Calling it "pide" would've been too pedestrian, I suppose. Pide is pretty
much the national food of Turkey. As much as hamburgers are the national
food of the US. Cooked on a flatbread that can be so flat as to be rollable,
or with some leavening, and available with as many toppings as can be found
on pizzas, such as eggs, lamb, pastirma, cheese, vegetables, et al.

For those in the northern New Jersey area, I can provide my personal
favorite supplier of pide...
