The No Holds Barred Pizza Toppings Thread

[Orang Utan]

the simpler the better I'm inclined to think - I always regret getting greedy with the toppings

Of course pizza has tomato sauce.

Not before tomatoes were brought to Italy, they didn't. And there are several good pizzas which maintain that tradition.

Americans shouldn't be allowed near pizza. Or coffee.

 

[kabbes]

Quatro Staggioni!

Or possibly Cappriciosa.

I like a vegetarian pizza too though.

 

[berniedicters]

Perhaps. It never occurred to me that the British were heathens when it came to pizza. Of course pizza has tomato sauce. Next thing you'll tell me is you prefer thin crust pizza!

The original Italian pizza was a thin crust effort, at least according to Elizabeth David...

*runs and hides*

... and where did those tomatoes originate? The Americas! Just be glad we didn't put squash or beans on your pizza.

When I was in the pizza trade we cooked some stormers

Some French people we know were talking about American coffee last week. They call it "jus de chaussettes", which translates as "sock juice", or what you'd get by wringing out a pair of damp, used socks.

I can kinda see wheer they're coming from on this, having drunk both American and French coffee.

The Americans do some food things extraordinarily well. They are unwise to try and compete, most of the time, with Europeans on things that they already do extraordinarily well, and I think that includes coffee and pizza.

But it takes Europeans to show you how to use them.

The French being patronizing and arrogant? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

a friend of the family takes coffee with him to other people's houses cos he's such a snob about it. He'd probably spit in your face if you presented him with a Nescafe

In Italy you would be regarded as cultural vermin and promptly barred from interacting with civilised society.

<shakes head forlornly>

 

[danny la rouge]

As is right and proper. But I'd prefer that (spit included) to American "coffee".

(Taking your own coffee to other people's houses, btw! LOL. I seriously consider it every time I have to spend more than a day or two at the in-laws', but I've never actually done it. ).

 

[FridgeMagnet]

That's a kebab for people with no pitta bread.

The ones I'm thinking of do have cheese on them as well. I didn't mention that as I thought it was a given.

 

[Orang Utan]

the only coffee I've really really liked has been in foreign. Esp in Italy.

Cheesy kebab.

I wouldn't use Nescafe to clean my toilet.

 

[danny la rouge]

No; that's what Coke is for.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

No; that's what Coke is for.

It does do a good job at that.

 

[danny la rouge]

Exactly. QED.

 

[Gromit]

I've had coffee abroad that you could strip metal with. Greece has this especially nasty coffee which was left a film of grit in your mouth.

at home, I only drink coffee as a legal pick me up, so I have this stuff that's in a jar shaped like a WW2 bomb that's called Rocket Fuel and also contains guarana. It wakes you up rather rudely.

"burn the deep dish heretics" - wtf

we're not bleedin' witches

 

[Orang Utan]

you're way worse than that

 

[danny la rouge]

we're not bleedin' witches

That's the point; you mustn't bleed witches. That's why you have to drown or burn them.

 

[Yetman]

and I thought you were one of the good guys. I feel betrayed and disillusioned.

We all have our filthy secrets

[Dillinger4]

Witches are human.

Deep dish fanatics are subhuman.

They must be exterminated.

 

[internetstalker]

veggie pizza's for me! olives, peppers sweet corn, onion, chili's optional

or a fiorentina pizza (egg in the middle, with spinach, often folded over)

I think I'd rather drink Coke--after its been used to clean my toilet.

Is that the stuff that heats itself?
