    So Maybe Pizza Originated in Pompeii?

    Joey’s go back to near the beginning of time a la the biblical Joseph: there’s no telling which one of them invented pizza.

    So Maybe Pizza Originated in Pompeii?

    Conflating flatbreads is intellectually disingenuous. Does it have toppings? Does it have a handle/crust? Does it get sliced? Does the pizzaiola have an ego about him?

    So Maybe Pizza Originated in Pompeii?

    Why do you think they called it the Hot Gates?

    So Maybe Pizza Originated in Pompeii?

    But was it sold and consumed in triangular slices? This kind of ambiguity needs a semi arbitrary organizing principle and slice style is as good a parameter as any.

    Roasting Your Own Beans

    I recently was given a few green coffee beans and did a simple roast -- no special equipment. I thought it was a lot of fun though and wanted to see if anybody else on the forums there is roasting their own coffee? Any tips would be appreciated, especially where you like to get your beans

    Box Pass 2023 Signup

    OGS, Stonehenge, Sweet Patrick, and Kentucky Club, all very fun. Had never tried 5100 before either. What really surprised me was how much I liked the '01 Edgeworth, which I had tried pretty late. I would have had a second bowl of it while I walked to the post office had it not been raining but...

    Meerschaum Soaking Experiment

    Re: Wax Perhaps someone can commission an unwaxed pipe, smoke it 500-1000 times pipe in a year style, and then remark the external coloring and saw it in half for us.

    Meerschaum Soaking Experiment

    30 seconds of hot water may not replicate pipe conditions - maybe very low on the stove in a small sauce pan?

    Meerschaum Soaking Experiment

    I think you also need a hypothesis - hence the first commentor's confusion. And if you're going to make a hypothesis, you might as well make a projection on what you think will happen and if you're wrong, drink the water:coffee:

    Reaming a Meerschaum

    Reaming a meerschaum should be done the way world super powers make war the way porcupines make love: very carefully

    Favorite “Plain” Tobacco

    It sounds like you're looking for blends that are two things: Untopped One or two varietals, no condimental leaves. I think HB, OJK, Pegasus etc are near but may be even too complex. I think you'll get a lot of straight VA's suggested as well that will hit these two requirements. Five...

    Any Tea Drinkers?

    I am a big fan of tea -- chinese black teas like Keemun or golden monkey are my favorites. Enjoy robust breakfast teas and assam. Always have a green on hand as well, sencha.

    Recommended Glue Brand?

    For pipes I have no idea though I like to glue my own leaves together to make a plug. Elmer’s is fine

    Recommend Moisture-Ready Blends With Mild Nic?

    Do you have a source for that? I would be very surprised if this were really the case. ^^see what I did there
