The Food Canon

I dread pizza.
I love pizza.

I dread the ones which come on a thick bread with sourish tomato paste. The thick leftover side crust is hardest to finish. And after downing all that cheese, you feel "jelak" as the Malays will say. I have negative memories of pizzas from a chain (which shall not be named), as I have always see them as convenient food for children who do not know any better. And on nights when there was no dinner, they became phoned-in meals. Dread.
