Cultural Appreciation, Period Four
Today's "topic"? Pizza.
As evidenced by the approximately eleven-million types of pizza present on the tables (along with appropriate non-alcoholic beverages to accompany, of course).
"The pizza," Thor began. "Was invented in Italy, where it is recognized officially as a 'traditional specialty'. This has not stopped other nations from taking the dish and putting their own spin on it, of course, but if you want the genuine original style of pizza, that is where you would find it." Or on the table at the front of the classroom. Because Thor had ways of making that happen. "Of course, dishes referred to as 'pizza' have existed here on Midgard for hundreds of years, but it was not until your 18th century that the tomato sauce was added to the flat bread to create what you know as a pizza."
Lecturing done, it was time for the real purpose of the class... nomming!
