I like the word’s gogen(語源), even though I know it means order in Modern Japanese, but can’t figure what what’s it mean(注文) by separate the Kanji.注 can translate to “note”, “文”どういう意味でしょうか.

Anybody knows this?

Where can I buy JapanesePod Sauce??!!! たべたいです！

I once ordered Hawaiian at a little pizza place in Italy. The pizza chef was really peeved. He started huffing and rolling his eyes and saying “Pineapple?! You call this pizza?! This isn’t pizza! This is food for children!” He made it, but he complained the whole time, as if my pineapple request forced him to betray the art of pizza-making.

I just wanted to add that Hawaiian Pizza is common place in Germany, too . As in the UK, in California and in Brazil
Moreover, in Germany there are different Pizzas every season as well. Currently, for example, my pizza place offers a greek style pizza, topped with miced meat, onion, feta cheese and peperoni …

And here you can have a look at the delicious pizzas we have here in Germany. Be aware of the prices! Maybe you should come here, if you like pizza!

Pizza “Kentucky”
Salami (4,60 € - 8,70 €)
Pizza “Hawaii”
Bacon, Pineapple (5,10 € - 9,70 €)
Pizza “Alaska”
Tuna, Onion (5,40 € - 10,30 €)
Pizza “New York”
Tuna, Bacon, Mushrooms, Spinach (6,70 € - 12,90 €)
Pizza “California”
Mushrooms, Broccoli, Tomato, Corn (7,20 € - 13,90 €)

By the way: 1€ = 1,34$ = 165 円

Here, they vary. Several places have medium peperoni pizzas for about $5, large 2 topping pizzas are usually about $10.

Medium pizzas here are usually about 12in (30cm), large about 15in (38cm), XL are about 18in (45cm).

dude, i love Imo’s!!

I’m glad you enjoyed St. Louis style pizza. The most famous St. Louis style pizza in St. Louis is Imo’s. Some St. Louisans actually don’t like the provel cheese, but I do. And it is much less expensive than in Japan. St. Louis has a very large Japanese Festival (aki matsuri) in September at the Missouri Botanical Garden (mobot.org), which has one of the largest Japanese Garden (seiwa-en) in the US.

I am Japanese American and have been to Japan 3 times and really enjoyed every trip. My father’s family is from Kumamoto in Kyushu and my mother’s family is from Wakayama. I have met relatives in both areas.

I took Nihon-go lessons from Berlitz about 10 years ago and JP101 really helps to build onto those introductory classes. I seem to learn something from classes of every level.

We also have pinapple pizzas in Brazil too, but I think we call it “Califórnia”. We also have “Portuguesa” that comes with eggs, peas, corn, onions, ham, and lots of other things.

Besides, I love the sweet pizzas, with chocolate and strawberry, banana and cinnamon, some with ice cream… great ones.

We don’t have any kind of discont in case the pizza comes late, actually sometimes they do take long to come. By the way, I was really surprised to hear about the prices you guys pay there. An expensive large pizza here would cost around $10 dollars!

さちこさん、how come you like fermented beans?? Actually, I am not such a fan of beans, I prefer lentils, but not on a pizza! And how can you compare the size of a pizza with the size of a foot??? That was so disgustingly funny!!! hahahaha That also made me think, shoe size in Japan is based on a person’s foot length?

Why is there so much difference in shoe size numbers around the world? Does anybody know??

However, we do not have “Monterey” pizza. When I came to Japan, and saw Monterey pizza on the menu, I was grossed out to see that it had mayonnaise and potato on it.

Speaking of weird flavors, Pepsi now has a flavor called “Iced Cucumber”!

Markyさん、

You prefer processed cheese to Mozzarella?

What do you think Peterさん？
