And I thought the corn on my pizza in London was odd. when in Rome though right? But honestly, if there is something that you know you don't like, I don't see why anyone should accuse you of being uncultured for refusing it. I'm sure there are at least Europeons that don't like egg on their pizza, just like there are some Americans that don't like jalopenos or pineapple on theirs. Aren't we all allowed individual tastes?
Now, if I could just figure out what a "turkish toilet" is. Is that really a particular kind of toilet or are you just referring to all toilets in Turkey?

Hi cynic

It is a hole in the floor with large footprints to show you where to put your feet.
I found one in Italy. The toilet was lined with tile, spotlessly clean, but very different.

Wow this thread has gone off in all directions. Just to let minbrown know. The other pizzas we had in Rome DID NOT have eggs. Besides in most places the ingredients are listed in English, if not, just find the word for egg in the language of the country you're in and just say "No Egg, please".

Not quite the same, becaue the new thread is about sunny-side up egg on a pizza, nor totally raw. Raw would be even worse, though I guess the heat of the freshly made pizza might cook it partly before it's consumed.

Interesting "lesson" on what a forum does. ... sniping, self-righteousness... attempts at humor to ameliorate the tension...
I love this stuff!
Bring on the raw...its fine with me; the unpasteurized, the nature's finest.
Now that said, I WILL NOT eat chaval de hachette ... (yes, spelling probably is bad here...)

I'd forgotten about the sniping. This was the first time I'd heard about having a raw egg thrown on pizza without warning (but since I wasn't thered, I don't know whether it was in the menu description). I didn't re-read the thread before topping. I still haven't re-read it, but now I remember, unfortunately.
I'm usually game about trying just about anything, so I don't worry too much about not being able to read part of a menu. My position is that so long as it's not a raw egg, I'll try it. Unusual critters, body parts, plants, or spices are interesting to try. But until I read this, I never thought I could be hit with a raw egg on some simple familiar dish like pizza.

My wife and I oredered the Pizza Cap Ferrat, in Cap Ferrat of course. It came out of the incredibly hot oven and they dropped an egg in the middle of it. As they brought it to the table the egg set up (due to the intense heat). It was fantastic.
BTW, it isn't a raw egg once it sits on a 500 degree Pizza for a minite or two.
Also, BTW, who would have thought that there would be 2 threads on this subject.

ira, that made me smile.
I once heard comedian Jackie Mason do a riff on 'acquired tastes'. He felt that the tastes of vanilla ice cream, potato chips, and chocolate, never have to be acquired, because they taste good. On the other hand, items like Scotch, broccoli, and now, pizza with an egg on top, are called 'acquired tastes' because they taste BAD.

Hi
Unless it is your birthday (and want to imitate Mr Bean), the squeamish should avoid Steak Tartare.
Not only does it consist of raw beef, it arrives with a raw egg on top.

In fact, I quite often order it !
