I did the cooking and shot the video and my sister made the gif. The saffron makes it look more presentable That being said I tried doing the same thing with a radicchio risotto that I was making and it ended up looking like dogshit. but so fuckin good pictured: one of my favorite foods in the entire world baw has a new favorite as of 11:15 on Mar 28, 2017 |

I love the contrast in every element in these two pics. They're so similar but yet so very, very different.

Look, Italian pizza is amazing, it's just not the same as American pizza, and for some manbabies, that's unacceptable. Obviously it'll taste a little different wherever you go in Italy, but saying that Italian pizza is a "nightmare" is just stupid, and makes that person look like a god damned idiot.

Also yes calling Italian a pizza a nightmare is insane unless he had a slice at a train station and thought it was representative of the whole country or something. The priciest pizzas I've had in the US are not as good as the average delivery pizza here.

There's an area that constitutes like 50% of our geography where the people are terrified of flavors, and oregano is considered exotic and unpalatable. I'm pretty sure I got lucky with the pizza I ordered when I was in Phoenix, AZ. I picked the place that had the highest yelp ratings withing delivery range of my hotel, and I'd say it was: better than any of the big chains, but not as good as either of the two places I usually order from at home. Uh, that said, I'm curious about what it is about the Italian pizza that allegedly elevates it? Higher local cheese quality? A more authentic tomato sauce?

Aesop Poprock posted:Yep. Place right down the road for me has the best pizza I've ever had anywhere in America but they'll undercook the poo poo out of it if you don't request it well done. They're all actually from Italy and fly back and forth from here to there constantly so I dunno if Italy just under cooks its pizza or what, but according to the GBS pizza thread authentic Italian pizza is mostly a terrible nightmare so who knows Most of that Italian pizza in that thread looked delicious, fresh and interesting, but goons hated it because it contained toppings other than pepperoni and didn't have mounds of greasy plastic cheese.

That would be true also of New York, where people go bugfuck nuts for a big flat floppy slab of plain cheese from under a heatlamp. The brick oven stuff is better, but for some reason it's not the thing everybody's actually after.

I dunno what it is tbqh. They get a lot of flavor and texture out of even a very thin pizza crust, even a simple margherita which basically comes down to three ingredients. Ingredient quality probably has a lot to do with it but I think there is also technique both with forming and cooking. The places I went to in the US were in or near Chicago (this was the "fancy" one where a friend and I split a $16 shot of grappa so that he could see how we drink coffee where I live) seemed like maybe they slopped on too much cheese or maybe the dough wasn't cooked properly but the texture was just weird and the flavors were less vibrant, like everything had a coating of grease that dulled the rest of the ingredients. Plus the other nicer pizzeria I went to put shredded fresh basil on a margherita The picture isn't great but here is an example of a pizza we get on pizza night (I put balsamic glaze on mine) baw has a new favorite as of 16:53 on Mar 28, 2017 |

A bit of actual mozzarella (not the yellow blocks) some basil and local tomatoes would do the trick, yeah. Supermarket/big brand store veg being bland is a universal constant. (Could also be brain tricks because why shouldnt pizza taste better in italy.) CommonShore posted:

When I went to Rome for school, my friend and I walked into some rando pizza joint, and it was among the best pizza I've ever had. Nothing fancy, just margherita, but I think it's the atmosphere and the fresh ingredients. They were also rpetty liberal with the olive oil while making it I suspect as the oil was in large copper watering can type things.

Y'all will argue on and on what counts as a topping for pizza but can pizza be a topping? For 50p from Asda you can find out! Handy instructions on toast Can't forget the "cheese"! As this is a scientific test I chose to have one slice without cheese (this photo before the cheese was cooked) It tasted bland for the most part. Like very very cheap pizza sauce. The cheese somehow made it even blander Best use it all up! Is this a pizza sandwich? I did finish it but it was not fun. Scooby-doo style sandwiches always seemed like a great idea but maybe pizza toast topping isn't the way to do it. Good thing I also have a burger topping too

Um That raises a question I did not know to consider. What kind of "cheese" is British prepackaged processed "cheese"? Surely you don't call it "American". Is it similar at all to our Kraft abominations, or is it bland and waxy and artificial yet somehow a classier flavor than ours?

That's a good question. I'm not a Brit but do live here and my partner (Irish) calls it plastic cheese. there is no derision in her tone when she says this and loves to make toasted cheese sandwiches with it, but will not use it for anything else I have no idea how it compares to american. It tastes kinda salty and burns the poo poo out of you if it goops out of the sandwich
