You can’t trust ‘regional’ food at a US airport. Some of it is decent, but the supply chain is often national.
Bro got the palate of a latino 10 year old
Which is probably healthier than a lot of children in the US.
Nah man you see they used long words and therefore it’s fancy
Americans when they don’t translate the food:
It is pronounced “quasson” 🥐
More like a hot pocket
No one’s stopping you from microwaving your uncrustables.
In fact, Satan is egging you on.
You don’t want to put deviled eggs in a microwave
People who gatekeep fucking food can just shove it in their mouths and shut the fuck up.
Pizza gate keeping is amusing, no that isn’t real pizza! OK, wtf is it then?
I do think a lot of things called pizza should be called flatbreads or something, but this is the first time I’ve ever expressed that opinion. It’s just not that important.
I would normally think of flatbread as plain bread. When its covered in typical pizza toppings, now its pizza
That question has a clear and very simple answer that most people dont like because it doesn’t correspond to their version of it.
The Wikipedia page sums it up:
Region or state
Naples, Campania
And
Raffaele Esposito is often credited with creating the modern version of pizza in Naples at the end of the 19th century. In 2009, Neapolitan pizza was registered with the European Union as a traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG) dish. In 2017, the art of making Neapolitan pizza was included on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage.
Pizza = Neapolitan pizza. Everything else is a variation (and that’s fine).
Sure, I’ll accept that. Pizza didn’t exist until 2009.
Or, more seriously, are you saying pizza was invented in 1889 in naples, years after people were selling pizza in New York?
Later research cast doubt on this legend, undermining the authenticity of the letter of recognition, pointing that no media of the period reported about the supposed visit and that both the story and name Margherita were first promoted in the 1930s–1940s.
Like all things pizza, everyone claims to be the first and they’re all liars.
If you demand true authenticity, accept nothing after the early 990s oiled flatbreads with buffalo cheese, sharing a common ancestor with pita. Because you’re not going to find an actual origin for who, where or how people first “properly” put stuff on their bread when we’ve been eating bread and stuff for all of human history.
It’s like saying that the only real sandwich is a single slice of salt beef between two slices of toasted bread with no toppings or condiments. Everything else is just some manner of dumpling.
That oiled cheesy pizza sounds good to me. But then I am probably the weirdo who actually wants to try the 1000+ year old foods, not the modern processed food imitations of them.
Modern food isn’t an “imitation” of older foods. It’s just food.
That one in particular is still super popular. Go to the store, buy a pita. Brush oil on it and sprinkle with some feta or a mozzarella bake to melt the cheese but don’t crisp the bread. Maybe grate some parmesan cheese. Depending on your store they might just sell it. Mine does, although technically focaccia is allowed to rise while early pizza/pitta wasn’t.And I hate to break into you, but bread is a processed food. So is oil. And cheese. You can’t find a loaf of bread growing on a tree. You can’t even find most of the ingredients in the wild: you pick the grass, remove the seeds, dry them, crush them into a powder while possibly removing some parts, and then mix it with other things, including but not limited to: the residue of seeds and nuts crushed into oblivion, processed and separated milk solids, and a hearty dose of preservatives (salt).
If you’re going ancient you also need to add some sand, since the mills were so garbage they left sand in the food. The way it etched peoples teeth is part of how we can tell dietary makeup.
Ultra processed then if you want to be pedantic
Well I have experienced Non-Real Pizza when I moved to the west coast, a few BC places just gave you cheese on bread with toppings with no tomato sauce. Sacrilegious.
I’ve tried to explain to a few places (who do use tomato sauve) that they shoukd ouble the sauce they put on for a better flavour.
Sounds like a pizza to me. Maybe not a variant of it that you like, but still pizza.
Cannibals agree.
Over airport food no less
There are several airports that I travel through regularly that have absolute shit when it comes to food.
For several of them I’m stuck steering towards the least offensive options.
People who gatekeep fucking food …
How about we don’t fuck food at all
Whoa. You’re the worst kind of gatekeeper. Simultaneously gatekeeping food and kink shaming.
Then you explain it to your mother. That pie was supposed to be for eating, not for sating your carnal lust.
Now you’re gatekeeping camel lust? We ought to chuck you in the horny hole
Camel Lust?
Must be the eyelashes. I get it.
Bactrian or Dromedary?
Any humpie will do
Do the humptie hump.
If your Puritan morales are getting in the way of eating it, that sounds like something you need to come to terms with.
You think it is morally OK to eat a fruit pie filled with your own son’s semen?
Answer quick, the FBI watch list guy is waiting.
Have I been watching too many episodes of “family pies”?
I consider myself lucky to not have to eat at airports. When I fly, it’s usually direct flights, so I only have to wait maybe an hour before a flight. Not worth it (for me) where things are 2-3 times higher than already ridiculous prices.
You can talk all the shit you want about MIA as the airport logistics and operations are trash, but the $6 empanadas at Versailles, la carreta on gate D37 and a couple of standalone empanada places are the best food at MIA by leaps and bounds, and way safer than any of the sushi, sandwich other of the microwave to table restaurants there.

I usually have second thoughts about eating food made by someone who knows his customers will be a thousand miles away when the dysentery hits.
Flying to Oregan, “You have died of dysentery.”
Just like in the simulations.
Airports aside, I love it when people assume just because you like cheap food, it means you can’t stomach or don’t love good food, too.
I think it’s weird that eating pizza is somehow a sign of someone who lacks the correct values or something
Pizza also really isn’t that bad, if it’s not too greasy. Flat bread, tomatoes and cheese. There’s nothing wrong with that if you don’t eat the whole pie.
F’real man. Like, I love all sorts of food, but nothing hits quite like a really shitty cheap pizza, with that “cheese” that just comes off in a flat sheet.
Yeah. When I eat Taco Bell, it’s not because I want Mexican food. It’s because I want Taco Bell.
There’s a certain itch that good food can’t scratch.
How do you feel about shit-tier ice cream? Like knockoff hoodsie cups, or store brand ice cream sandwiches?
One of Gordon Ramsey’s all time favorites in an IN-N-OUT burger.
I had In-N-Out like 3 times and though it was just sub-par.
The next time, I sat there for a few minutes and listened to other people order and herard animal style a few times.
I have no idea why they don’t just default their stuff that way. it went from tasteless generic to kick ass.
At least it’s not grilled cheese.
“I spent way too much instead of eating before I left and need to make this about being better than everyone else.”
Comfort food has nothing to do with health and nutrition unless your momma use to make you kale salad and organic quinoa bowls, which she didn’t.
Hey, I make my kids kale salad and
organicquinoa bowls.
“beef empanada” Either use name of the dish in the original language or in your 💔
The airport is a lawless place. 7AM? Have a beer. Tired? Sleep on the floor. Hungry? Chips now cost $17.
I’ve been more than one place in the US that won’t sell alcohol before a certain hour. Like MF I’ve been up for 20 hours, my body thinks it’s midnight and I just want a damn beer.
The airport is a wild place to judge and gatekeep others. Everyone is stuck there waiting, and depending on specifically where, you have limited access to anything brought-in and are at the mercy of massively overpriced options.
Also the comment is right, the Beff Empenada is just some.boring ass basic shit but they gave it a fancy name.
If they called the burger a “Beef Slabion con Quisito” or some shit to make it spunds fancy and foreign, he wouldn’t complain.
So an empanada isn’t a rare delicacy or anything, but it’s a stretch to say that they just gave it a fancy name. It’s not being fancy to call a food by its name, and it’s not even foreign for a food to have a Spanish name in Miami.
Right? Captive “audience.”
It’s also pretty poor vs. poor. If you’re going to gate keep the airport, where is the flex about some high tier lounge where you had a beer with a B-list celeb and they served whatever ridiculous stuff they claim those lounges have to sell passes? Lobster ravioli made by some Italian chef from Maine or whatever.
I aint see no celebs, but last time i flew my sister and her husband had a couple guess passes. It was great. Still pretty crowded, but especially once they flew out and i snagged a personal booth… whewweee it was worth it. At the price of nothing.
I dont fly often enough to give a dam, but for people who fly regularly it might be worth checking. My brother in law isnt rich afaik, but he definitely has a well paying job and is responsible. Travel is their big thing, so I see how it makes sense for them.
My spouse and I fly a lot, and have a credit card where we can get an annual pass for the price of going once. But that’s for the lowest tier, cattle call lounge. The business class lounges for individual airlines are usually nicer.
It varies by airport, but by the time I get a beer, some food, some coffee, etc. I’ve already saved $80.
Comfort food is about emotion, not quality.
I will happily munch on an Easyjet snack pack because it’s all I could afford as a student and I rarely feel hungry on short flights anyway… and so here I am thirty years later, as happy as can be with my tiny Vache Qui Rit on a salt cracker 😅
