For lunch today Erik and I decided to have a pizza since it is a rather popular dish here, and we found an ocean front pizza place with very reasonable prices. Much to my delight, their "Hawaii" pizza was described as having pineapple and cherries, which saves us the trouble of having to order "no ham" in Spanish ("sans jaman?") Besides, I love trying new things and have never had cherry pizza before, plus it is cherry season...in California. This occurred to me well into the pizza baking process. I suddenly realized that it was likely that the canned pineapple on the pizza would be accompanied by maraschino cherries. Now, maraschino cherries are great on ice cream and in Shirley Temples, but on pizza? It turns out my premonition was correct, and we were indeed served a canned pineapple and maraschino cherry pizza. But you know what? It wasn't so bad after all. Actually, it was pretty good. I might just import this custom to the US.
