Parmesan cheese, whether grated or sprinkled on top, is delicious, not only on pizza but on spaghetti bolognaise, and other Italian-style cookery.

Quite right, wagga--your culinary descriptions are mouthwatering.

Restrictions on pizza eating must, of course, be applied to the baby, when the occasion is a birth.

Some people, diagnosed with coeliac disease, might need specially made gluten-free pizza bases to keep them healthy.

Usually those who don't need special diets, such as gluten-free can take their choices from any range of pizza available.

Vegans, on the other hand, choose to restrict their food choices for reasons other than food allergies or sensitivities.

Whether you need a specialty pizza or pepperoni, there's a pizza out there designed to tickle your tastebuds--and I think that's the great thing about pizza.

Xenophobes wouldn't have this problem, because most of them would only eat food specific to their own country or region - apart from those from Italy I guess!

Devilled eggs might need a bit of explanation or a recipe, but we do like cold, chopped up hardboiled curried egg sandwiches occasionally.
