“Everyone prefers some foods over others, but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children – such as plain or buttered pasta, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches – and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes.” – Andrew Weil

History of National Pizza Day
On September 5th, one of the most popular varieties of pizzas gets its day of honour. Hold the toppings, please. In ancient Greece, the Greeks closed their bread with oils, herbs, and cheese which some hope is the beginning of the “pizza.” In Byzantine Greek, the word was spelt “πίτα,” pita, meaning pie. The Romans developed a sheet of dough topped with cheese and honey, then flavoured with bay leaves.
