Japanese Pizza Random or Ingenious?

As I read Greg Scott's article What the Japanese Put on Pizza I thought of how I have become very conservative with the toppings on my pizza. I thought I was such a rebel when I decided to have pineapple with pepperoni on my pizza instead of ham. But Greg questioned our American way of Pizza  as to where has our creativity gone?

Seafood 
In his is article he talks about how a variety of seafood is put in pizza. We as Americans have limited our seafood to sardines and maybe shrimp. Japanese dare to put squid, octopus, scallops, salmon and clam  on their pizza.

Egging your Pizza 
What I found interesting in Gregs article is Japanese also put fried egg on their pizza. Although my first though of an egg being anywhere my pizza was ridiculous. The more I thought about it, the more the idea started appealing to me. It made me think of a breakfast sandwich I made myself one morning and having the combination of yolk and bread was so amazing. Having the thought of an egg in my pizza had started to appeal to me.

Vegetable You didn't think of Putting in Your Pizza
Putting vegetable in your pizza would have been a great way to eat pizza guilty free. Also wold helped wing an argument against your mother about eating your vegetables. Vegetable that are found in Japanese pizza would be corn, ginger, nori (seaweed), eggplant, however traditional toppings such as onion, mushroom, and peppers do make an appearance.

The sky is the limit. Food can be so creative and we should not limit ourselves in exploration of new foods. It may not always come out good but there are times where you will find a great combination that works for you.
