Toppings on Pizza

[Jan van Leyden]

Most of the stuff given here qualifies as basic topping in Germany.

The more bizarre stuff, and only seldom seen, is:

• Asparagus and Sauce Hollandaise
• Bratwurst (a typical German fast food in its own right)
• Spaghetti (if those mountains of carbohydrates don't suffice to saturate you, nothing ever will)
• Sauerkraut (lending credence to prejudice)

Pizza with fried potatoes...

[MENTION=34175]Thunderfoot[/MENTION]: The salami-like pepperoni is pepperoni-sausage (but usually shortened to pepperoni for some reason), but you can also get actual pepperonis, of course. I have seen one pizza service, which actually had "pepperoni" listed twice in the listup (one was the sausage and one the actual pepperonis, but they were both called exactly the same ).

We have a small pizza chain here in town that makes a pizza called the "Pacific Northwest" that has Smoked Salmon on it. It struck me as very strange at first...then I tried it. It is a pretty delicious pizza.

I'm a pretty big fan of broccoli and artichoke on pizza.

I remember some unusual toppings for pizza when I was an exchange student in Hungary. Ketchup was common as an addition to all pizza, but I remember one place had a "Mexican" pizza with corn kernels. That was a little odd.

Some of the most interesting pizza toppings I encountered were in the UK. Tuna, corn - not very common in the US that I'm aware of.

There was an awesome place that I went to in 1989 while I was a student at the University of Exeter and celebrating the end of the term. They used to have an entry on the pizza menu for "anything the cook can get his hands on" which was basically a dustbin lid-sized pizza with everything on it.
Turns out, they're still there but the menu has changed a little. Still have some interesting toppings, though.

I've tried pizza in several countries, but the oddest one I've had was here in the good ol USA: a lox pizza.

It was actually pretty crafty on their part. It was everything you expect on a lox bagel: cream cheese, capers, red onions and, of course, lox (with none of the "traditional" toppings you'd expect), all piled high on a medium thick crust.

Essentially, it was a 18" bagel...which made it awesome!

I love barbecue chicken pizza, and mourn the loss of tuna-and-red-onion from the range of frozen pizzas at my local supermarket.

One I hadn't seen before that came up recently, from the same supermarket, was a minced-beef-and-onion pizza that came with a sachet of tomato ketchup to add as a garnish.

I think you can get a "Mexican Pizza" at Taco Bell.

I attended the World Jamboree in 1991, a gathering of Boy Scouts from around the world. It was held in South Korea. There was a vender who sold pizza. He offered Cheese Pizza or Supreme Pizza by the slice.

The Supreme Pizza consisted of the following toppings:
Peperoni
Italian sausage
Mushrooms
Onions

Sound normal right? It was also topped with:
Corn
Bean sprouts

Well it was the only "Hot" food available that we did not have to make ourselves.

ok, sorry to the Netherlander, but i had to look up: Shawarma
and this is what i got:

Shawarma is a little piece of heaven, right here on Earth. Shawarma is a lot like a gyro, kind of like a taco, but so different in many ways. ...

as for the descriptions it gave, i would have to say that a pizza of this content is strange, but sounds really good!!
