Swedish Pizza

Have I mentioned that the Swedes are pizza crazy? Peter said he remembers the first pizzeria coming to Laholm in the early 70s. The trend caught on from there to say the least. Swedish pizza has a thin crust and is served with something called 'pizza salad' which is almost sauerkraut-y cabbage topped with oregano. Mmmm (NOT). Another distinguishing feature of Swedish pizza is the names: 'Disco' or 'UFO' pizza, anyone? The pizzas deserve their weird names because they feature weird ingredients and combinations. I decided to pass on the tuna and jalapeno combo, but couldn't resist trying the 'Bahamas' pizza, which featured bananas, pineapple and curry. If my niece is reading this, she is probably wondering how this compares to the Ethiopian omelette I once felt compelled to try for brunch in Portland. I am happy to report that the 'Bahamas' pizza was actually pretty good.
