I've never had any sort of whacko binge-eating episode like that in my life. I was pathetically grateful that the Walmart delivery guy (Fedex or UPS, don't remember) didn't have X-ray eyes and know what was inside that HUGE box....it's bad enough he saw me with my cellulitis foot/leg, the bathrobe (I hereby vote that we bring back the tradition of dressing gowns as respectable, btw!), my hair looking as though it hadn't seen a shower in weeks (cough cough, as if it had...) and all that. If he'd seen the {mumble} boxes of Stroopwaffels in there, I'd have died of mortification.

You should visit the Netherlands. You can get fresh stroopwafels on every outdoor market. They make the fresh at their market stall. Though from what I understand the American stroopwafel is different from the Dutch. Here they put a thick syrup (stroop) in between the cookies, in the US they use caramel from what I've heard.
The market stalls also sell bags of cookie crumbs/pieces (no stroop), which are delicious. Now I have to go to the local market on Wednesday to get a bag.
Re pizza:
I've eaten pizza in Sicily when I did a teaching placement there. Best pizzas ever! However, I think the whole outrage of some about pineapple on pizza is invalidated by the fact that they sell pizzas with french fries on them. And, like Hitch, they don't see a frozen pizza as complete; they always add fresh ingredients to it and scoff people who don't do that.
