That's an incredibly American take IMO. Pizza is loved worldwide... Caesar salad?! Where are the famous Caesar salad global chains? I don't think it's much of a thing in Europe, at least.

I don't think that was the point the comment was trying to make. Like - it's easy to stand on a street corner and eat a slice of pizza (or grab one and run!), it's much harder to eat dressed leaves.

I read their point as being: the first time you try pizza you're like "this is delicious and amazing." The first time you try Caesar salad it lights you up in the same magical way.

I could be wrong of course - but that definitely fits my own experience. The first time I had a chicken CS as a kid in a restaurant, it was all I wanted to eat every time we went out for months afterwards. I genuinely couldn't believe 'salad' could be so delicious.

Maybe not margheritta pizza. But every culture that makes bread has a flatbread with topping and spices popped in the oven dish.

(In fact I believe it was archaeologically found to exist in some or another form for the longest time ...)

Definitely not every culture, far from it. You should probably actually travel a bit more.

[whycome]

Okay then every culture eats some leaves with spices mixed in.

Have one almost every day from Tesco in Prague. Sometimes they sell out before I can get one. Where do you live?

“Europe” is a big place. In my experience Caesar salads are very common in London, in the South of France, in Italy and in Greece.

[gbrindisi]

not in Italy

I'm Canadian. And yes, it was about people who live in places where pizza and caesar salad are ubiquitous.

[spacechild1]

Yeah, I don't think I have eaten a single Caesar Salad in my whole life.

You are missing out.
