Hi, You said cuka. By that do you mean, "Kuchen"? My family said, "cuka" but everyone I've spoken with for several years disagrees with our pronunciation, including a waitress from Germany. I hope that's what you meant so I find someone else who says it the way my family did!! I guess that sometimes small things mean a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "edgehanger" <edgehanger@insightbb.com> To: <kyjeffer@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [KYJEFFER] World without Pizza, Amen Pizza for me in the 60's was Lentini's and Caladrino's, both on Bardstown Road. My first date with my husband we went to Lentini't after the movie. They gave you black olives on it for free. I remember asking my dad why my italian grandmother never made pizza, since she made all sorts of awesome italian dishes. He said that I would not like her pizza, it was not like the ones that I was used to. It was sicilian and had a thick crust like a cuka (sp) If I was older I could have made money on introduciong thick crust pizza! Jen
