Matt we've established that your Google skills ain't the best but did you seriously just ask what horsemeat is

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

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

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

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

― 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

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
― ^do not heed if you rate me (wins), Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:15 (ten years ago) link
xp with alcohol?
the sauce is finessable imo
― r|t|c, Sunday, 14 July 2013 13:20 (ten years ago) link
nah not with alcohol, and the pot of horseradish i had on hand was a bit old too. might give it a go w/ fresher ingredients next

proper cocktail sauce has no trace of mayonnaise, or even oil. it's just ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, worcestershire, vinegar-based hot sauce of some sort. plus whatever else you might want. minced scallion or onion can be nice. some people like a little sugar (savages). good w shrimp.

I had a Black Forest gateau for my birthday cake, it was delicious. Bring on the revival. (Needs lots of Kirschwasser though, none of that wimpy alcohol-free Sara Lee stuff.)
Not really against prawns on pizza (can't imagine ordering it though) but shells/tails on is a weird choice. But, where was this restaurant? Not fair to blame Britishers if it's on an American menu, as presumably some of the locals would need to eat it for it to be viable to keep the prawns in stock.
