carontene and antioxidants)
Flour/Meat (Thiamin and other b vitamins)

I can just throw a "study" out there that those who eat pizza and follow a controlled calorie diet not only will lose weight, but have better blood preassure, a reduced risk of heart disease, and better cardiovascular health.

Now where the bugger is my paycheck?

Problem with these nutrition studies is they never bring clarity to the relationships of the instances of certain diseases and certain foods. There's probably some ingredient in pizza that does a whole lot of good (like tomato) but there's also a bunch of stuff that is garbage and you shouldn't be putting into your body at all (like refined flour) that does a whole lot of bad in other areas. I've really just started ignoring the press when they report on nutritional studies.

Pizza is great and I enjoy all forms of it, including the fast food varieties. Armenian "pizza", lahmacun, is delicious too.

I think it was "Reality Bites"...that's the movie where she wants to be a writer and an editor asks her to define Irony....she can't.

[assuming the question had no answer at all]
Lelaina: Can you define "irony"?
Troy Dyer: It's when the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning.

Pizza in Rome for example bears no resemblance to your typical pizza from a take-away shop in suburban Australia.

The active ingredient (it's an antioxidant too) in tomatoes is the carotene "lycopene" which gives them their bright red colour, and if you have a teaspoon of tomato paste every day, it reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men.

I'm tired of broccoli journalism also, and think so long as we enjoy a sensible varied and nutritious diet and wash it all down with a daily supplement or two, hey, we cant go wrong!

btw, the above Lahmacun looks better than mine even....stunning!

Thaks for that, I now have a craving for it after having had a rather ordinary dinner tonight.

ho-hum... So will have Lahmacun tomorrow night I think.

.. Sometimes I cheat and make mine on leb-bread, but they are always better when you use the right base.

I would give anything to have a real wood pizza oven in my own back yard.

Also, is that a traditional Lahmacun, the base looks rather thick, different to the Lahmacun bases I have made, bought.

Or is that an Armenian pizza?

Either way, it looks stunning!

I eat mine with parsley, slices of white radish , chilly and fresh tomato slices, sprinkled generously with lemon juice.

I roll mine up with the crispy salad inside.

What's the Turkish or Armenian word for Bellissimo?
