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

non-britisher ketchup story: at lunch with co-workers and this one guy i didn't know so well ordered a burger and when it came asked for a bottle of ketchup. the server said they only supplied it the little pots. without pausing the guy said he wanted six of them. then proceded to pour ketchup over every bite he took.

First day in the US, my husband is dining alone, eating chips or something (fries! god) and asks for tomato sauce. The waiter is hugely confused, trying to work out what kind of tomatoey sauce he could possibly mean, eventually bringing out the chef so that they can work together and bring him this elusive jus.

On the plus side I learned how to pronounce geh-redge tonight

This woman is not representative of British culture. She is an aberration. This behaviour is disgusting.

Though to be honest I'm less concerned about the ketchup factor than I am about putting prawn and rocket on a pizza.

USA: takes rocket to the moon
UK: puts rocket on a pizza

i just...i don't think we can ever get along

did she leave a tip?

I endorse this ketchuppy move because why not? Carpe diem, #YOLO, etc.

On the plus side I learned how to pronounce geh-redge tonight7

And I'm not even sure what this means. Garage? That's not how you pronounce garage. Kedgeree? David Gedge? Nope, not those either.

It's how you pronounce garage if you don't want to be POSH

It sounds more posh than the way I say it. Garridge. Not Geh-redge.

garridge m8. xp!

Away with ye britsih phonetics

I finally met one of yous tonight. I know everything about your culture. What you eat, what you wear

actually geh-redge is kinda how i would say it if my the v unposh scottish element of my accent was more prominent. gerrij.

Starting to think yr friend is not really a britisher dude, soz

Its pronouned shed, s-h-e-d shef

wd it have been more acceptable w/sriracha y/n

No side of chicken wings & barbecue sauce = not very British

Sriracha and pizza were made for each other

does she know about this thread?

HP Sauce = the only brown sauce worthy of being put on anything
Daddies = vile chemical filth

I mean, never mind cola flavoured wine, I'd drink an HP flavoured cola.

乒乓, repeat after wiley

I think the fact that the shrimp on the pizza were served in-shell is the worst part; it's like getting barbecue chicken pizza with the chicken in the form of bone-in wings

that said, HP sauce is indeed superior to any US condiment

tbh if you put ketchup on any pizza you're out of my team - i'll allow it for crust dunking

also re: pronunciation was this woman Daphne Moon by any chance?

Lol

Prawn/rocket pizza obv classic. Ketchup obv fucking insane.

Love,

The Original Batshit Britisher Pizza Thread Monster

Girl at school used to put ketchup on her *breakfast cereal*. She was German.

ketchup doesn't taste very good

How about dipping pizza in burger sauce (Woking style: half salad cream / half ketchup)?

In Trinidad you have to specifically ask them not to smother your pizza in hot pepper sauce, otherwise it comes as standard irrespective of which pizza you ordered. Ketchup is barbarianism, though.

hot pepper sauce and pizza is a gr8 combo, when I have pizza at home I usually put encona on it anyway

They put mayo on pizza here in Mexico gaaaaaaaaah so much worse than ketchup.

What's with "Britisher"?

what is brown sauce

*leaves goal unattended*

My friend's father regularly puts butter on his pizza
He is from Sligo

My mother in law always poured olive oil on her pizza. She would also cut herself slices of cheese and then spread butter on them.

i like pepper sauce on pretty much anything but the thin stuff not the gloopy stuff

A brushing of olive oil on a fine Italian pizza makes perfect sense. Butter on cheese is vomit central. All sorts of weird associations itt

how i break it down is pizza is not essentially fancy food and people shdn't get over-protective and pissy about it but grown adults who put ketchup on any food bar fries and the occasional sandwich needs to get their tastebuds shaved

absolutely otm

that said, pizza is still a great Italian dish and the deep-pan monstrosities visited upon it by Americans are galling enough without 'em having the barefaced cheek to claim a bit of fresh rocket on pizza is the devil's work

does rocket = arugula?

Yes.

Wait wait wait! So people are shocked and offended by someone putting arugula on a pizza, when spinach is a pretty common pizza topping, and arugula is a similar leafy green vegetable?

Whole Foods carries a prosciutto and arugula (rocket) frozen pizza that I get from time to time. Yum!

only thing that can help that pizza is some rocket

Last February in London, I ate a pizza topped with confited Anjou pear, smoked ricotta, borage, and gobs of parsley. I wanted to be snarky about it, but it was dope.

u ate dessert pizza basically

Basically. It looked like castoff from a bad Pimm's cup, tbh.

Eating americanized indian curry with mash potatoes

still haven't recovered from thomasina myers being the founder of the wahaca food chain

the other night i had the new kedgeree pizza at zero degrees

it wasn't that good

however it did feel like it tumbled directly out of my 21-year-old mind, which is why i got it

*looks at menu description*
much as I like both kedgeree and pizza, this sounds terrible... Although probably better than the peking duck.

carne asada one is nice.

thus reminding me of the time i told ilxor 'carne asada' that their name was a pizza and their subsequent incomprehension/ire

well yeah it's a bit like telling someone called kedgeree that their name is a pizza

gettin schooled by a chocolate egg here

Hadn't noticed this thread. If pizza wasn't a mongrel food to begin with, someone might have cause to be offended.

The endgame is of course curry nacho cheeseburger pizza. It will hit all the salt/sugar/fat buttons and we'll love it.

A place around the corner does a pizza with gyro meat, black olives, red onions, fresh tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, tzatiziki sauce and extra cheese. It's my go-to whenever we order in lately.

do whatever you want to a pizza

i would eat that gyro pizza except tzatiziki sauce is really unecessary

Tombot, that sounds as much like a flat kebab as it does a pizza. Approved.

That is a salad

i didn't notice before but it's got some of that black oil krycek stuff from the x-files on it

Lj did you put any chocolate on your kedgeree pizza?

nuke sweden

The most Swedish pizza there is. Pineapple, banana, curry. pic.twitter.com/aGum8QybJ7

Excellent proof that there is such thing as bad pizza (ffs Sweden)

Lawyers for Julian Assange should consider using this pizza to fight his extradition.

I would 100% eat that pizza

I would eat that pizza too.

Does it have cheese? If so, which?

I'd take a bite out of it at 4 am after a monumental beer bender.

looks like something I’d produce after a 4am beer bender

I mean I've enjoyed a lot of durian pizza in my time and that looks like the closest approximation I'm going to find.

I would add red pepper flakes or hot oil. mmmmmm.

i would v much eat that pizza especially with some spice

I would eat that but I would not call it a pizza.

*barf emoji*

Usually I don’t pay attention to the smear tactics — but this time, I couldn't resist.

A dark money group is spending thousands against me claiming I'm from NYC (I'm not) and that I like bagels (I don't).

FYI - this is how we do pizza in South Texas. With hot cheetos. 😎 pic.twitter.com/MfR1hHnaCX
