Don't piss into the wind, and don't mess with pizza

World's Most Expensive Pizza Is Covered in Snails and Gold
Monday , November 13, 2006
Mmm … unnecessary.
Finally, a pizza for people who feel the need to eat boozy snails sprinkled with precious metals and have money to burn.
A chef in Scotland says he's created what he believes is the world's most expensive pizza pie, and he plans to sell it on eBay for around $4,000.
Domenico Crolla's "Pizza Royale 007" features champagne-soaked caviar and lobster marinated in high-end cognac, and is topped with 24-carat gold shavings, the AFP reports.
So why a pizza named for everyone's favorite high-rolling spy?
"If any pizza was made to suit 007, this is it. Everyone loves a pizza as a treat, and this should be a real luxury experience," he added.
Crolla's costly concoction also boasts sunblush tomato sauce, Scottish smoked salmon, medallions of venison, prosciutto and a drizzling of vintage balsamic vinegar.
And apparently he's not the first connoisseur of the finer things to whip up a preposterously pricey pizza — the current record for most expensive pie is held by Gordon Ramsay's Maze restaurant in London, where a white truffle, mushroom and fontina cheese dish will run you close to $200.
Crolla says he'll make his pizza at the winning bidder's home or at one of his restaurants, and that all proceeds will go to charity.

I imagine this bozo probably thinks that adding a mustache and glasses to the Mona Lisa would make that more appealing as well. God inspired the Italians to create the second greatest food dish in the world (second to stuffed cabbage rolls), and I don't think he intended it to have snails, salmon and venison put on top of it. Once you put on pepperoni, green olive and mushrooms---leave it alone, that's a masterpiece right there.

Do you know why pizza and sex are similar? When it's good, it's really good; and when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
