It’s a pity there are no pizza delivery services in fairy tales. Given how so many of these stories revolve around food or the lack or it (see The Ant And The Grasshopper, Hansel And Gretel, Jack And The Beanstalk, etc), most fairy-tale protagonists could solve their problems by just ordering a nice big pepperoni pizza at the right moment....
This is especially so in the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The poor girl (who apparently doesn’t even have a proper name!) has to wander through a dark, wolf-infested forest by herself, to deliver a basket of food to her granny. Not only is she not given weapons, she’s also wearing a bright red hood that makes her extremely conspicuous to predators. I suspect her parents were deliberately trying to get her killed. How useful a pizza guy on a bike would have been.
