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

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

imago, Saturday, 13 July 2013 22:24 (ten years ago) link

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?

look the rudimentary idea behind ketchup application is in the vinegar content, it's like balsamic for toddlers

I think one person was shocked and offended by the rocket xp

supermarket shortcut balsamic is r/w vinegar with shitloads of sugar anyway so not even too dissimilar tbh

I would like everybody to note that in the second picture, the slice on the right is not a slice that was upended and left on its back

The slice on the right is in fact a slice laid on top of another slice that's had ketchup applied to it like jam

she then chewed it and spread the resulting paste btwn 2 ketchup packets and ate that

Now it makes sense. I still couldn't get past why you were saying pizza when the photo clearly showed a quesadilla.

Tail in so you know it's a fresh prawn

in tribute to this thread, i made three pizzas tonight. one had red sauce, mozz & variety shrooms. one had pesto, chevre & red pepper. the other had sliced potatoes, olive oil & rosemary. all were served under an inch-thick blanket of rocket & ketchup. except for that last part.

At the Cubs game tonight I saw a Boy Scout cover a slice of cheese pizza with chopped onions and ketchup. I thought about taking all his merit badges away from him.

WmC, Sunday, 14 July 2013 04:51 (ten years ago) link

rocket is good on pizza although obv it goes on after the oven which maybe in those pics it did not, so comparing it to spinach is apples and oranges.

prawn is terrible on pizza.

ketchup is wtf, but who cares pizza is basically children's food.

i haven't had a really good slice in new york yet imo. why don't they use better cheese on the cheese pizza?

caek, Sunday, 14 July 2013 05:21 (ten years ago) link

If there was a "rocket, prawn and ketchup" sandwich option at an M&S I might go for it. Britishes did invent the winning combo of cheddar + relish

pizza is a delicacy caek.

Treeship, Sunday, 14 July 2013 06:15 (ten years ago) link

I just eat prawns with the tail on most I the time, unless it's particularly big you can usually just crunch it up. I stop at sucking the juices out the head like someone I know does....

Have we discussed yet how in greasy British pizza places you often get pizza & chips. Soggy chips.

a late lamented ilxor once told me that he didn't like ketchup in plastic bottles because they put more vinegar in it??

in french it's "la roquette", is my guess

The names are fairly similar rocket / roquette / rucola / arugula

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).
