Give Peace-a Chance

This week Neil at Citizen of the Month organized Bloggers Across America, a homegrown attempt to heal America's wounds and unite a nation divided by politics, sex, race, and American Idol.  Bloggers of all types stepped forward to claim their States and create a virtual chain across the Internet. They didn't, however, have to sing Kumbaya, they just had to touch their monitors in unison.

My vision is even bigger. As an American living in Belgium, I'm caught between two continents, two cultures, multiple languages, and no agreement as to whether egg belongs on pizza. So in the interest of shamelessly stealing Neil's concept advancing the cause of cultural understanding,  I'm launching Bloggers Across the Globe. To participate, all you have to do is announce your presence and pizza preference on V-Grrrl in the Middle and join our diverse community of pizza and peace lovers.

 In the comments section, please tell us who you are, where you're from, and  your favorite pizza combo.  Please note, everyone is welcome here regardless of whether they crack raw eggs on top of  piping hot pizzas and call it edible.  Our motto is Give Peace-a Chance.

Finally, in the spirit of promoting lots of blog comments world peace together,  participants are asked to gather with friends on  Saturday night, order a pizza, and raise a glass and a pizza slice to the vast circle of V-Grrrl in the Middle  readers around the world,  sharing their piece of the global pie and changing the world one topping at a time.

I prefer a good greasy pizza which you can only obtain in NY.

[Lisa]

Howdy. Lisa. Kentucky, America. Living in Germany. Pizza Frutti de Mare hold the Anchovies and Tuna. (trans. for those not familiar: shrimps, oysters, clams, squid, scallops, lobster, crab, fish and other myriad squiggly ocean creatures, garlic, tomato sauce, extra cheese)

[V-Grrrl]

On Dan and Lisa's behalf, let's extend a greasy, tentacle (gulp) pizza to NY, Kentucky, and Germany. ; )

[Char]

Not a big pizza fan here, but if I must, I'll take Ledo's Pizza of the Gods - complete with feta, gyro meat, onions, and black olives.

(V-Grrrl note: Char is in Virginia!)

[Arabella]

Yeah, I think New York pizza is even better than pizza in Italy.

[Granola-grrrl]

I'll be interested to see if I get the "world's most boring citizen" award for scarfing down plain cheese pizza. *Extra cheese*, if I'm feeling adventurous. From the place up the street with all the hot Italian boys making the pizza (if I'm feeling *super* adventurous ;) )

[V-Grrrl note: Granola Grrrl is extending her hand from Plano, Texas!)

[Flubberwinkle]

Name: Athena
Location: Athens
Blog pseudo name: Flubberwinkle
Pizza preference: Cheese, mushrooms and sausage in a previous life. Now it is forbidden.

However, I will be raising low-fat yogurt (maybe even a strawberry popsicle, crazy party girl that I am) in salute to V-grrrl's global pizza party on Saturday evening! Peace!

[V-Grrrl]

It occurs to me I haven't done my own salute:

V-Grrrl
Brussels, Belgium

Peppers, onions, mushroom, fresh tomato, more than one kind of cheese, thin crust

Give pizza/peace-a chance!

[Low Maintenance Grrl]

Low Maintenance Grrl in California (near SF). My favorite is a thin crust with pesto,feta, spinnach and tomato.

[Cissy]

Name I use in cyberspace: Cissy Location: Oklahoma City, OK Pizza: Shakespeare's (quaint pizza joint in Columbia,MO) pizza with extra cheese and artichokes, or just about any pie from Two Boots, a joint in Grand Central Station in NYC. Yum. Those I dream about, here, I'll go down to Hideaway Pizza and bring home a "pizza of the Gods" white sauce, chicken and artichokes. Not as good as a Shakes pizza, but darn close.

[Shirl Grrrl]

Shirl Grrrl living in New Palestine, Indiana. I tend to like all the traditional toppings at once with the exception of anchovies. And of course, it must be washed down with a good beer.

[V-Grrrl]

Don't be shy y'all! Speak up. I know you're reading. Join "Bloggers for Peace-a" and give peace a chance.

[wordgirl]

What a great idea! I'm chilling the wine as we speak.

[Annie]

I don't know that I have a favorite type of pizza other than that I can get in NY. I'm currently residing in SoCal where they make pizza with whole wheat crust up the street. (My husband ordered last night. Whole wheat crust but with Canadian bacon and extra cheese. Good thing we got the healthy crust.) When I lived in Japan, tentacles and egg were both popular toppings, as were mayonaisse and corn. Popular with the locals, not with this New Yorker.

[Javacurls]

Me: Javacurls in the cyberworld or Tylene in real life
I'm a simple girl so my favorite pizza is a delicious NY style pizza with mozzarella. Of course a slice of pizza is even better when eaten after 2:00am and a night of drinking & dancing.
