I love food. Food is so great. There's nothing like eating something that tastes great and is good for you. My favorite kind of food is definitely pizza. I enjoy variety in all things, so variety in food is a big deal for me. Pizza offers many different kinds of variety for me. There are various breads, meats, cheeses and veggies for one to choose from in order to make that perfect pizza combination. Not only is there much variety for what your pizza contains, but there are various restaurants and chains that offer different styles and types of pizza. I enjoy partaking of pizza that is not always the same and that is made differently. Pizza has originated from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures starting in about the tenth century. Pizza was considered a dish of the poor and was not considered to be a kitchen recipe for many years. The ingredients for pizza have evolved over the many centuries, mostly changing when it was brought to America.
I can't remember when the first time I had pizza was, but it must have been sweet. My first taste of it was probably a big turning point in my life, due to the fact that I used to be a very picky eater. Pizza opened doors for me. A nice hot slice of cheesy, spicy pizza sounds good right now. This dish probably made me be more willing to try other foods throughout my childhood. In trying other foods I might discover something new for my taste buds that could possibly be just as good as pizza.
I found some major improvements from my first writing to this revised one. It is amazing how many little errors I noticed. Second drafts are wonderful and make a huge difference. This is why I enjoy the peer reviews that we do in class. I moved so many sentences around in my first draft to make this post make more sense. I moved my history of pizza part around a couple of times trying to make it fit in the best place in conjunction with my more personal stories with pizza.
I love how you started out this post. Food really is amazing; one of the greatest gifts if you ask me. I'm half Polynesian (Tongan) and we eat a lot of food all the time. The saying my grandmother always uses is 'we don't eat till we're full, we eat till we're too tired to eat anymore!' I live by that 100%.
ReplyDeleteI second the comment "second drafts are wonderful and make a huge difference." Seriously, sometimes all it takes is a reread!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think it's interesting that you focused on the variety that pizza offers and how it made you more willing to try other foods; many people think that pizza is a boring food that's always the same, but you're right that there are a lot of varieties out there.
I love love pizza. I stayed with an Italian family in new york for a few weeks and they made the best pizza on earth. It really is amazing how many different kind of pizzas people can come up with.
ReplyDeleteI also like the versatility of pizza. I like making my own pizza with crust, pizza sauce, and veggies (no cheese). I like eating the veggies without cheese for texture reasons. It's nice 'cause I can put whatever I want on it. I do also love the variety of chains. Sadly, I have been denied of that freedom as there is only freschetta at the cafteria and on campus, so my love of pizza has waned with tedium, to be revived later with a Dominos pizza, etc. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI also love pizza. You're right about how many different kinds there are, the different ways it is made. This is what makes pizza so good, there are always other kinds to try.
ReplyDeleteJudging that I am Italian i think i HAVE to love pizza! Anything with bread is amazing and I can probably eat like four pieces of pizza in one sitting!
ReplyDeleteMy whole comment just got erased! Basically, interesting history. Pizza definitely is really versatile. Once when I was in Sweden we had pizza with thinly sliced roast beef and bananas on it!
