mix it, shake it and call it haiku :

Italian Pizza <>
with anchovis and a topping of
hot chocolate sauce

create your own pizza

I wrote about the strange mixture because some friends seem to mix anything
together and call the result HAIKU, regardless of any concept of the .. real ..
ingredients of a Japanese haiku.

I believe you're right, Gabi ... and sometimes I make that mistake, too ... wish you would comment when I do.

... ...

ewww! That's as bad a combination as what some people call chili.

sweet peppers
and beans
where is the beef?

There is no such thing as vegetarian chili in my book.
