Last Call: Mustard Pizza Divides The Internet

Pizza toppings can be contentious, especially if those toppings involve pineapple. But move over, spiky tropical fruit, because there's a new 'za controversy in town. Lions & Tigers & Squares, a Detroit-style pizzeria in New York, has announced a pizza that replaces tomato sauce with mustard and tops it with corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese.

Inspired take on a classic? Or the most disgusting thing ever created? Without tasting, hard to say. But of course, that isn't going to stop the folks on Twitter from chiming in:

To all yall that complain about pineapples on pizza, THIS pizza with mustard on it is what yall should be disgusted with instead 🤢 https://t.co/hxtMXaqIwl

Then, it gets worse.

Hey @InsiderFood, mustard on pizza sounds great, but we've heard over 8 thousand people say that they put ketchup on their pizza. Are you #TeamKetchup or #TeamMustard?#NationalCheesePizzaDay

Living in Montana, I've learned more about fly fishing via osmosis than I thought possible. It doesn't hurt that my boyfriend is a big fan of the pursuit, and has even tried to teach me to tie flies with the fancy feathers and hackle he keeps in a dedicated table in our basement. (I tend to gravitate too much toward the sparkly ones, I'm told.) Anyway, I enjoyed a recent This American Life podcast about a fly-fishing feather heist that also happens to involve an uber-expensive flute. It's worth a listen. [Kate Bernot]
