People look fondly upon the 50's-70's, but I'm glad I didn't have to live with "pizza" like that

In most Roman cities you literally weren't allowed to cook. No fires inside apartment buildings. A frequently violated law, but a law nevertheless. They didn't have kitchens at all but you couldn't really stop people using candles/oil lamps. You got your bread by bringing grain to the baker and then picking up your loaves, rest of the food you'd buy at street vendors or bars/restaurants. Hong Kong is a reasonable modern parallel. Apartments are so small that many barely have a kitchen, and even if you do have one it's probably like a hot plate and ten centimeters of counter space, so people eat out the majority of the time. In a lot of Asia it's actually cheaper to eat out than cook at home anyway, so it's way more common to do that than the US thing of viewing a restaurant meal as a special occasion. I love cooking and I still probably ate out 2/3 of the time in China to save money. Also Sichuan food is the poo poo.

Not that brand, but similar with the bag of dough mix and cans of sauce. She'd add toppings though, not just leave it a sad 'cheese' pizza. Had a sort of flat biscuit like crust. Not great, not terrible. At least it wasn't served with a side of rubbery frozen, limp canned, or boiled until grey vegetables. At the time frozen pizzas also had a flat biscuit style crust. Rising crust frozen pizzas didn't show up until later.

The parmasan cheese topping was not horrible but not enough, would add shredded cheese. It just isn't a firm enough crust to be anything other than fork and knife squares. Every part of it tastes off from normal pizza, so the whole thing is pretty different.

Northern Ireland has a big eel-based market, to the point where our eels have protected status within the EU and there's an entire industry based on shipping crates of live eels to the rest of the EU where people actually want to eat them.

I don’t have any difficulty conceptually with eating eels Just ... given the vast panoply of options, why would you collectively choose to eat them — like that

Yeah, eel is the best sushi. I just wish they'd find a way to make it more sustainable because we sure as gently caress aren't going to stop eating it.

When you have your penny slice of this in a piece of paper the assistant pours over it a spoonful of the gravy in which the remains of a loin of pork are standing. Why the gravy does not run over on to the floor I cannot say. I only know that it does not. When the batter pudding client comes out into the street with his light refreshment in his hand and commences to eat it the gravy is there still."

Please don't eat eel at all. They are really going extinct. Stocks have dropped more than 99% since the 1980s. "Farmed" eels are wild caught as small fry, and are just as unsustainable as wild caught eel.

CannonFodder posted:They were a part of my childhood in the 80s, and are still around. The pepperoni pieces were the size of a penny. Were those the pepperonis that,when you baked them, curled up into tough little red bowls of grease? Because yeah, they were objectively awful but nostalgia is a hell of a thing.
