Letter: Putrefying pizza

Published 6 February 1999

From Andrew Colin

I enjoyed the item about Ötzi delicacies
(Feedback, 16 January).
It reminded me of an occasion about
25 years ago when I visited an Etruscan cemetery near
Rome. The list of fare at the local cafe included “Pizza
Necropolitana”—flavoured with mummy dust perhaps?
