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

Sweetcorn is literally the worst. Makes me think of what it would be like to eat dead people's teeth.

I like corn on the cob though. More food should be on the cob.

The Minnesota State Fair puts an alarming array of foods on a stick, it's pretty awesome

How can you like corn on the cob and hate sweetcorn?

I actually had a pizza with corn and chorizo recently and it was great. Sorry thread.

Yeah they are literally the same product unless you're like eating the cob

wait

dog latin

are you

are you eating the cob

filed under "things that sound dirty but aren't"

They don't taste the same at all.

Sweetcorn generally come from a tin or a packet and is all squishy and tastes like foot-shavings. Corn on the cob, especially off the bbq and rolled in a little smoked paprika and grated cheese is a thing of wonder.

I think they must add sugar or something to sweetcorn before transit. It's malevolent. Imagine eating that shit. Yeeuch.

Tinned sweet corn is in some kind of sugary brine. (And is still delicious)

this is a weird level of antipathy for something as ultimately harmless as sweetcorn, even if I agree that it doesn't do well on a pizza

Tinned vegetables are usually not good, yes

Corn on the cob is still sweetcorn

dog latin otm

It's more a problem of putting stuff on a pizza that too easily falls/rolls off.

yeah sweetcorn is just a basic veg

my dubious weight is behind dog latin here too

well you endorsed that crayfish and mango atrocity

that should be illegal

i should confess here that i had a "pizza" with slow-roasted goat and yoghurt recently, it was a delicious kebab imo but it was in a pizza place and they called it pizza.

Sounds more like a lahmacun

Crayfish & mango is good in a salad imo

Was it Turkish pizza? That can be good but imo is also not pizza.

xp actually wins is that the proper name for Turkish pizza? I think it might be.

Thought a Turkish pizza was a pide

yeah i guess a lahmacun is more accurate - it was at homeslice in covent garden. nice pizza imo.

xpost i was thinking pide also.

It's all pizza to me man

What is existence but pizza

we are merely toppings on life's great flat dough

some of us crayfish, others sweetcorn.

wiki says lahmacun is Turkish pizza (also known as Armenian pizza) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahmacun

ah man we're crashing into a caucasian semantic hellzone now

calzone more like

i heard this place is good, they seem to say pide. but i've definitely seen lahmacun.

here we go, i googled and found this nice blog:

I am often asked the difference between pide and lahmacun, another national favorite. Lahmacun is also a flat bread with ground meat topping, but it is thinner and in round shape. We like to squeeze lemon over it liberally and roll it like a wrap to eat lahmacun. Pide is oval in shape, thicker and we serve in slices.

crayfish and mango lahmacun

imagining wins' circuits shorting in an effort to find the best pun in 'lahmacun'

puns shouldn't be effortful

wikipedia doesn't seem to acknowledge the common Australian form of pide at all, where the bread usually encloses and is baked around the "toppings" >:(

za'atar man'oush is big round my way though

I pretty much think the only dead animal products acceptable on pizzas are of the cured porky variety.

Sweetcorn seems like it would go very well with pizza in terms of flavor. It doesn't seem like the texture would blend though. I'm going to have to try it and report back at some point.

Love the hell out of lahmacun too. I had some when I went to Germany in the late 90s, then completely forgot about it until last winter for some reason when I went scrambling for a recipe. Damn, and then I forgot about it again until now! I'm going to make some lahmacun this week for sure.

Sweetcorn on pizza is gross and doesn't work at all IMO but I don't think that invalidates the existence of sweetcorn as a food

is "sweetcorn" somehow different from "corn"

do you live somewhere where it's known as "corn"

tinned sweetcorn kind of tastes of fake butter. I like it in small quantities with other things but not really on its own. Corn on the cob is different, yeah

I absolutely just mean "corn". Don't know how we got started on the sweetcorn thing.

sweet corn is corn

If sweet corn is corn why not call it corn?

DL otm btw. Off the cob all the way.

i didn't make the rules!

:)

Hey, 'sweetcorn' is Britishes for 'canned corn' and I'm going to stand with my fellow island-dwellers in saying it's vile, while fresh and lovely corn on the cob is amazing (especially with paprika butter).
