Um scuse you.

Anyone ever heard of Sandy Island, New Caledonia? by Linstar on 2024-02-19 02:38:17 UTC Writing Reply

It's a nonexistent island off the coast of New Caledonia. I'm not entirely sure how that would relate to the PPC, but it is interesting and could probably be used in a PPC story.

Paging Captain Dandy: they're asking about Sandy Island again. by The Nightshade on 2024-02-19 07:17:42 UTC Reply

I know we discussed this when the Guide launched, but I wanted to check you're still happy to 'let them wonder'. You know my concerns.

In particular, the section about the restaurants. It came to my attention that it talks about "real American pizza" - the only way you can put "real" and "pizza" together in the same sentence is if you put "Italian" in it, as pizza is an italian dish! I can't believe I found the misconception of pizza being an American dish even among my former PPC colleagues, jeez.

At least tell me it's not Chicago deep dish. If it is, I'm burning the place down.

Please excuse him, we tend to struggle finding a good pizzeria in Japan and during our latest vacation in Italy we somehow ran into a place that offered Chicago deep dish. Seeing it in his country kinda traumatized him... but I do kinda agree that you can't call that a pizza.

[Yes. there are apparently places offering that style of pizza here in italy. It seems to be mostly a thing of American-style restaurants, though the fact someone would order the americanized version of an Italian dish in Italy is something that still baffles me]

Italians may have invented pizza, but America raised it to an art form. Would anyone Italian restaurant make you an oyster, banana, and chocolate aphrodisiac pizza? No! You have go to the US of good new-fashioned A for that. Or, more to the point, to New Calzonea, possibly after they're closed, possibly with lockpicks. But oooh, let me tell you, after we finished it we--

No thank you, Agent Luxury. - The Nightshade
