Wonderful! Santa knew just what to get you (and the pizza looks terrific as well!)!

Best,

Dan. (...who is suddenly hungry...)

All home made.....if you make it to Scotland I shall make you pizza. Last time the kids ordered from Dominoes, ( three kids and 'er indoors plus me) the bill was £72 ! I nearly - well I did - freak out - big time.....the kids couldn't understand why! Now I make our own, twice as good and a tenth of the cost. If only I could heat up the leftover slices in my 'bar bag. Ideas anyone?

£72!!!  :o Then, yours should be worth roughly £144, as it looks twice as good! (and a terrific offer; thanks! Mmm! Are those anchovies?)

Pizza choice for me here in the States is Papa Murphy's take-and-bake. They have no ovens, and there's no cooking onsite. They assemble the cold ingredients on the dough, you take it home, and bake it. Hmm. Might we see PapaJoe's in Scotland soon?

As for re-heating on the road, I've done 'xperiments (yes, for the punsters, "spearmint" is always good!), and found a dark-colored box can accumulate a great deal of heat in desert sunlight -- enough to thoroughly re-heat food in a very few minutes, and I think it has possibilities for baking-whilst-cycling. Trouble is, those conditions are the very last where I'd crave hot food!

Good choice to not fit mudguards on this one...!

All the best,

Dan.

Pizza in a bar bag, may soon be possible. The US military are working in a shelf stable pizza for MRE's  and with the flame less ration heater bag, you can have hot too. Unfortunately due to restrictions on size and weight it is only going to be a small slice.

Hmm. Somehow, I think Joe's pizza would be more appetising. Eating highly acidic pizza with iron filings just doesn't excite my palate, I'm afraid...

I too am mortified at the cost of pizza in Scotland. How many pizzas were in that order? £72 is A$133 today, which I'm sure is at least 6 family-size pies!

(We make our own as well, just because it's fun!  :D)
