Pizza TadescoGiusy ordered this pizza called Pizza Tadesco - (German pizza). It is a basic cheese and tomato pizza with french fries on top! Now I guess the grass is always greener and when you grow up with such healthy food, a pizza like this must be a treat for you.

Instead for us, where we are bombarded with fast food - this is considered, in my opinion, grotesque. Although it probably tastes delicious it actually ruins what pizza is all about.

A lot of Sicilians emigrated in the 1970s to Germany for work and there are a lot of German influences evident all around, our last dinner was at a German styled restaurant owned by a Sicilian who had lived there for the last 20 years -the food was amazing and the beer German. Not sure if this is really a German pizza, will have to ask Jappy?

p.s. at this restaurant in Camastra our bill for 10 people came to 98 Euros?! We had pizzas, wine, desert and antipasti of fish...how cheap was that? Each pizza was around €4.50.

Food Envy Futterneid is German for 'food envy' - the feeling you get when you wish you'd ordered what your friend ordered.

This happens to me all the time along with another disease which is ordering more than I can eat as my eyes are bigger than my stomach - will have to make up a word for that. My sister always bets me $100 I can't finish all that is on my plate and usually wins. Luckily she never collects...
