Chèrs Christine et Jean François,...

This one is about pizzas... But not the kind of pizza Homer Simpson loves: true pizzas, luxury pizzas,... those which are part of the Mediterranean Food.

I had always thought that the pizza making started a long time ago in Italy, so I was surprised when I discovered it became famous just in the 19th century. Before, it was done in Napoli, but that was all. However it is likely to come from a kind of flat bread from Persia, brought to Italy by the first greeks. After the Second World War, it became famous all over the world, although all the Italian emigration to South America had already exported it to the other side of the Atlantic Sea.
Nowadays pizzas are eaten everywhere: you can choose among hundreds of different kinds, usually adapted to the part of the world it has been made. Italian pizzas are the most famous; if you have ever gone to Italy and left without tasting a pizza in any "pizza al taglio", you don't know what you're missing.
In Spain, Italian food has also been famous for years. In Zaragoza there are some restaurants with good pizzas. Very famous is el Trastevere, in Francisco de Vitoria; it started working a long time ago, and still keeps the success, despite the opening of new restaurants; in fact it's a chain of restaurants called Trastevere, La Tagliatela and Il Pastificcio that you may find in many places in the East of Spain, such as Tarragona, Barcelona or even Malaga. Pasta Italia
is another group of restaurants which, although it has reduced its quality and increased the prices, it's still reasonable. The good point is that here you can take a vegetarian menu.

I can't finish this text without praising my favourite Pizzeria all over the world and beyond; never before had I eaten so great pizzas. La Pizzeria du Port is located in Sainte Marine, a cute little village in Britanny, not far from Quimper. The from the port you can enjoy a wonderful sight of Benodet, while you're eating a pizza done with love by Jean François. Anyone who's tasted them agrees: they're the best. Maybe it has to do with the air and the atmosphere, but these pizzas are really tasty, and the pastry is especially thin. You can't leave the place without eating at least once there!

Well, and if you want to do the pastry, you only have to mix flour, salt, water, butter and some baking powder; it's your choice what you want to put over.
