Big Americans
 While strolling unsuspectingly past the freezers this evening at Interspar I innocently glanced to the right. My shopping daze was rudely interrupted by a shocking display: frozen pizza! Not so surprising, you think? Indeed, it was not the frozen pizza alone (in itself relatively boring), but the packaging. This was not your average frozen pizza. The boxes read, "Big Americans: Pizza American Style." In English, no Czech, German, or French. Could you pass it up? Neither could I. Particularly when I saw that many were "Texas" flavored.

I'll refrain from making any tasteless remarks (oops! too late already). You'll have to fill them in yourself.
No, it was not very good. But it was very funny. And my oven didn't even burn it. Click here for a serving suggestion.


 A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

Gross. Goes so well with the idea that "all Americans" (despite evidence to the contrary) are fat. (Comment by porcine Romanian in my August 2004 Czech class.)
