translates as "Canadian".
Although the question about the super-easy class didn't have any correct answers, since, of course, they are properly known as "bird courses".

and I have to agree with her on the super-easy class question too.
I think they also need to add the following question, just for thoroughness:
What do you call a pizza with everything on it?

Pretty interesting, considering I speak Australian!
Heather, I would call that sort of pizza a 'supreme'. What are the other options?
Timothy, on Saturday, May 27, 2006 at 9:34 AM:
That would be "All Dressed" or "Full Dressed"
See - I'm bi-lingual! (I speak Canadian - eh)

Um, interesting results, considering I grew up in the MIDWEST. Also, there were no references to 'bubbler' (the Milwaukee word for 'drinking fountain') or 'kringle' (Danish pastry)...
