It's usually required by law to be called "cheese food" because it's not legally cheese. Like Velveeta. As for any other cheese (cheddar, Brie, &etc.), only ego and cherry-picked data are involved in your selections so as to feel like somehow something in Europe still remains superior to elsewhere. The degrading effect of tired old cultures.

Your logic . . . sucks . . . as I have had pizza, both urban and rural, in Italy. Do I have to try every damn resturant in the country to try to find one comparable with any typical neighborhood pizzeria in NYC? As I said before - you're judging without tasting, I'm judging from experience - the normal conclusion, then is someone doesn't know what they're talking about because they 100% really don't know. Hint: it's not me.
Munchies_Matt wrote: US produce has less flavour, everyone says it, so isnt gong to compete Who is the famous everyone to whom you refer? Another artichoke eating european elitist? A bunch of you sitting at a table convincing yourself that your "in the best of all possible worlds" ?
Even were your fallacy of ingredients true, it's like coding: it's not the language you use, but the code you write that counts.
Munchies_Matt wrote: You dont even know what real pizza is so used are you to it dripping with cheese and tomato sauce, so I am not surprised your taste buds lack refinement. Refinement? You! The standard to which all others are to be compared!
That junk you displayed as a pizza? Looks more likely to pass as a bready method to recycle waste.

I expect NYC pizza is the best in the US, after all, it's where the immigrants landed. The further west you go the longer the immigrants have had in the US and the more degraded their palet has become. So I expect if you find a real old 'Pappa off the boat' pizzeria straight from Italy it will be good, but only because he CAME FROM ITALY!!!!
And let's face to, the reason Pappa went to the U.S. is because his restaurant in Italy failed, so what does that tel you about the sh*t you eat thre that goes by the name of pizza? It's just Italian reject isn't it?
Combine hat with the already poor US ingredients, as attested to by so many people I hVe met, and in the two links I have given you and you have a recipe not for pizza, but pizzle. That's what you eat, pizzle.

That is kind of genius and deductive insight that makes me glad there's an ocean between Europe and here. We don't need to whine about who's is best because some illusion of squatter's rights on a product means it's the best because it was (possibly) first.
That's never been true - and won't become true even though you really really want it to be true.
But if it helps your digestion at one of those artichoke orgies, you go on believing it. Those of us who decide with our minds instead of our egos; logic instead of emotion; well, so long as that infection stays an ocean away, we really don't give a rat's ass!

Must have been that long ocean voyage that made those Italian immigrants so sick they lost their ability to distinguish flavour.

Or, as they say in neighborhoods adjacent to the great restaurants of Europe: "Has anyone seen my cat, lately?".

I entirely agree. For pasta, go to a village in Tuscany, but for pizza, it has to be New York.
Unfortunately, I have had to give up pizza now.
Whenever I send my wife out to get pizza, she always insists on flying first class. It really was getting too expensive.

That sounds more like a dessert than pizza.

It could have been a desert pizza, but these ingedients are often put together.
I do a 'mille feuille' of goats cheese, pistacios, honey and bric (a north african pastry like filo) as a salad starter, similar ingredients, and a combination much used around the med: goats cheese and mint parcels - Google Search[^]

This applies equally to those that check-in untested code, much less release it!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I must confess I've checked in non-compiling code once or twice...
And a couple of times that my checked in code didn't compile, but only because for some reason half of my code didn't get committed (like project A committed just fine, but project B didn't).
And I've had a few coworkers who did that at least once a week which is very annoying.
Or do you mean "release" as in a release to a customer? Because I can't imagine people not checking that

At one company we had automatic build that, originally, ran on all the dev environments each night. In our team we had a rule that if a build failed due to an untested checkin you bought treats - dog-nuts, cakes, etc - for those affected. One of my minions made a 'tiny tweak' to the build process itself. Next morning he came in to be confronted by 30+ failed builds...

Oops!
Was his face red after that?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Our penalty was a round of beers on friday night. It had been known that 2am was not an unreasonable time to get home after a bad week. With 6 dev, 2 QC and a PM it was a bloody expensive round.
It had been known to log on to a colleagues machine and insert a divide by zero if it looked like being a dry week.
