Arugula holds up well on pizza. Taco pizzas have Iceberg added post-cooking and it's good?

You should order a taco pizza for dinner tonight. Get the lettuce and tomato on the side as well as the sour cream and salsa if they offer those. The wet stuff. The onion is fine staying on for cooking. Assemble only what you plan to eat when you plan to eat it so the lettuce doesn't get limp and gross and make the crust soggy. There is nothing wrong with lettuce on tacos and if you fold a pizza in half it becomes a taco so....

gonna have to argue that arugula is taxonomically not a lettuce, but rather a dainty leaf vegetable, so while you're correct that lettuce doesn't hold well on pizza, arugula does

Iceberg only works on taco and cheeseburger pizzas and only if you add it right before you eat the pizza.

I could get behind "all brassicas are lettuce"

Broccoli is a type of lettuce. Turnip is a type of lettuce. Canola oil is made from lettuce.

Actual lettuces are from a completely different Order, of course, but nevermind that.

Lib and let die posted:

Hilariously, oregano and basil actually are in the same Order as lettuces, i.e. they are more closely-related to lettuce than arugula is.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

Rocket (arugula?) is the worst. Almost inedibly bitter.

One of the best pizzas I've ever made was one we made the night before what turned into a 24-hour journey, we rolled it up into a tube with salad in the middle, threw it into a big ziplock bag and ended up eating it in a train station somewhere in france. Amazingly good.

I got Taco Pizza for dinner. Thin crispy crust, ground sausage, taco seasoning, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and salsa. Delicious.

Look at those huge loving tomatoes and hunks of lettuce. I'm sure it tasted good but goddamn

I got some homegrown thread content too, also taco related. I got some from a new-ish Mexican place I was pretty excited to try, and not only did they have lame toppings, they were the blandest tacos I've had in my life. Seriously, look at that meat:



That chicken hasn't even seen a single spice in its life. I tasted it on its own, and it didn't even have any real saltiness, much less anything else. Definitely not giving this place a second try, there's plenty of good Mexican places here whose basic tacos actually have seasoning and real toppings.

You use a fork to pile toppings back on the slices as you eat them and to eat the small salad you have leftover. They can obviously be made much better but the place I got it from has great crust and sausage and is cheap so.

Bitter? I'd describe it as a peppery flavor, not really bitter. (at least raw, I've never had it cooked. It's way better than lettuce on a sandwich, but most things are.)

But you got shredded iceberg lettuce and some tomato! It's a flavor bonanza!*

Lol yes, it would be good 50-year-old recipe card material. "Cooking tip: measure spices over a separate bowl, so you may discard even a single grain of extra seasoning"

Eww, reminds me of a place I stopped at randomly in Mississippi, just vile bland food.


On the topic of pizza, can anyone identify what was on this pizza I just ate? The center is Burrata, and I'm pretty sure that's spicy Capicola as the meat, I have no idea what anything else is. Salty/savory, sweet, and spicy are the flavors, in order of dominance.

I think it might be strawberry/fig jam with lots of spicy red pepper, it's definitely a jam of some sort.

I’m pretty sure that’s prosciutto. That would make it the classic prosciutto and figs combo. I don’t see capicola there, capicola is neck meat, that is a cut from the ham.

You can try the experiment described in the article: Growing two samples of the same breed of rocket you could accurately taste the difference between the delicate and the spicy versions and decide if it's truly a lost cause for you.

"A previous study of rocket showed that people’s genetic differences are not necessarily an indicator of whether they will like something. It’s perfectly possible to be a bitter “supertaster” and like rocket and Brussels sprouts depending on your upbringing and exposure to them."

As with the coriander thing it's much more down to exposure and upbringing rather than having these genes or not. I thought we already made fun of the whole 'supertaster' thing on these forums ages ago because of goons who latched onto it as an excuse for why they only ate bland fatty diets full of processed poo poo? (Not suggesting that you're like that).

Anecdotally, I spend my summers volunteering in a Turkish hotel/campground working in the kitchen, and the breakfast buffet every day has piles of huge fresh rocket leaves, which are incredibly bitter and peppery given how much sun they get, and I loving love them.
