Discovery for today

So i already knew from reading a gazillion websites, that New Haven is where pizza originated. Funny that i'll be living a hop, skip, and bike ride from the birthplace of pizza (or so they say). Characteristics of a New Haven pie include thin crust, usually blackened at the edges from the brick oven, and "plain" usually refers to tomato sauce and parmesan (mozzarella is an additional topping). They also make a pizza with clams that's supposed to be awesome. I think i'll be eating a lot of pizza. I wonder if pizza with clams in New Haven is like french fries on a sandwhich (or salad) in Pittsburgh? Ethnic foods are culturally diverse and interesting to explore....regional food variations always end up being more funny than anything (in the US anyway). In Santa Fe New Mexico they sell corn on the cob...I saw people walking the streets gnawing on corn. See, funny food traditions. Still very tasty though!!!
