| - As a proud Tamil-Canadian with roots in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, I grew up on mouthwatering, aromatic spices, chutneys, and the carby wonders of kothu roti. Imagine my excitement upon discovering that Descendant combined allathese elements in my favourite food group: pizza!
As I sunk my teeth into the aptly named 'Jaffna' pizza, my tastebuds drowning in the scrumptious and heady mix of sweet and spicy, textured flavours on cheese pizza, my neurons went haywire. Kothu roti, mango chutney, cilantro, onion, chilies, coconut sambol...oh my! I momentarily died and was transported to the heaven of my simple, sunny childhood of scraped knees, mango trees and the aromas and tastes of Amma's cooking. When I finally came to, I found that the pizza was finished and my date was in a similar comatose state. I AM NOT PRONE TO EXAGGERATION. This happened. I must somehow obtain the Jaffna pizza recipe, attempt to replicate it, and make this my life's work. I will be returning to this cozy pizza joint, and bringing my entire village with me!
