Joey Tafuro just got back from a whirlwind trip through Africa and Asia. And, a man after my own culinary heart, he made it a point to try Beer and Pizza in many of the countries he visited. His taste tests are chronicled in a blog series called [drum roll] … Beer & Pizza Review. What were you expecting?

The interesting thing about pizza in Cambodia is that lots of shops are called “Happy Herb Pizza” or “Happy Pizza” and that is basically a pizza with THC cooked into it or magic mushrooms. You can tell by the name of the place and the picture usually has a crazy bloodshot eyed cartoon character eating it. I did not try any so I have no review on the pizza itself although it is completely legal in both Laos and Cambodia.

Try pulling that off in the States. Or anywhere else in the developed world. That’s why I love travel - you can always expect the unexpected.

Happy Herb Pizza even has a website. And they deliver! What kind of tip would be appropriate for delivering a pizza seven thousand miles away to my house?

I have tried it. Nothing happened for 45 minutes then it got very strange. Had to go home but despite probably going at 20mph I thought we were breaking the speed limit. I also was terrified that I was being kidnapped.

I got back to my room where the scratchings of every imagined cockroach and rat was horrifically amplified not to mention the near-ear screech of mosquitoes.

I finally fell into a sleep full of nightmares and I slept for around 14 hours.

All in all I don’t recommend it.

Good god. So other than that, it was a good time?
