Hopefully not including long-pork.

Let me guess, you're a vegetarian?

Me, or ucblockhead?

I'm not... I was just being snarky about a particular choice of words in an ad. Really, that's what they said: that the meat lover's pizza has "practically every meat on the planet." So either they think that there's no meats other than cows, pigs, and maybe chickens, or their ingredients are a lot scarier than most people would be comfortable eating. (Of course, even ordinary sausage is full of the parts of animals which most Americans would rather not know about.)

That must be some funky sausage.

Even Americans who avoid foreign food can pick up quite a lot of diverse meats at the supermarket, like tuna, turkey, salmon, lobster, crab, shrimp, duck, goose, buffalo, ostrich. Wouldn't be farfetched to find them eating pheasant, venison, and rabbit either. (Even Pizza Hut itself offers two additional meat toppings--chicken and anchovy--besides the cow and pig on their Meat Lover's Pizza.) All that without getting into anything exotic like mongoose.

On SomethingAwful.com, there's an interesting piece about the unappetizing things done to pizza around the world, including an anecdote about buying a Pizza Hut pizza in Japan with tuna, mayo, corn, and tomato sauce. The photo of a black Squid Ink Pizza (reproduced from The Web's First Japanese Pizza Page) seems like a good candidate for The Gallery of Regrettable Food.

And forget about such exotic delicacies as cat.

(The link leads to a terribly good photograph captioned "A ferel [sic] cat destined for the dinner table is picked up in Xin Yuan wild animal market in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.", in case you're reading this after the Yahoo News item expires.)

Well, yeah, I was just commenting about a single line in a single ad about a single kind of single-minded pizza.

Also, I could totally eat cat, as long as it wasn't one I knew.
