It does when you're reading it in English, that's all I was saying.
I don't speak Italian so I just learned something.
I has to be last night's pizza cold for the "right" taste. It was time yesterday to trim what's left of the hair and I had to find a place near my new digs, next door there was a "Greek" pizza place with both pineapple and Hawaiian pizza (pineapple and ham).

Looks like a popular dish in the Sid James era of "Carry on Cabby". Canada may have parted ways with the UK, but the UK culinary predilections remain evident in BC.
Misunderstanding on my part Cal.
But does it really work like that in English?
While we are in the Food thread lets use the traditional english meatball, the faggot, as an example.
Would you really pronounce it as 'fajot' if it were spelt 'fagot'?
I'm not a native english speaker but to me it would merely modify how I pronounce the preceding a but the g-sound would remain the same.
Or have I got it wrong again?
Charles, you are talking about English spelling, it makes NO sense! Now, at least Welsh is phonetic......
Something like that, although in this case it looks French so one might say fazsow, with the 'zs' sounding like Zsa Zsa Gabor and the 'ow' sounding like a long O.
It also depends on the vowel after the g (or c). If the vowel is e or I that softens the g, but a o or u doesn't. Except when that rule doesn't work, like "get", but perhaps I am too generous or general. Are there any English words with a double c that aren't borrowed directly from another language?
This "food discussion" has turned rather strange. But as we say over here in Sweden, to speak Danish, you stuff a hot potatoe in your mouth and try to talk normally ...🙂
I learned the pronunciation as pasta "fazhool" but that was northeastern Ohio Italian-American. The wife and I are having a slow lazy day today but planning on Eggs Benedict and Champagne for a late brunch in a couple hours.
Around here we see a lot of the benny being served with sliced smoked salmon, the kind with a similar texture to lox. It is my go-to now for benny. Nothing beats that first bite with the salmon and the gooey yolk.
OMG my mouth is watering, better go get a glass of champagne. 🙂

There was a restaurant (now closed) in Paris which served a version of eggs benedict -- quail egg over sliced truffe with a very light mayonnaise.
We can speak of ouefs mayo in Stuart's absence?
Les meilleurs oeufs mayo de Paris
I used to deliver the Cleveland Press to Chef Boyardee when I occasionally took over a friend's paper route. About as close as we got to Italian until I went to the Bronx. Didn't know an eggplant from a carciofi.

Sounds great.
I have it good authority he kept a jar in his closet. Late at night when everyone else was alseep...
I got tired of the usual eggs and bacon this morning so I made a spinach quiche.
9" Pie crust
5 eggs
1/2 cup half and half
8 strips of bacon fried crisp
1 onion chopped and fried in bacon grease
1 pack frozen spinach microwaved for 6 minutes
8 oz white cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Black pepper
Salt
bake 45 minutes at 350F

Really? Other people do silly cooking like me? Had no idea. Anyway it came out great. Had it for breakfast again today. 🙂
I think the lactic acid fermentation along with cooking the sauce at the end and adding iodized salt, plus the initial salt goes along way to keeping me safe.
I hope. 😉
I've never had food poisoning with any food I've prepared.
On the other hand I go by the mantra, "if it smells bad throw it out" . Botulism has a distinctive smell (like sewer).
I had a batch of home canned green beans go bad because I hot packed them instead of pressure canning them. I only made that mistake once. Dish washer was worked overtime cleaning the empty jars.
