Pizza. Pork. What else can a guy ask for?

Jenise,

I love you. You know I love you. I even love brussels sprouts. But brussels sprouts on pizza? I think I would prefer the bacterium that cause bubonic plague. At least there is a cure these days for bubonic plague.

Well, she did say she'd been stunned by the pizza, so you can't really hold her to any statements made about impressions formed while in a stunned state....and she was apparently talking about some sort of antipasto use of the dreaded mini-cabbage, not inclusion on a pizza per se.

Rogov, dear, those brussels sprouts aren't on the pizza, they're one of the antipasti. Not that I wouldn't put brussels sprouts on a pizza--Nancy puts broccoli on one of hers, which sounds equally unintuitive, but in fact it's wonderful.

Indeed, as part of an antipasti brussels sprouts can be a marvel!!!! Butr please do tell Nancy that I will never love her because she puts them on her pizza.

Best

Wine by the quarto!

I like that concept, but it's hardly unique to Otto. A few cool places around here, including one Italian favorite that just closed <sobbing, and blaming Dubya's economy> do similar service, although they don't call it "quarto."

Now that I think of it, I know one other Italian place that does it, and one French place here (Cafe Loup... you know it) sells wine by the pichet. But most places do glasses or bottles; hipper places have 375ml's.
