I just skimmed back through this thread and am coming to the conclusion that pizza must be stopped

every year we must perform the great dance

that looks more like flatbread with stuff on it rather than pizza, but it looks appetizing nonetheless

sarahell, Monday, 6 June 2016 14:25 (seven years ago) link

gross imo.

Is that sweetcorn? Vile stuff that doesn't belong on a pizza or anywhere else for that matter.

Sweet corn belongs on pizza for the same reason pineapple and (some) BBQ sauces do - sweetness works well with the savoury.

ftr my post was triggered by looking at the scorpion pizza again; I am completely down with the concept of mango + crayfish even if that particular picture doesn't look great

Ha, I grew up in the age of baked bean pizzas (am Britisher). But I'm getting a newfound love for pizza since I gave up meat at the new year - it's the basic veggie eating out choice. And while everyone else is picking delicious meats you're just trying I cram veg toppings on.

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

STOP KILLING ANIMALS, THEY'RE MINT (DJP), Monday, 6 June 2016 14:59 (seven years ago) link

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.

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:22 (seven years ago) link

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

wait

dog latin

are you

are you eating the cob

They don't taste the same at all.

TARANTINO! (dog latin), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:33 (seven years ago) link

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.

TARANTINO! (dog latin), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:35 (seven years ago) link

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

TARANTINO! (dog latin), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:36 (seven years ago) link

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

inside, skeletons are always inside, that's obvious. (dowd), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:39 (seven years ago) link

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

STOP KILLING ANIMALS, THEY'RE MINT (DJP), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:40 (seven years ago) link

Tinned vegetables are usually not good, yes

Corn on the cob is still sweetcorn

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link

dog latin otm

Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link

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

inside, skeletons are always inside, that's obvious. (dowd), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link

yeah sweetcorn is just a basic veg

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link

my dubious weight is behind dog latin here too

well you endorsed that crayfish and mango atrocity

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:45 (seven years ago) link

that should be illegal

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:45 (seven years ago) link

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.

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:46 (seven years ago) link

Sounds more like a lahmacun

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:48 (seven years ago) link

Crayfish & mango is good in a salad imo

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:49 (seven years ago) link

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.

emil.y, Monday, 6 June 2016 15:49 (seven years ago) link

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.

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:50 (seven years ago) link

It's all pizza to me man

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:52 (seven years ago) link

What is existence but pizza

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:52 (seven years ago) link

we are merely toppings on life's great flat dough

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link

some of us crayfish, others sweetcorn.

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link

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

emil.y, Monday, 6 June 2016 15:54 (seven years ago) link

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

japanese mage (LocalGarda), Monday, 6 June 2016 16:00 (seven years ago) link

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

puns shouldn't be effortful

mario vargis loosa (wins), Monday, 6 June 2016 16:05 (seven years ago) link

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" >:(
