Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.Press the pizza dough into a 12- to 14-inch round pizza pan. (Sometimes I use my stone, in which case you should preheat the stone for 30 minutes and roll your pizza dough on parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal.) Brush the surface and outer crust with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt.Spread the mozzarella over the pizza dough in an even layer. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus spears into thin ribbons, reserving the tips as well. Pile it all on top of the mozzarella. Dot the surface of the pizza with the garlic herb spread, then season with black pepper, to taste.Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the mozzarella cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes before slicing and serving.Source: Adapted from Annie's Eats, originally from The Tasty Kitchen Blog

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
