A large peperoni with mozzarella, marinara sauce, onions mushrooms and sweet green bell peppers. Plus a six pack of Shiner Bock.

That’s what I call a seven course meal.

On a tour of Italy years ago we passed through a region that's famous for mozzarella.The tour guide informed us that *genuine* mozzarella is made with the milk of cape buffalo,not cows.Ever since I've been less than enthusiastic.

[be-baw]

What a job. Only at a university...

[pallmallman]

Why are you less than enthusiastic about Cape Buffalo mozzarella?

[Sacajaweau]

We always had grated cheese on out pizzas when I was a kid....But of course, there were also dinosaurs back then.

Would you tell me how you pronounce mozzarella?

Thank you for calling Domino's Pizza, this is David, how can I help you?
There's a bug in my pizza.
Can you describe it?
It's brown.
That's probably just burnt cheese. That happens a lot.
No, it's a bug.
Well, send it back to us, and we'll have it analysed, to see what it is, and we'll get back to you.
Never mind, it's just burnt cheese.
Okay, have a good night.

I can't think that any respectable pizza would be made with anything but mozzarella...what ever kind of milk it's made from.

I also love Chihuahua cheese from Mexico, though. How they milk those tiny dogs evades me. ;)

It is like a water buffalo. And the fresh mozzarella di bufalo that you buy floating in whey is really amazing. It has a creamy center, that is wonderfully mild. I was an expat there for a couple of years, and that is one of the few things I miss. Well, and the shoes :)

Did you have an opportunity to taste buffalo mozzarella? IMHO — much better than cow’s milk.

[beebuster2000]

Buffalo mozzarella (Italian: mozzarella di bufala) is a mozzarella made from the milk of the domestic Italian water buffalo. It is a product traditionally produced in Campania, especially in the provinces of Caserta and Salerno.

The term mozzarella derives from the procedure called mozzatura which means “cutting by hand”, separating from the curd, and serving in individual pieces, that is, the process of separation of the curd into small balls. It is appreciated for its versatility and elastic texture and often called “the queen of the Mediterranean cuisine”, “white gold” or “the pearl of the table”, in compliance with the finest food quality and taste of the product.

Science?

“When we understand food right down to its micro-structural level,” she says, “it gives us the levers we need to change the way it behaves.”

Teachers.......leave those pizzas alone!

Science. It’s that thing with microscopes.

[real saxophonist]

Science!
