A radio commercial I heard recently promoted a pizza place that offers over 40 options of toppings and sauces. The restaurant's spokesperson said, "I like the pesto pizza."
That makes one of us. I tried a pesto pizza with black olives years ago. I managed to stomach it, but I wouldn't eat it again. Call me a rigid traditionalist, but a proper pizza, in my view, contains tomato sauce.
In fairness, I haven't tried the pesto pizza from the advertised restaurant. Still, given my previous experience, just hearing about someone eating pesto-based pizza is triggering. If I hear that ad again, my stomach will likely feel a tad turbulent--and I won't want to try anything on the restaurant's menu.
