Are you inserting this thinking I wouldn't know how it was pronounced?

FWIW, that's my mom's side of the family: her dad's, specifically. That "side of me" came from up and down Hwy 72.
If you told me you had some macarroni salad ... that would have shocked me. A few bites of pizza? Not so much. I can't remember ever finding someone who, just flat out, didn't eat pizza.
I caught an interview where a guy was talking about eating at one of these and how it reminded him, to the bite, of how it tasted when he was a kid. My problem? He looked like he was 20 years younger. And that's not the PH I remember, ya know?
Now ya got me thinking about the salad bar Ruby Tuesday's had ... lord, that's another I miss. In my view, for $10, but was a pretty good "sit down" lunch 20 years ago.
