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

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

Veggie Field Roast frankfurters look great, but the nearest retailer appears to be over 1000 miles away. ::sadface::

Seafood on pizza = death on a plate for me, but seriously, I don't understand Americans if they think this is weird?

Pizza with chips sounds gross, but... (I kinda want it now.)

London pizzas all round!

The London Pizza. I think I saw them support Pulp in 1995?

This video suggests it's pizza + chips + garlic sauce in middlesborough, menus confirm.

whoops, *middlesbrough, apologies the north.

the pizza in the video is an abomination

OH MY GOD THAT SOUNDS REVOLTING/AMAZING I wish I still drank so I could try that around 2am, super drunk and needing stodge.

(I can't stop reading this thread title as if it were song lyrics, dear god help me
Dinner with a Britisher
She ordered prawn and rocket pizza
When it came she put ketchup on
I have piiiiiiiiiiiiics...)

((I have not watched the video))

so much yucky looking sauce on the thing, wtf the north?

you shouldn't need to eat pizza with a spoon

prefer to dip into my sauce tbh but if that's garlic yog then i'd still smash it

but it's delicious garlic sauce! wish more places did garlic mayo in London, you used to get that a lot when I lived in Bristol

In Britain, I always eat pizza with a knife and fork. It seems only polite.

(In NY, I spent many, many years perfecting the art of eating a slice of pizza without ever, ever touching it with my fingers.)

looking forward to opinions on the London pizza from our cousins across the pond

it looks like a fucking pond tbh

two nations, separated by garlic sauce

London Pizza posing formidable challenge to Scottish munchy box's position as 'heart disease in a box' champion. Good work, Middlesbrough.

Pizza with chips on is standard in pretty much every takeaway place I've been to.in Italy. I've never seen it in London though.

Middlesbrough also has the Parmo, which also vies for the 'direct injection of arteriosclerosis' award.

London pizza is champion forever. first one I had was in Nottingham it was so horrible but the sheer triumph of the "let's put french fries on a pizza, we will call it the London pizza" concept was more important than trivialities like taste

prawns on pizza are of course hilarious but as there is actually a Mexican restaurant in London that calls itself, I shit you not, Wahaca, there are presently bigger fish to fry

there are a bunch of those, and they're really popular
