Pizza Monster

Yesterday was a very lazy day for husband and I. Da husband had managed to sleep about 9 hours in total in the past 48 or 56 hours cos he went to some big Rock Festival that took him and his friends 5 hours to drive to, ONE WAY. He left at 6.30am Saturday morning and came back about 7am on Sunday and had not slept a wink.

Being da faithful wife that I am, I tried to stay up as late as I could Saturday night just so that when he came back on Sunday, I would be able to sleep in late with da husband cos he is a light sleeper and I did not want to be awake and clattering about when he was trying to sleep.

I'm such a loyal wife, right? ;D Bwahaha!

So anyway, neither one of us had the energy to think about lunch and I certainly was in no shape to cook cos I could hardly move around with the pains in my body that day. The best alternative was of cos PIZZA!

In Sweden, pizza is one of the favourite fastfoods of the common people along with burgers and kebabs. And unlike in Singapore where it comes in small, medium or large, pizzas in Sweden come in only 2 sizes, normal or family size. My entire time living here, I had only eaten the normal size pizza and I have learnt that a normal size pizza is the portion that Swedes consider suitable for 1-2 persons even though it is the size of a LARGE pizza in Singapore. The fact that da pizzas here are thin crust makes up for that discrepancy, I guess.

But yesterday, husband dear wanted enough pizza so that there would be leftovers for dinner so instead of thinking, hey let's get the normal pizza and eat less so we'd have leftovers, he decided to get a family size pizza.

I did not follow the man to the pizzeria but even without opening the box, I realised what a monster of a pizza this one was. And when I opened it, this was what I found inside...

One side of the pizza box is longer than my arm!

My gorilla hand could not even cover one eighth of the pizza. MASSIVE!

To prove that Swedes love their pizzas here, husband told me the only question our pizza guy asked him as he handed over the massive pizzabox and the man's response to husband's reply.

Pizza guy: Is there going to be 4 of you today?
Husband: Nope. Just me and da wife but we wanted enough pizza to last 2 meals.
Pizza guy: (understanding and winking with da thumbs up sign) Excellent idea!

He did not even flinch or consider it strange that 2 people can consume this Frankenstein pizza over only 2 meals. I wonder how big a family this pizza could feed in other countries.
