If there’s one thing that elicits strong emotions from food lovers, it’s when one state stakes claim to a certain food. And anytime it involves pizza, it s bound to instigate a food fight.
Two New Haven, Connecticut legislators have proposed naming pizza as the official food of the Nutmeg State (ironically, not nutmeg). The legislation would amend chapter 33 of the Connecticut General Statutes to recognize the contribution of pizza to the state’s cuisine and economy.
