so i was at dinner with a britisher. she ordered a prawn and rocket pizza. when it came, she put ketchup on it. I have pics

and I *like* the recognizable ingredients!

mystified by the oscillations from enticing to bleagh and back again. you start out all, "fresh spinach, lamb's lettuce," yeah that sounds good, i bet lambs know what's up with lettuce. and suddenly you're awash in drizzled lurpak. "thin slices of sweet emerald green tomatoes" makes me want to eat it NOW, but they only occurs between waves of cheese, harissa and beetroot tatziki. and beef jerky.

(with affection, campari. i'm sure it's delicious, that we are uncomprehending apes before your wisdom-bearing salad monolith.)

seriously it's like something out of a lovecraft story. the horrible accumulation of ingredients! xp

wait, I assumed that post was a comedy recipe

pretty sure campari g&t is crazy and from great britain.

oh i hope it is a comedy recipe!!

please let it be comedy. who puts tomato puree in salad

i have been not-really-vegetarian-because-i-still-eat-fish (NRVBISEF) for a while now, but i still occasionally experience a faint twinge of jerky lust. then i am ashamed.

I have just farted, I'm really sorry.

were some people confused what Lurpak is, or.

is it butter?

it's just a brand, i've had it before, tastes like butter... because it is butter

I believe it.

Not just a brand, also a type. Its danish cultured butter. Very nice.

You can tell it's cultured because the mascot owns a trombone.

looool

You forgot to garnish that salad with cheesy footballs.

That salad is the sort of thing ppl sometimes do on come dine with me and they're really confident that it'll win them the competition, as theyre cooking they say to camera "I came up with it myself, the secret is to put pringles in the soup" and then later it cuts to one of the horrified guests going "it tasted a bit like he put...pringles...in the soup?"

"serve in a ceramic sombrero with loads of cheetos!"

i have noticed people trying to make hot dogs happen of late, it's true. maybe start off by not using those horrible inflatable sausages, i dunno

really hope at some point there's a faction insisting on "frankfurter" or maybe such "franks"

do Americans eat sausage rolls? How to make those trendy?

xp the big innovation over the previous 5 years has been the proliferation of Brats and Bocks, some of which i've actually found edible and similar to their German cousins

how do you make a sausage roll?

you push it down a hill

One reason for hot dogs’ surge may be that they are priced below other options. According to the Menurama research, hot dogs’ average price of £6.12 ($10.21) is lower than that for any other item in the Top 20 for restaurants. Across all segments, hot dogs average £7.14, compared with £9.42 for a burger, £10.02 for pizza, £9.66 for fish & chips and £8.26 for perennial favorite sausage & mash.

Who the fuck pays £6.12 for a hot dog?

where the fuck charges those prices? is that Loldon weighting?

i guess they're "restaurant" prices rather than takeaway but still

yeah US style diners are a thing in London, you can kid yourself you're not eating at a declasse fast food joint while gorging on fatty junk food.

everyone's a winner.

also: bottles of over-priced US "craft" beer

I really, really do wish that Not Dogs or Tofu Pups or whatever would become a thing in Britain, though.

Well, there's always the vegetarian hot dogs at Ikea...

That would involve going to Ikea. I am NEVER going within the biosphere of Croydon ever again.

Branwell, plz order these, they are 1000x tastier than not dogs or tofu pups i SWEAR

wtf is rocket? who has prawns on a pizza? everything about this is sickening.

rocket = arugula

for the billionth time: king prawns on a garlic and cheese pizza can be lovely, although never my ideal topping. best used in conjunction with other seafood

arugula is probably the greatest of all pizza toppings aside from cheese & tomato sauce. the best pizza ime is simply italian thin-crust cooked with sauce and mozzarella, with thin-sliced fresh tomatoes and fresh arugula sprinkled on top. lol @ americans thinking they know pizza better than italians

well, americans do know pizza better than italians.

Wait, do you NOT have nice juicy prawns on pizza in the US? Seafood pizza is the oldest deal in the book, what the hell oh wait this is a pizza thread what am I even.

i want pizza with scallops on it. is there some sort of intra-ilx ordering service conceptually similar to uber whereby i can just pay someone to make me a scallop pizza and bring it to my house?

of course we do. there's two places just in my neighborhood that will bring me a white pie with shrimp, red onions, capers, and lemon right this second if I want one. xpost

it'll cost more than a british hot dog though.

Best pizza Ive had in ages - one with falafels on it from the joint near my bandmate's house, we eat em during jams. Soooo good.

arugula and shrimp are perfectly great pizza toppings. Arugula isn't that common as a topping here, but it's similar enough to spinach, which is a common topping, I really have no idea why people are pretending to be shocked and offended, unless all they eat is like domino's or tombstone or the pizza equivalent of mcdonalds.

arugula/prosciutto pizza = godly.

^^^both preceding posts otm

seafood pizza is a classic, who the hell is shocked by that

news just in from Facebook: apparently northerners call a pizza with chips (fries) on it a "London pizza". Can anyone confirm or deny?

not round our end
