Peruvian Pizza

Let me just start be saying...we were both very hungry!

Puno has many restaurants and it can be very cumbersome to decide. Ian and I both share both a dedication to flexibility and a desire for the perfect meals. This often leads us to very belabored process of selecting a restaurant for dinner. This night was no exception.
After settling an honest looking pizza place, glimpse briefly at the menu and proceeded to order. Having previously fallen into the trap of ordering the largest pizza on the menu and being disappointed with the size. This time, that was not going to happen. Not even being slightly deterred by the nameSuper gigantico, we order the pie and pie. There were a couple warning signs I could have been conscious to. The reaction from our waiter could have been a give-away. The cost alone should have sounded an alarm. Nearly double the cost of a high priced meal was a small price to pay to avoid beingdoopped again.
If we had spent a minute to covert the 49cm advertised monstrosity into an understood unit, we would have know what we were getting ourselves into. Halfway though a game of cribbage, a pizza box was delivered to our undersized pizza stand otherwise know as the table.
19.29 inches of extra doughy, extra cheesy pizza lied before us. Sitting in front of a picture window on a busy street, two gringo´s began there quest to epitomize American Gluttony. With only four cuts across, the eight slicepartition was inferred as a clear challenge from the pizza makers. We were ready. As a representative of America and American everywhere, we made you proud. We finished that pizza and acted like it was any other one of the ten daily meals required in our country.
