What is this, you may ask? A random grocery list? Oh no, my friends. The list above shows all the ingredients we found on our recent Domino’s Pizza this past Saturday night.
It was raining like crazy outside, I was battling a cold and Brad was being a sweet, attentive husband trying to take care of me. Dinner, therefore, was up to him. Before I knew it, we had a Domino’s delivery guy fully armed for the elements in head to toe rain gear handing over a piping hot cardboard box. Inside that box was what is called the Quattro Camembert Mille Feuille. Pardonnez-moi?
We opened the pizza box to find the strangest pizza I have ever seen in my life. There is no possible way that I would ever dream up this combination of pizza toppings. Nor would I have thought to make a mille fuille style pizza. However, as you read in the title, it was disgustingly delicious.
Every bite I took was like a tug of war. My head was saying, “You idiot! This is not meant to be eaten!” while my taste buds were saying, “This is the greatest pizza that has ever been!” Total confusion.
The Japanese people do not particularly enjoy cheese. Apparently the flavor is somewhat of a problem for them. The Camembert here, however, is an obsession. Kids love it the way I used to love Fruit by the Foot. As a result of this distaste for cheese, the cheese manufacturers are always looking for ways to get the Japanese people to eat and buy more of it. Domino’s must be getting paid a boatload of yen to deliver this artery clogging, lactose intolerance inducing pizza.
Basically, the pizza was made up like this, starting at the bottom:
- crust
- layer of melted Camembert cheese
- crust
- pizza sauce
- cheese
- insane toppings separated into four quadrants
Yep. That’s about it. Japan has given me the experience of eating the most unimaginable pizza ever. Domo arigatou.
