Depending what other toppings are on it and the amount of white chocolate, that would also probably be somewhat tasty.

In Australia, this is a pizza: And this is a pie: I've literally never heard "pie" used to refer to a pizza. That's almost as weird as calling scones "biscuits". I also agree that white chocolate on a pizza could, theoretically, be tasty. I've seen worse pizza topping combinations. e: whoa that's a big pizza

oldpainless posted:when the moon hits your eye I've heard the phrase "pizza pie" and always assumed it was referring to pizza pockets or something (white and round like a moon or the white of an eye, with a bit bitten out to make the iris). But hearing deep dish pizzas referred to as "pies" is weird enough, let alone referring to standard American flat pizzas as pies... It's not right, I tell you.

In actual content (hope this hasn't already been posted): earlier this month, a lone gunman held up a cafe/chocolate shop in Sydney, Australia. I'm not sure if it made much of an impact in international news. Either way, two hostages ended up dying, and the gunman was killed. Among his demands were to have an IS flag brought to him and to talk to the Prime Minister. From what I recall he didn't actually have any real connections to IS, though they've retroactively claimed him as one of their own. Anyway, this, in various forms popped up on quite a few people's Facebooks and in news article comments: Yes, it's a repurposed 9/11 meme There also seem to be quite a few people whose dad's friend/cousin's fiancee/aunt's teacher did a small kindness to a Muslim gentleman who then decided to warn them of a vague event happening sometime in December or January. Needless to say many cops and other officials had to remind people that this did not, in fact, happen. It's heartening at least that most people have been very good about this whole incident and realise it's the act of one hosed-up guy and not indicative of the Muslim community at large.

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:This must be an Americanism I've never encountered before. In Australia, this is a pizza: That's not a pie, that's a pot pie. This is a pie I think "pizza pie" was the original term, and people just dropped it over time. Maybe it was already dropped before it made it down under. I don't think its just an Americanism, but it could be. But if you think about it, a Pizza, a Pie, and a Meat pie are all the same thing with just different "fillings". With a standard "Pie" you've got a sweet filling, but with a meat pie or a pizza pie its different. But its a big flattened circle of dough with stuff in the middle, same concept. You say "meat pie" to differentiate it from a sweet "pie", so you'd say "pizza pie" to differentiate it from a meat pie or a sweet pie. But then 100 years go by and now people eat WAY more pizza than they do pie, so calling it "pizza pie" sounds strange. So they dropped it. But especially in older days "pizza pie" was pretty common. I heard it a ton in NY when I was younger. And its not just deep dish pizza, its any pizza. A pizza pie! The more you know.

I tried looking on NAW and NAR for some content for this thread, but everything was so banal I couldn't even say that didn't happen, all I could think was "Who gives a gently caress?"

Yeah. You're on the phone with the pizza dude, "I'd like a large pie, half plain, half sausage" etc. Also I somehow misread the story as it was white chocolate for a five year old, like the guy was gonna make a birthday cake for his niece or something. Ew, yeah, why would that be a thing you'd keep around?

That makes this kind of STDH even sadder/unintentionally funny, since it means the writer is so socially clueless they actually think people do just quietly pay for misdelivered food for fear of losing the deliveryperson's respect.

Do people with prams routinely leave their windows/doors open after they leave their cars? Also love how they kept the filthy diaper in their car instead of dumping it in the trash like a normal person.
