Going To The Fair (Page One)

We went at 10:00 AM on a Saturdays to miss the crowds and we managed to do that until about 4:00 PM when the place starts to fill up with people! We saw all of our favorite things but have to come back and make a second pass through it with Robin and family... It's tradition!

Did You Know? - The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese.

Modern pizza evolved from similar flatbread dishes in Naples, Italy in the 18th or early 19th century. Prior to that time, flatbread was often topped with ingredients such as garlic, salt, lard, cheese, and basil. It is uncertain when tomatoes were first added and there are many conflicting claims.

Until about 1830, pizza was sold from open-air stands and out of pizza bakeries, and pizzerias keep this old tradition alive today. Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba in Naples is widely regarded as the first pizzeria.
