At the Cubs game tonight I saw a Boy Scout cover a slice of cheese pizza with chopped onions and ketchup. I thought about taking all his merit badges away from him.

rocket is good on pizza although obv it goes on after the oven which maybe in those pics it did not, so comparing it to spinach is apples and oranges.
prawn is terrible on pizza.
ketchup is wtf, but who cares pizza is basically children's food.
i haven't had a really good slice in new york yet imo. why don't they use better cheese on the cheese pizza?

If there was a "rocket, prawn and ketchup" sandwich option at an M&S I might go for it. Britishes did invent the winning combo of cheddar + relish

I just eat prawns with the tail on most I the time, unless it's particularly big you can usually just crunch it up. I stop at sucking the juices out the head like someone I know does....

Have we discussed yet how in greasy British pizza places you often get pizza & chips. Soggy chips.

look the rudimentary idea behind ketchup application is in the vinegar content, it's like balsamic for toddlers

a late lamented ilxor once told me that he didn't like ketchup in plastic bottles because they put more vinegar in it??

how did rocket come to mean arugula in certain places?

in french it's "la roquette", is my guess
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 14 July 2013 09:14 (ten years ago) link
The names are fairly similar rocket / roquette / rucola / arugula

I love how every time this argument comes up the question of what they do IN ITALY is always completely overlooked.
Prawns are disgusting and eating them has no place in a civilised society but they are totally a standard pizza topping in Italy, especially by the sea. Shell-on is doubly vile and just makes no sense though.
Rocket is an amazing and totally standard pizza topping but you need it with proscuitto and parmesan really, added after the pizza has gone in the oven. That combination of flavours can be utterly glorious. Rocket and grated horsemeat = also delicious.

Ketchup is obviously wrong but I agree it's for the vinegar kick rather than anything else.
That pizza in the original post looks revolting and totally not how rocket on pizzas is supposed to look.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 14 July 2013 10:20 (ten years ago) link
wth is horsemeat
― what a wonderful url (Matt P), Sunday, 14 July 2013 10:25 (ten years ago) link

Horse is delicious and the British and Americans are so stupid for not realising.

Yeah if I wanted to eat horse I'd grab a Findus lasagne.

I don't think that even Findus would put Jimmy Savile in a lasagne.

Matt we've established that your Google skills ain't the best but did you seriously just ask what horsemeat is
― ^do not heed if you rate me (wins), Sunday, 14 July 2013 11:52 (ten years ago) link
i'm sure horsemeat is a-ok but how you can dismiss prawns and rep for grated horse well the mind boggles

i wager if an enterprising restaurateur were to arrange a prawn cocktail on a cooled thin base (poss with a thin smear of tomato puree) and called it summer fruits de mer en plein air pizza or whatever if would sell 10x what a prawn cocktail in any other form would
― r|t|c, Sunday, 14 July 2013 12:13 (ten years ago) link
prawns tangiers on a za would probably work fine i imagine

Surely the knowing 80s yuppy food revival is so close at hand they'd be able to do that with an only-slightly ponced up prawn cocktail before long, without even having to bring pizza into it.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 14 July 2013 12:30 (ten years ago) link
pretty much anything is good on pizza, when combined with agreeable other things
― twerking for obvious reasons (contenderizer), Sunday, 14 July 2013 12:32 (ten years ago) link
pretty sure there's been several poncy prawn cocktail revivals since the 70s.

it's not the naffness of prawn cocktail that's shit

few things better than shrimps & cocktail sauce (provided both are fresh)
― twerking for obvious reasons (contenderizer), Sunday, 14 July 2013 12:49 (ten years ago) link
They do shrimp on pizza in Rome fwiw. I don't know if anybody orders it. But it's on the menu. So are figs! And zucchini flowers! Actually zucchini flowers on pizza are to die for
― flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 14 July 2013 12:58 (ten years ago) link
PRawns on pizza are fine, I think we are getting distracted from the main point which is ketchup on cheese on tomato paste

maybe cocktail sauce is different in the states but here it's basically ghastly pinkish tangy mayonnaise = gross
― ^do not heed if you rate me (wins), Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:06 (ten years ago) link
yeah "cocktail sauce" uk is pretty rank
― the SI unit of ignorance (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:06 (ten years ago) link
the essence of even the finest marie rose sauce is to flirt with rankness surely
― r|t|c, Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:11 (ten years ago) link
anything you can accurately simulate by mixing ketchup and mayo is leaning on the sickly side imo
― the SI unit of ignorance (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:11 (ten years ago) link
it's not simulation, that's the thing, k&m actually is the recipe
― r|t|c, Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:14 (ten years ago) link
i made cocktail sauce from scratch once (one of the ingredients was ketchup) and it was pretty indistinguishable from store bought stuff
― 乒乓, Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:14 (ten years ago) link
yeah and it's not leaning either, it fully inhabits the fucking sickly side xp
