1. 1. Pizza Toppings Under the To Sun Did you know that pizza is one of the most popular foods in the world? Each day, there are thousands of slices eaten in the United States alone. Instead of thinking that the best way to enjoy a few slices is to get the traditional toppings like pepperoni and cheese, consider trying some other toppings and expand your repertoire of Italian pie. No matter where you are in the world, there will be a preference for different pizza toppings. While most people think that by adding spinach to their slice is really shaking things up a bit, they need to understand that there are some really strange food items that are being used as toppings, all around the world. If you find it hard to believe that someone would prefer to eat their slices with or without cheese and pepperoni, then it is time for you to start expanding your knowledge of different cultures. A perfect example of weird toppings comes from the Japanese culture. Did you know that one of their most popular toppings is made with hot dogs as a part of the crust? You would assume that the hot dogs are chopped up before they are placed on top, but they are not. They are cut into shorter pieces and rolled into the outer edge of the crust. In the center, there are hamburger toppings, bacon, garlic and more. Plus this dish comes with a side serving of ketchup and maple syrup for sauce. Frying an egg and placing on top of an all cheese pizza is a very popular and tasty way to eat this dish. While it may not look very appealing, it is very tasty and is thoroughly enjoyed all over the world. You could choose to have the egg fried hard, or do like most people and have the egg cooked until the yolk is lightly set. Once you take a bite into a slice, the running yolk acts as a sauce and adds a lot more flavor to the dish. If you have a penchant for seafood, one style of this dish that may blow your mind and excite your tastes buds is one that has squid ink. While it may not look very appealing, it is rumored to be very tasty. Many people, who enjoy this style of pizza, tend to have their favorite seafood toppings added to it and they use the squid ink as a sauce that goes right on top, to complete the dish. If you have already eaten something for lunch or dinner, you may be in the mood for a dessert. Pizza doesn't always have to be a savory dish. There are some desserts that are in the style of Italian pie, and instead of dough with tomato sauce and cheese, cream and fruit are the topping. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what you like to have for your toppings, as long as you enjoy eating them.
