Made popular in the United States by soldiers who brought the idea back from Italy at the end of World War ii, pizza is thought to have evolved from early Egyptian flat bread. Literally translated, the word means "pie," but it has come to represent a round savory tart made with a crisp yeast dough covered with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and other ingredients such as peppers, onions, Italian sausage, mushrooms, anchovies and pepperoni. Variations such as deep-dish pizza, with its thick breadlike crust, have been popular over the years. Many menus now feature pizzas sans tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. They're topped instead with ingredients such as sun-dried tomatoes, duck sausage, fresh basil, smoked salmon, goat cheese or wild mushrooms.

Resa popolare negli Stati Uniti dai militari che portarono l'idea al ritorno dall'Italia alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale, la pizza è considerata un'evoluzione dall'antico pane piatto egiziano. Tradotto letteralmente il termine significa "torta" ma ora indica una crostata salata dalla forma rotonda preparata con una pasta lievitata friabile ricoperta con salsa di pomodoro, mozzarella ed altri ingredienti come peperoni, cipolle, salsiccia italiana, funghi, acciughe e salame piccante. Variazioni tipo la pizza alta, con crosta spessa simile al pane, sono diffuse da anni. Molti menu attualmente presentano pizze senza pomodoro e mozzarella. Vengono invece ricoperte con ingredienti tipo pomodori essiccati al sole, salsiccia d'anatra, basilico fresco, salmone affumicato, formaggio di capra o funghi selvatici.

Widely cultivated in the Asian tropics, the mangosteen is no relation to the mango. In size and structure, it's much like a tangerine, having 5 to 8 fruit segments. The segmented flesh is soft, cream-colored and juicy. It has a tantalizingly sweet-tart flavor that is extremely refreshing. The hard skin of the mangosteen is a dark purple-brown. Unfortunately, the mangosteen is rarely imported to the United States.
