Anchovies and tuna?

Non è quella!

Cheese

Anche non è quella!

Tomato and garlic isn’t it?

Very close. Two other ingredients though.

Mussels and prawns?

 

[D6130]

Mussels and prawns?

No....no fish or seafood involved.

 

[xotGD]

Basil and mozzarella?

 

[D6130]

Basil and mozzarella?

Afraid not.....it's tomato, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic and oregano. It's the original and simplest form of Neapolitan pizza. Definitely no cheese!

I'll let @SuspectUsual have it as they guessed two of the ingredients correctly. Buon appetito!

I'll try one, if I may.

Which town in continental Europe, holds a three-yearly festival / parade on the theme of cats; including giant effigies of said creatures -- a modern, sanitised version of the place's one-time cruel ritual of throwing live cats off a prominent high building there?

 

[Peterthegreat]

I believe that is Ypres in Belgium.

 

[Calthrop]

Spot-on, me old China -- Wipers it is ! You set the next one -- try and make it a real stinker...

(This event seems marvellously bonkers -- IMO, worth a look-at on Wiki. Key-word "Kattenstoet".)
