Just a coincidence. I make this pizza every week or two IRL, when I have the parts on hand, and when I wanted to throw in a reference to G doing some of the cooking, that was the first thing that popped into my head. He's not going to be trying to make belgad shyam in 1946, after all. :)

(I probably had it in mind when I mentioned that some of the supplies in the May drop were rations from Romagna, as well. That's probably where the sauce came from.)

I'm not sure. Remilia often puts it in tea, which is near-boiling water and presumably denatures the proteins, but that may be just for flavor and not strictly sustenance.

(Regardless, the usual custom at SDM is for the vampire residents to sanguinate to taste à la table, for the sake of courtesy to those fellow diners who would prefer not to have human blood in their food as it comes from the kitchen—a habit Remilia developed during the early time-bubble nights and just kept doing after there was no one around to be courteous to any more. And Flan generally just takes hers neat; she never developed Remilia's taste for spiking other foods and drinks with it.)
