I've never understood the attraction of vegetables cooked to the
falling-apart
stage, myself.  Although I do like veggies in general somewhat more than I
used
to, these days.  (We went to the sandwich shop my half-sister works at
when my
aunt was visiting the other week, and I had a truly excellent sub with
pickles,
mushrooms, cu***ber, bean sprouts, black olives, cream cheese, pepper jack
and a
tad bit salad oil.)

My "new" (for the last two years or so) favorite pizza combo is spinach,
artichoke and giardiniera [sp] peppers, with or without anchovies. 
Although I
decided I was tired of picking out the teensy little bones and wanted
something
different one delivery ago.  Shrimp is now in my "never again" category of
pizza
toppings.
