I'll say that it's not AMERICAN pizza. People were making pizza before the tomato was introduced - and before pineapple was introduced - to Europe. Earliest record of pizza with tomato is early 1700s. I did see a reference to pineapple being introduced to Italy in the 1600s, so possibly there was pineapple on pizza before there was tomato on pizza.
Although it kind of hard to wrap my head around how a peasant would get such a luxury item, or why a toffy-nosed toff who could afford pineapple would stoop so low as to be eating pizza.

"Italy offers a wide variety of pizzas since the term generally indicates pies, flat breads and the like.
.......
In another dictionary, compiled by the Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana in 1991, the word pizza is described as follows: dish, prepared with wheat flour (but also corn, chestnut or other flours), mixed with milk or water, yeast, eggs, oil, lard or butter. To such dough, usually shaped into circular flat pies and baked, are possibly added other ingredients either sweet, savory, Easter style, rustic, which assumes different characteristics according to different geographic regions in which it exists.
.......
Due to the multiplicity of meanings of the word pizza and their connections to antique recipes, to know more on the subject and to fully understand its whole meaning, which has haunted historian, linguists and food experts, it is necessary to start with a historic research of the origins of civilization."
So, an open faced pie of leavened bread with some sort of topping.

Yeah, but you'd get more strange looks in August.

When I was growing up any of the neighbors (anyone the parents knew within half a mile or so), KoC, or VFW could give a kid ONE swat on the backside, chew the kid out, usually ending with, "What would your parents think if they saw you acting like that?", and haul them to the parents. Who would make us apologize again.
Granted, it took something spectacularly stupid, disrespectful, or dangerous to have that happen - a pretty easy going lot that knew kids had to be allowed a certain level of stupidity in order to learn how not to be stupid, but it did happen now and then.

Dropping flares that close is another matter.

When was the last time you saw a paper bag in a grocery store? I'd love to have them come back.
Every time I go into Safeway, Oliver's, or Lucky.

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), the flagship of the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, collided with M/V Besiktas-M on Wednesday evening near Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea, the Navy said Thursday.
The carrier did not experience flooding and the crew did not report injuries, Cmdr. Tim Gorman, the spokesperson for U.S. 6th Fleet, said in a statement.
Truman‘s propulsion plants are unaffected. The collision, which occurred at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Wednesday, is under investigation. The damage is above the waterline of the carrier, a Navy official told USNI News. No aircraft aboard the deck were damaged, another Navy official said.
The Harry S. Truman CSG deployed in September 2024 from Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. After exercising in the North Sea, the strike group entered U.S. Central Command in December.

Is that 30 miles or 30 meters?
Because the Internet uses M for both.

This needs a very coarse grind on the meat to work well.
Pretzel bun, top hollowed out some, sauerbraten gravy, rotkohl, and sauerkraut. Put gravy on the bottom bun, meat, a little gravy on the meat, sauerkraut, rotkohl, a little gravy painted inside the top bun.
Bratkartoffeln (potatoes boiled, sliced, fried crisp in butter or lard, topped with crumbled bacon and chopped onions) on the side. And a beer.

Found on FB.
In 1871, a landmark battle in the courtrooms of America marked a pivotal moment in the history of retail. Margaret Knight, a brilliant inventor, had created a machine capable of producing flat-bottomed paper bags—something that had never been seen before. When Charles Annan, a man who had tried to steal her design, claimed that a woman couldn't possibly understand such complex mechanics, Knight fought back. Armed with her blueprints and fierce determination, she proved her case in court, securing the patent for her groundbreaking machine.
Born in 1838, Knight was no stranger to innovation. Long before she invented the paper bag machine, she had already developed several safety devices for textile mills. Her talent and drive pushed her to create solutions that could make industries safer and more efficient. However, it was her invention of the flat-bottomed paper bag machine that would cement her legacy in the world of invention.
The flat-bottomed paper bags we use today can trace their roots directly back to Knight's invention. She co-founded the Eastern Paper Bag Company and went on to hold 26 patents in her lifetime, including designs for dress protectors, shoe-making machines, and even a rotary engine. But it was her paper bag machine that changed retail forever. The new bags were much more durable and could stand up on their own, unlike the previous envelope-style bags, which could not carry nearly as much weight.
Knight's innovation revolutionized how goods were packaged and transported, making it easier for businesses to sell products while also making life more convenient for shoppers. Today, billions of paper bags around the world still use the basic design she patented, a lasting testament to her ingenuity and determination.
Her success in securing her patent despite the legal and societal challenges she faced as a woman in the 19th century serves as a reminder of the power of perseverance. Margaret Knight not only changed how we carry things but also helped pave the way for future female inventors who would follow in her footsteps. Her story is one of resilience, intelligence, and the relentless pursuit of progress.
Margaret Knight’s legacy lives on in the everyday products we use. Her flat-bottomed paper bag transformed retail and made an indelible mark on history. Her story reminds us that invention is not just about creating something new—it's about pushing through obstacles, challenging the status quo, and making the world a better place for everyone.

I was going off his comments about the flavor combinations.
Strawberries?

Chocolate?

Seems all his points are covered. I also found several that were strawberry and hazelnuts without chocolate.
