I don’t know if this is a real thing, but it makes me want to cry.
Has anyone asked the Polish if they’re ok?
Not since the 17th century.
I’m Portuguese and I’ve seen that abomination here. I’m sorry, I thought it was contained. Now, have you guys heard about chocolate pizza for dessert?
Nutella is an Italian invention
I’ve been to the USA, I’ve seen dessert pizza.
isn’t that just pie with extra steps
I think it’s pie with the same amount of steps.
Pineapple banana pizza with pannacotta.
If it’s not baked that actually sounds delicious.
Are you being forced to eat it? If not I’d say stop giving a fuck so hard about what other people like or how they live their lives by things that shouldn’t affect you. You can’t control them. Live and let live. That’s the feel.
And if you’re still not satisfied and have the burning desire to feel outraged, Find something for real to be outrageous about. Like current wars or stupid candidates or fixing up dumb city laws that hurt innocent citizens. Go to a rally to defend some human rights or something like that. Get juicy with your rage.
Are you ok?? Is everything fine ?
I actually don’t mind pineapple on pizza, but let me say that after reading this post I understand the haters if this is how they see it
Pizzas are just open-faced sandwiches. Anything you can put in a sandwich, you can put on a pizza.
Completely different dough in terms of consistency and taste. Bread and pizza are quite different, so many ingredients that work on pizza don’t work on sandwiches and vice versa. Having said that, people can eat what they please.
To (controversially) go one step further, all unsweetened carbohydrate bases are interchangeable.
You can put pasta topping on a pizza, you can put pizza topping on rice, you can put toastie fillings on a potato waffle and it always ends up nice.
You can do anything, and all of those are edible, but pizza topping on rice? Oh man…
Mix rice up with tomato sauce, melt a bit of mozzarella cheese in, some slices of pepperoni in it, sprinkle in some basil and oregano… check behind you that nobody can see you commit culinary crimes… delicious.
This seems sounds this is a good metric on the surface, but let’s try it out.
Corned beef on pizza? Sounds great. Sauerkraut? Uhh, ok, maybe. Mayonnaise? What the actual fuck…

Iowans love putting ranch dressing on pizza lol
Mayonnaise? What the actual fuck…
Umm ok well…listen, now hear me out here
Got a friend who eats mayo on pizza. Trying to not be judgey, but I did gag a little just hearing it.
Hear me out, but pickle pizza is pretty damn good. The sauce is mayo, sour cream, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Sauerkraut on pizza is amazing. Come to Minnesota and go to Red’s Savoy, it’s great.
A Mediterranean Smörgåsbord. Anyone for pickled herring on their pizza.

For what is worth, that’s not how (most?) Italians think about pizza. It’s not a “container” in which you put a bunch of things, but each pizza type is basically a separate dish.
I personally don’t care what people put on their pizza, I simply avoid places that make “pizzas” in a non-italian fashion, like the american (supposedly NY style) ones where you get crust, 2 fingers of industrial cheese and a whole plant of oregano.
It’s very similar for pasta, which many people think as a bread replacement.
This is why their pizzas are so boring. One or two toppings. Come on, get creative with it, Guissepe.
Most of Italian recipes are very simple. The focus usually is on quality on the ingredients and if they are good, a pizza with just mozzarella and tomatoes is already delicious. That said, even in Italy there are plenty of types of pizzas, but most of them don’t have 20 ingredients, I suppose the point is that you actually want to taste what you eat, which is not the case when you mix many different things. There is a very messy and rich pizza (capricciosa) with a lot of toppings though (more than one obviously, but this is the most common).
Personally I am a margherita person, simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.
P.s. Giuseppe :)
simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.
As a Regina enjoyer I agree 100%
If that’s what you prefer, may I recommend the place Where Life Makes Sense instead of “worse Winnipeg”?
That makes sense. But also I find it amusing because Romans had the opposite attitude with food of “you know what everything I ever eat needs? A fuck ton of fermented fish sauce”. Which like, both attitudes are great, but it is an amusing evolution of culture over two millennia
It actually makes sense, because Italian history is far from a continuum. In fact, most “Italian cuisine” is actually less than 100 years old!
Romans were food snobs too, though. One common insult was “chickpea-eater” because roasted chickpeas were poor people food. Thing is, roasted chickpeas are fucking delicious - I really wish fresh chickpeas in the pod were easier to find (in the US).
That’s cuz you never had a proper napolitan pizza you uncultured swine. You’d never open your mouth about pizza again, or call anything you can buy in your America a pizza.

Preach. My favorite pizza of the last few years is with sliced kebap meat with sauce hollandaise. Sounds disgusting, looks not that appetizing but it’s fucking amazing.
Btw, carbonara with tuna and citrus juice is pretty good.
oh yes. Sprinkle in some minced durian and you’ve got my vote
If my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike.
So, not carbonara. Pasta with lemon is awesome, I also love pasta with tuna, both also work together, but it’s not a carbonara.
I don’t think its the same than combining a sweet fruit with tomato sauce and cheese.
Pasta by itself is basically neutral in taste. You can easily make them into a sweet dish. I sometimes like to eat them with applesauce.
Just to clarify, I wouldn’t order or make pizza with pineapple for myself, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal people sometimes make it.
Just eat what you like and don’t force your taste on others.Pasta is egg and flour. Cake is egg and flour. Society has decided that egg and flour has to be maked in a particular shape and cooked in a particular way to have strawberries with it.
Pasta by itself is basically neutral in taste. You can easily make them into a sweet dish. I sometimes like to eat them with applesauce.
Please explain yourself. You can’t just say this like it’s normal and morally/ethically acceptable.
What is there to explain? If you don’t add any savory ingredients to pasta it is not salty or savory in taste.
Same as you can prepare rice savory or sweet as rice pudding or something.
You do now “pasta” just means the noodle, right? It’s still pasta if you don’t add anything?
There are lots of sweet pasta dishes in the world like sweet kugel or milk noodles.I just add (cold) applesauce onto (warm) noodles and eat it. If I’m fancy, I make applesauce from fresh apples.
Also, look up portugese Aletria. That’s angle hair pasta as it’s best.
See, the problem is that pizza often gets shared, and these barbarians will order it with pineapple physically on it, like put right on a perfectly good ham pizza, so then you have to pull the pineapple off, let the dog lick the pineapple juice from the pineapple holes, and then you can eat it, but you still can taste the lingering traces of a fruit that should, by all the laws of man and god, be used exclusively in deserts.
It’s an affront against nature and pizza.
Downvote away, but you know deep in your heart of hearts that I’m right.
Dude. Your problem is not the pineapple, but that you are apparently surrounded by inconsiderate people.
If you get pizza or any food to share, you should make sure you choose a topping everyone is okay with. If necessary make it half pineapple half pepperoni or whatever.
If you order for a group of people and choose something that is controversial without checking back, you’re an asshole.
Yeah I once lived with a family in Eastern Europe who would sometimes make dessert ravioli by filling it with fruit and sugar and dusting it with powdered sugar. It was obviously a very different dish than savory pasta but really good actually.
I will go out on a limb here and guess those were not ravioli and some form of pelmeni instead? There are types of them that are usually eaten with sour cream and jam. But the dough used is quite different from the ravioli one, and the filling is cheese (not meat or ricotta/spinach).
Was that the case?
Actually no! But I think they were inspired by pelmeni, but this was ravioli dough. It was in Moldova though, and much of the family had moved to Italy for temporary work. I’m guessing it was a fusion cooking experiment and turned out great and they kept doing it. It started spreading through the town lol. But hey, if it’s good it’s good.
In Poland, some people put fruit juice in their beer (piwo z sokiem), and it is fucking delicious
As a German I have to say that do this kind of regularly. But only with alcohol free wheat beer and grapefruit juice. Really great drink after sport or a long hike
I’ve only tried wheat beer with banana juice, that was yummy
Oh and rosé wine with maple syrup.
Well that’s just delicious. Beer is often well served by fruity flavors
Shandies are great. Radler is very refreshing
Fruity beer is also common in Belgium. It’s not mixed with juice but is already flavored in the bottle as you buy it. And yes, it’s delicious. Kriek for instance is a pretty famous cherry flavored beer.
Also non-alcaholic beer mixed with juice is a pretty decent drink after sports. The slight bitterness and the bubbles makes it really refreshing on hot days.
It’s not about a flavoured beer - there’s plenty of em. This is about a concentrated form of juice you usually dilute in water. You put it into beer, it turns reddish-pink and a lot of people preffer to drink it that way
Pubs in the UK used to (or still do?) have blackcurrant and lime cordial for this.
“Lager and Lime”, “Lager and Blackcurrant” and “Cider and Blackcurrant” were pretty common 20-30 years ago. A shot of cordial (concentrated juice), then filled up with lager beer.
There was also orange cordial behind the bar, but nobody ever drank “Lager and orange”. I believe it was some form of crime.
Here it’s most often raspberry syrup with beer. Lots of women like it, takes the bitterness out of it. Worth trying if you haven’t, the raspberry stuff is in every store basically even abroad, mix with your regular old light beer
There’s also snakebite, which IIRC is Lager, Cider, and a shot of blackcurrant cordial. A great drink to get you off your tits when you’re young.
From where I lived, just the lager and cider together was snakebite, and with blackcurrant it was a “snakebite and black” - but I think there was a lot of regional variety (in the UK, at least).
I have heard lager/cider/blackcurrant called a snakebite before though (I remember it causing a disagreement in the pub) - but I’ve also heard it called a “diesel” (which elsewhere was something mixed with guinness). I’m pretty sure you sometimes got different things in different pubs in the same town.
I suppose pre-internet, we were just relying on the drunk people ordering things to decide what they wanted to call stuff (“what was that purple mixed drink called that made me throw up on my own shoes?”).
Yeah, I only ever heard of it from others that had ordered it before. Here in Bristol it was with blackcurrant, but have seen a few different takes in the midlands and London. Weirdly, I had heard of a Diesel too, but knew it as both a Guinness shandy with blackcurrant, and as a blue WKD with coke.
Considering tomatoes aren’t even from Europe the Italians can think whatever they want about pizza, they’re not experts, they’re just as wrong as everyone else.
A plain slice in NY, maybe with some red pepper flakes and parmigiana. Fuckin bliss.
NY pizza fucking sucks. You want real pizza, go to Chicago. Everyone knows deep dish is where it’s at.
Yeah I said it. Fight me.
It’s fucking soup with cheese that’s so covered in sauce it will never reach any level of golden brown delicious, nor even be able to dream of it. It’s such a US thing to think that more is better while annihilating all the nuance that makes the thing actually good in the first place.
A deep crust is fine, just put more in it and put that cheese on top where it can really shine. Fill that bad bitch with all kinds of great stuff. Use more than the most basic, one-note pizza sauce.
I was so hyped for deep-dish and it let me down so fucking hard.
Lasagna is everything deep dish wishes it was.
Amen brother.
I don’t think you can eat deep dish pizza with one hand while riding the subway quite so easily.
For the whole thing: https://youtu.be/pzXIpp59eoU?si=CVP2J6aM3INbf7WG
I’m a New Yorker and used to date a person from Chicago. We saw eye-to-eye on many things, but we had to be okay with the fact that this debate was not among them.
I don’t normally disagree with John Stewart, but for this I’ll make an exception.
…Red pepper flakes?
I’m literally shaking right now
…Shaking more red pepper flakes onto your dollar slice?
Can’t pass up free condiments amirite?
For those peasants who’ve never heard of olio peperoncino
Are you a purist that says ketchup doesn’t belong on hot dogs too?
Hot dogs should only have mustard and diced onions on them.
Maybe sauerkraut if it’s a special occasion.
Diced onions are for amateurs. Pyramided onions are where it’s at.
NY style pizza also isn’t anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.
Yeah I’ll die on the Dayton style pizza hill. But seriously most people who come from somewhere with its own style of pizza love that style. For a non hometown favorite Chicago bar style (not deep dish) is excellent.
And that’s why, as a Midwesterner, I proudly put black olives on my tacos. And it’s tastes pretty damn great!
This by far the worse crime here.
As a socal boy, you scare me
Midwestern Mexican food is a whole nother beast.
Power to you, don’t let the food snobs stop you!
As long as you aren’t putting cheese or sour cream or using those hard shell things I guess it could pass
They are definitely putting cheese and sour cream in hard shell tacos.
Taco Bell used to put olives on some of their items way back in the day. I wonder if that’s where all this started.
Pickles are pickles, but personally, I like pickled watermelon
Preparing that yourself or are there places where you can buy pickled watermelon?
All over the place. If your local store has a large pickle section, you’ll probably find it.
🤔 username
I’m learning so many new things today 🫠
Diced pickles in your tacos. Thank me later
It’s not about being right, it’s about making something that tastes good. Besides that, there are also well established cultural traditions. But as long as people call their
garbagepizzas “NY pizza”, or whatever and it’s well distinguished by “Italian pizza” (or Neapolitan, etc.), I don’t see the problem.And pasta is from china
Asian noodles and italian pasta evolved independently. It’s a myth that Marco Polo brought the recipe home.

Anyone had kluski z serem?
It’s really good!
The obligatory article is not as good:
How To Pronounce Makaron Z Serem?
Makaron z serem is pronounced ma-kah-ron z seh-rehm.
Very enlightening
My Romanian grandmother use to make this with feta cheese. It was delicious
