We Americans don’t like foreign stuff nor do we trust foreigners who wear keffiyehs, watch soccer or smoke from a bottle of water (Hookah). Foreign stuff we do like are -German cars, French women and Italian food. Ah, Italian food. In 1889 Queen Margherita of Savoy asked the Naples celebrity chef Raffaele Esposito Brandi for a special meal that would satisfy her and the hungry population. Chef Brandi created a flat hot bread with green basil, white mozzarella and red tomato. And, to top it off Chef Brandi made the Pizza Margherita to resemble the colors of the Italian flag. What a patriot. Last count on my visit to Naples, I have eaten 7 Pizza Margherita.
