I went over to my friend’s house for dinner the other day. There were four of us and we were looking forward to the meal. You see, my friend is a little bit of a foodie.
So we sat down at the dinner table and on each of our plates was a slice of frozen pizza. We each took a quick glance at each other, but hey, this must be some nouveau-food thing. As I poured myself a glass of grape soda, our host sat down and said “dig in.”
Feeling a little weird, I took a bite of the frozen slab, or I tried to. It was a block of ice. I ground down and my teeth sheared off little plasticy flecks of frozen processed cheese which fell on my shirt. But a little more pressure and snap! The frozen pizza cracked into five or six chunks of ice. One of them lodged in my windpipe and I died.
I should have paid attention to the warning on the box.
Aha ha, yes, we have it everywhere here, only in many more words. Here it says “This is a deep-frozen product, and it must be eaten only after cooking it”.
You see? They even tell you it’s deep-frozen food, just in case you didn’t notice 😀
Food labels can be so ridiculous…

They need to point out it is frozen? Wasn’t the fact that it was in the freezer a giveaway?

Apparently they think that the average Italian can’t tell the freezer from the oven… (they might be right, at that)

What are you doing with frozen microwave pizza anyway? I’d have thought processed pizza like that would be unthinkable overt there!

Obviously, serious people refuse to even think of it (the majority), but unfortunately there are people who think it’s a good idea here, as well 😦
The writing I reported above, however, is the standard one on all frozen foods, not just pizza; so, while I agree that any Italian willing to eat frozen pizza is also stupid enough not to be able to tell it is frozen, I wonder why they deemed it necessary to treat all the others like morons, too… >__>’

There should be a G.I. Joe warning us about this at the end of one of their cartoons.
