The Thanksgiving Pizza
November 23, 2013
MANY of you plan to spend grueling hours next week making turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie — the whole shebang. I can understand your wanting to adhere to time-honored traditions, but have you thought of making a Thanksgiving pizza instead? Pizza Today has a recipe. Combine all the essentials in one lovely and creative dish. The Pilgrims just didn’t think of this.
Now, where else can you get life-changing tidbits like this but at The Thinking Housewife? I am very close to reaching my fundraising goal. Please consider donating. Small donations of five, ten or fifteen dollars will put me closer to my goal, as will donations of $1 million or more. Thank you for your generosity. Every donation, large or small, is appreciated and is an instance of concrete action in support of the marginalized, disenfranchised, pizza-hassled counter-revolution.

Using your website link, on several occasions I have sought to determine the admixture of ingredients needed to create a “Thanksgiving pizza.” Alas, all of my efforts have been in vain, for there is neither an adequate display of such a monstrosity, nor the recipe for creating it.
I must remind you that a “Thanksgiving pizza” exists only for those in a delusional state and unaware that such frivolity is not appreciated by those “periti” (experts) of the true meaning – and ingredients – of a product that is divinely inspired.
Further, I must insist that after your fundraising ends, you cease and desist all such efforts to “popularize” pizza. Is it, therefore, logical that the next thing I can expect is your promoting a Hawaiian pizza, adorned with pineapples? Saints preserve us!
The Latin aphorism claims, de gustubius non disputandem est – that there is no arguing over taste. I would, however, remind you that in the case of pizza, nego argumentum – I deny the argument. So should you.

I don’t make the pizza news, I only report it.
There is a description in the article about the Thanksgiving pizza of how to make one. They suggest bacon, squash, onions, and a few other things. I say, go ahead and make the full Thanksgiving dinner. Just cut it up, put it on a crust and add mozzarella.
As for the Hawaiian pizza, I have no idea who invented it, but it makes about as much sense as a french fries with chocolate sauce. It was invented by someone who had never encountered real food.
