If there is such a thing as a healthy pizza then this would go close. Multi-grain thin crust, sliced tomato/zucchini/asparagus/mushrooms/onions/green pepper/olives/camembert and mozzarella cheese/fresh basil and some herbs.

Served it with coleslaw that had jalapeno peppers and Keens mustard, hot.

I had the urge to make pizza after seeing a face-book post of someone having El Greco's pizza and garlic fingers ordered in from HV-GB. Not that there is anything wrong with that; but then I have never seen the rational of ordering a big plate of garlic fingers before trying to eat a large pizza, but that is just me.

El Greco's is a restaurant in HV-GB, they serve up a very good souvlaki with a rice dish, but the pizza and garlic fingers I will leave for others.

For those not in the rub quite often people get fast food and Tim's ordered in to communities on the coast. Quite expensive take out if you have to pay the freight, some manage to get them brought in by family or friend or have other ways.

I can understand the urge for these things not having any place to eat out or take out, not in Nain any way, not a decent place any way.
Some of the other communities have small take out places, some have nothing.

While on the subject of not so nutritious food, the new Nutrition North program to ship affordable nutritious food into the North has taken a step back to the older program.

The Government of Canada has a tender out for CLAIMS PROCESSING SERVICES for the new program. The value of the services is from one to two million dollars over three years.

The aim is to acquire these services to overseer the claims and eligibility of the goods shipped under the Nutrition North program.

I am disappointed in NN farming out this work, last time that was done [under the food mail program] it turned out quite the disaster from a consumer perspective.

As the saying goes; the more things change the more they stay the same.

Do you deliver?

Maybe a lobby effort for a Nutrition South program would make the shipping cheaper, then you could avail of all the country foods too.
