I just saw the English version of this ad. It posited that Italian restaurants serve pizza.

Three Four things.

  • I’ve been to lots of Italian restaurants, like this one. Pizza was an afterthought. Pizza is a big deal at pizza joints, not at restaurants.
  • “Dr. Oetker” is German. What do Germans know about pizza?
  • The best pizza joints are run by Greeks.
  • Modern pizza has little to do with traditional Sicilian pizza. I’ve had both, including Sicilian pie made by a real Sicilian. I know.

No sale.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
