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

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).

what about frozen sweetcorn

Corn on the cob (known regionally as "pole corn", "cornstick", "sweet pole", "butter-pop" or "long maize")[citation needed] is a culinary term used for a cooked ear of freshly picked maize from a cultivar of sweet corn.

or like if I made a soup or salad or whatever and put fresh corn in it I guarantee you that any British person I served it to would understand it to be sweetcorn

seems like plenty of americans itt were familiar with the word

yep xp, sweetcorn is basically all corn that is people food as opposed to like a feed crop

Corn on the cob is vile too though. :-o

I guess I've only ever heard people call it "corn" except for Minnesotans. It's not like there's other kinds of corn you just eat, is there?

not really - had this at a restaurant once: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvian_corn

i doubt the potential for ambiguity is high but next time someone says "corn" be sure and check "do you mean peruvian corn or sweet?"

Peruvian ceviche with that corn and cold sweet potato would be my frontrunner for last meal on earth, only thing that might come close is my aunt's pozole. Come to think of it I just love corn. Hooray for corn!

They make monster munch out of it too

Corn on the cob is vile too though. :-o

YOU LIE

thread makes me want a big buttery corn on the cob

"Corn" could also be popcorn or flour corn or barleycorn, if barleycorn is indeed an actual thing and not just a name for pubs? I quite liked canned sweetcorn anyway, but corn on the cob is better.

q for americans

I can't speak for the UK but in the US, I have a strong suspicion that serving someone popcorn after they have asked for "corn" would get you a lot of puzzled stares

Mexican style - Elote

All corn is good, but fresh is much better, of course. And frozen corn beats canned corn.

I don't understand how anyone can find corn on the cob vile unless the only time they had it, someone pooped on their corn

so can an american explain creamed corn to me (that was the log lady img I posted just now that isn't showing up on my browser but it is on zing?)

like this def seems like it would push the limits of the "all corn is good" theory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creamed_corn

btw creamed spinach >>> creamed corn

that wikipedia article comes within inches of using the term "resultant paste"
