Things that wouldn't go over well in the States (#5)
Shrimp and Hot Dog Pizzas......
We love the Pizza Company here in Thailand. One of our favorite family Friday nights, is to spread out a mat on the living room floor, get a delivery pizza, and watch a nature show. Our favorites are cheese (all the girls) and Italian sausage (Tom)- both delicious and the only odd part being that they arrive with ketchup packets. However, we thought it would be fun to show you some of the more unique choices on the menu.....
Last months' special was this "oh so American" pizza with large hotdogs imbedded in the crust. Hmmmm, how is that American you might ask. Well, hotdogs are American and as you can see, the statue of liberty and the American flag are present, so there you have it.
This month's special was even better....the DANCING SHRIMP pizza (yes, that is what it's called)...with shrimp gaily leaping around the crust. As you can see, it also features oysters and squid.
What do you think? Would you order either one of these? Are shrimp and hotdogs legitimate hotdog toppings or crust fillers? Other popular toppings here are corn and tuna. Mmmmmmm.

I think I would try both of them... Maybe not at the same time.

Yeah we generally try to opt for the more familiar toppings as well! And we're with you on the ketchup thing... we have a whole drawer filled with Pizza company ketchup... Luckily the kids in the village think that ketchup is one of the tastiest snacks... so on occasion we give them out as a little treat! (Probably not the most healthy snack... but as long as it's not too frequent we don't feel too guilty!)
