Food journey!

For millenia, man has eaten food to allay his desire to gain nutrients. George Washington ate food. So did Abraham Lincoln, and so did people who weren't presidents. Like Warren Harding.

Every 1GBP (GBP = pound sterling) pizza I've found sports a composition of around 97% bread and a trace layer of cheese atop insinuations of sauce that-once-was, resulting in a very soft and heavy final impression, not unlike that of oatmeal or the mentality of suburban teens.



But when I took a picture of the pizza place, this Portuguese man suggested I buy a slice. It was, as he said, da best.
