Yesterday was one of those days where I didn't have a whole lot of food, but there were a lot of cool sporting events on, so I didn't want to go to the grocery store.

This led to the creation of the tuna pizza.



It's just a Jack's frozen cheese pizza that I cooked halfway, threw some very well drained canned tuna on, and cooked the rest of the way. It wasn't bad for what is was, it tasted like a more subtle anchovy pizza (if you could get a frozen anchovy pizza), but it was still a rather shameful creation.

It's a really common pizza topping here in Italy :confused:

Try adding sliced onion (or leek) next time

If you want to see some really weird pizza, go to Italy. You're gonna find things like plain slice with eggplant and fries on it. Pizza nazis are even more annoying than grammar nazis because unlike grammar, pizza has no rules.

The Italian run pizza place near me does an amazing pizza with just slices of loving eggplant and two or three dollops of ricotta. It is heaven.

Don't dis eggplant on pizzas :colbert:

Americans put whatever we want on pizza. There's a place in media pa that has a NY style that ends up being a couple inches thick because there's an entire baked ziti on top of it. The pizza I order the most often from local places is pineapple, bacon, banana peppers, and jalapeños.

I don't know where these misconceptions come from.

This is the current menu of my uncle's pizza restaurant, for anyone curious about American pizza menus: http://www.hideawaypizza.com/menu.php

He bought it in the '60s (maybe early '70s) and it was a hole-in-the-wall joint with excellent food for a long time. Bit more mainstream now, but still independent and not fast-foody. Sorry about the blaring colors (supposed to be an homage to the restaurant's hippie tie-dye days). Example for those too lazy to click:

quote:

HIDEAWAY olive oil and garlic glaze, mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, asiago cheese, banana peppers, diced red peppers, kalamata olives, Parmesan-herb shake, cooked then topped with feta cheese.

Add onions and that would be perfect. I used to have a vegetarian coworker and his go to pizza was pineapple, jalapeno, and onions. It was amazing.

This place by me has no less than 100 different toppings. There's more options than I could hope to try out in a lifetime, with meatball and french fries with goat cheese being one of the more surprisingly pleasant combinations I've tried. They also have this amazing garlic and spinach vegetarian pizza which I looked down on at first, being a meat guy, but holy poo poo it was amazing

There's a lot of variety to be found, you just need to look around a bit.

I'm going to take a pretty solid guess and say that it's seaweed. Not sure why the base is black though, maybe ink? Looks like it could be a seafood themed pizza, that would explain the use of ink.

Now for some content:



Apparently KFC are now making their Double Down with a mince patty between them. :barf:

A friend of mine had the worlds biggest food-boner for the original Double Down when KFC started selling them in Australia; during university he would literally drive off for 20mins at lunch 2-3 times a week to grab himself two. Dude was still skinny as all hell but loved them. When they stopped selling them he started making his own at the corner shop we both worked: he took two deep fried chicken breasts, slapped some bacon and cheese between them and started eating.

This is the same friend who for his 13th or 14th birthday invited me over to dinner with his family. He was having his special birthday treat: the hedgehog. I wish I had a picture for it but I can't find it. It was a boiled egg, wrapped in a spiced mince shell, which was wrapped in some bacon, which was wrapped in a tenderised steak to form a ball of pure protein product. He called it a hedgehog because it was held together with chopsticks thus it looked like a hedgehog. I don't remember finishing mine let alone getting more than half way through it. He ate all of his, with 3 kinds of sauce.

That's OK, it was probably hip over 5 years ago. Beets need some acidity, strong flavours and sweetness anyway. With beets I would probably use diced lamb and rosemary, maybe some garlic. Probably wouldn't use rocket, maybe spinach on top with a dash of balsamic to charge an extra $10. With rocket I would do something like roast butternut pumpkin/squash, some roasted pine nuts, olives and a drizzle of honey :v:
Pizza is just bread that's baked with stuff on top, I don't see why people care about it that much.

The anti-food porn I have to share is Pizza Corner's sad, sad taco pizza. I have to edit in a photo because I'm on mobile, but it is just tortilla chips and different cheese/spices. No extras on top, no fall-off-your-slice toppings, just baked-under-cheese tortilla chips.
