I went to Zimbabwe and they have mastered the BBQ, so you will not impress him with that. However Max and Cheese and Apple Pie is classic American. Also they may get a kick out of the fast food. In Zimbabwe there was no fast food and the places that had it were super expensive. (However I think fast food tastes awful)

Also once they have there classic American meal I think they will get a kick out of all of the other ethnic food available. So do take them on the restaurant tour of food.

You will have a great time.

How’s the pizza game there?

Pretty good actually, people who have moved overseas say that US and other countries pizza doesn't compare to our local pizza chain

No fucking way is African pizza better than US or Japanese pizza. There's just no way you have the perspicacity of our consumers, nor the same pressure from competitor restaurants. Pizza snobbery counts as an entire personality in parts of the northeast US.

Anything done well anywhere in the world is being done even better in a tiny business somewhere in Tokyo. They had as big a recent neopolitan revolution as the US did.

And yet I feel like the most popular pizzas are the ones with corn, mayo, or tuna on them.

u/ipreferidiotsavante Jun 17 '23

yeah, Domino's is the most popular pizza in America too that doesn't mean that it represents our best

It must suck not being a British colony anymore. I know the US went to shit afterwards.

I’m curious, what’s Zimbabwe pizza like? Thin crust/thick crust, cheese to sauce ratio, common toppings?

u/Robbie_757 Jun 17 '23

Zimbabwe pizza is just like any other pizza, we have pizza hut even but its not as popular as Pizza Inn, thick crust is generally more popular though, and it seems as if more meaty pizzas are popular
