| In America you are innocent until proven guilty....? Posted: 08 May 2011 01:03 AM PDT ...Why does Italy uphold guilty until proven innocent? I'm not sure just how many countries fall into each category but isn't it undemocratic to first place guilt on the person and then find their innocence has to be proven? Answer on In America you are innocent until proven guilty....? In English speaking countries, we use the common law as the basis of our legal system. In its origins, the Norman French occupied England, which was largely unsettled and not at all well policed. So it became relatively easy to have someone charged with a crime, since witnesses were rare. Juries were used to decide guilt and the facts of the case because the Normans did not speak the vernacular very well. Over time, the burden of proof was placed upon the accuser, later the Crown. It has been that way in our system for nearly a eight hundred years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law The origins of law in France, Italy, Spain and a few other places, they follow what is called "civil law," which also includes criminal law. The historical antecedents of that system are the Code Justinian, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Juris_Civil… church law, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_law the customary law of the place, and the Code Napoleon, which was a re-codification of existing law. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_code Under that system, it is the duty of the state to investigate crimes and to only bring charges if there is sufficient evidence to justify them. If accused, the defendant has the duty to try to show the state where it is was wrong in its investigation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof My preference is in favor of our system, but in many places in Europe they have gotten by with the other system. I believe that the difference between the two systems reflects the continental acceptance of authority. English speaking people have historically had weaker governments, caused largely by a greater skepticism concerning government. |
| French Bread Pizza Originated Where? Posted: 07 May 2011 07:31 AM PDT is french bread pizza from italy or france? Answer on French Bread Pizza Originated Where? AMERICAN PIZZA TYPES: Today's American pizzas resemble their Italian ancestors, but have taken a different form: Classic American Pizza: but have evolved into a thicker and chewy crust, spread with a thick tomato based sauce and covered with mozzarella cheese. They are often topped with multiple ingredients and there's no limit to how you can prepare your pizza and the toppings you use. The American pizza is typically 12 - 14 inches round and 1/2-inch thick in the middle. The edges are made slightly thicker than the middle in order to form a rim around the edge of the pan. Deep Dish Pizza, also known as pan pizza, was invented in Chicago, it has a thick crust and is baked in a deep dish pizza pan, basically a round baking pan with 2 - 3-inch sides. It dense with toppings. New York Style Pizza Pizzas from neighborhood pizza parlors in New York tend to be more like a traditional Italian pizza. Calzone The uncooked crust is filled with traditional topping then folded and baked. Bagel Pizza Made with bagel slices as the crust. Pizza Bread Also known as French bread pizza, is made from a French bread loaf that is usually sliced down the center into two halves. It is then topped with sauce and cheese.

Simply open the box and bake or microwave. 00000000000000000000000000000000000000… THE COMPONENTS OF A PIZZA: You can still make a great pizza without having to make the dough from scratch. Stop in your local pizza shop and ask them to sell you a pound or two of dough. Supermarkets carry fresh or frozen pizza dough Now you can't expect the same flavor as pizza made from scratch, but the taste will be good. P.S. And, I won't tell !! American pizza consists of a crust, sauce, cheese and/or other toppings. The thing to remember is that all components must be compatible, bake together and be done at the same time, otherwise the pizza recipe won't work. 1. Crust: The crust is yeast leavened and a wheat flour based, usually from all-purpose flour, but can be either a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour or bread flour. Olive or vegetable oil is added to the pizza dough. Sometimes milk is included, making a softer crust that browns well and adds flavor. 2. Sauce: The sauce is usually tomato based and seasoned to taste with oregano, basil and other spices. It can be cooked or fresh. I have even used a pesto sauce instead of tomato sauce in my pizzas. 3. Cheese: Cheese is perhaps the best part of the pizza. It is supposed to go on top of the sauce immediately after it is put on. Traditionally the cheese of choice is mozzarella because when baked, it has a soft, elastic consistency. It can be grated, which is preferable or thinly sliced so it will melt more evenly. Use packaged from the grocery store because sadly, homemade is too moist. Because mozzarella is not as flavorful as I'd like, other cheeses can be included. For example, I sprinkle of parmesan cheese on the sauce before the mozzarella goes on. 4. Toppings & Extras: (Recipes) (The sauce and cheese are often referred to as toppings). Toppings and extras are usually a matter of preference and there is no limit to how you can prepare your pizza and what you use. They can include a number of different vegetables, meats or a combination of both, such as mushrooms, black or green olives, bell pepper, onion, pepperoni, Italian sausage, salami, anchovies, cooked chicken or pork.
