What do you like on your elastic loaf?

[RagingInMiami]

I like pepperoni. To me, an elastic loaf is not an elastic loaf without pepperoni. I also like garlic and onions. That is the essential elastic loaf to suit my tastes.

But it has to be fresh garlic. None of this crap they put in a jar and soak in some liquid that they say is olive oil, but is most likely hydrogenated oil.

I wonder what the Iranians will put on their elastic loaves now that they're not allowed to call them pizzas? Freedom falafels?




TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered government and cultural bodies to use modified Persian words to replace foreign words that have crept into the language, such as "pizzas" which will now be known as "elastic loaves," state media reported Saturday.

The presidential decree, issued earlier this week, orders all governmental agencies, newspapers and publications to use words deemed more appropriate by the official language watchdog, the Farhangestan Zaban e Farsi, or Persian Academy, the Irna official news agency reported.

The academy has introduced more than 2,000 words as alternatives for some of the foreign words that have become commonly used in
Iran, mostly from Western languages. The government is less sensitive about Arabic words, because the Quran is written in Arabic.

Among other changes, a "chat" will become a "short talk" and a "cabin" will be renamed a "small room," according to official Web site of the academy.
