Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica
As far as I can tell they're even from Italy.
We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.
But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!
My supermarket sells these and they are superior to all other frozen pizzas I had.
The Crosta & Mollica Stromboli has ruined all other pizza for me. It's infinitely superior to everything except perhaps a genuine Italian fresh from the pizza oven.
Yes pineapple, in moderation.
The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.
You're one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren't you?!
Banana Curry?
Fuck..... that's probably actually really good.....sigh
@Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes
Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent
The fuck is a Flying Jacob?!
I honestly have no idea. From wikipedia:
That didn't help much on understanding it. And those are just your regular banans, not the kind you can get from chinese restaurant or something like that.
Plantains? But smaller, bit more bitter, absolutely banging in a Jamaican curry? Or fried....fuck....now I'm hungry.....
Plantain on pizza is pretty good in the right combo.
I could see that
@Sturgist @IsoKiero no, these are literally just bananas, cooked in a dish with some other random ingredients.
Errr... sorry, miscommunication. @IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz had been saying that Flying Jacob is made with regular bananas, not the one's you get at an Asian market. And I was asking if they meant plantains, which are bananas but different. More starchy.
Which I did. In here they're referred as 'food bananas' or 'cooking bananas', I just didn't bother to look up the correct name.
Yeah, I've heard em called cooking bananas before
@Sturgist it is so, so wrong. I've only had it once and I remember it being confusingly good https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying/_Jacob I sort of liken it to weird American recipes like marshmallows and sweet potato (which I've tasted and did *not* like, so who knows)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying/_Jacob
That sounds hideous.
One thing I grew up eating, and I know a few other people who did as well, we all seem to be from North American families of Scottish descent, but have been in NA for the Great Depression....
Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I know it sounds disgusting, but it is legitimately good. Big glass of milk of the side.
@Sturgist honestly I like the sound of the sandwich more than the glass of milk! I've never really understood big cups of milk (my kids love them though). But as a marmite aficionado I am totally on board with you-do-you sandwich combinations.
Maybe slightly lactose intolerant? I can guzzle milk, cheese is no issue, but cooked milk, custard and stuff, kills me.
Highly recommend peanut butter and mayo sandwiches! If you can find the Japanese mayo brand Kewpie, it's highly superior.
@Sturgist yes I am!
I have heard good things about kewpie! But I have *also* heard British people say it tastes just like something we have here called salad cream, which is bewildering as nobody under about 70 would generally admit to liking salad cream
I live in Scotland. Anyone who tells you Kewpie tastes like salad cream needs to stop drinking petrol....
I guess there's a bit of a similar umami to both, Kewpie because it's made with dashi (seaweed and fish stock) though it doesn't have enough to taste of dashi....if that makes sense.
I assume salad cream has something like an 80 year fermentation period before it's "done" stuff is mingin ๐คฎ
@Sturgist it's absolutely rank ๐ that gives me more confidence to bother buying some kewpie. Think they sell it in Sainsbury's...
I'd look for an Asian supermarket. Pretty sure they do sell it at Sainsbury's, but I think the last time I was too lazy to go further than Sainsbury's I ended up paying ยฃ2-3 more than at the Asian market.
Kiwis, no... Australians... maybe (jk)
No, I'm a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeรฑos and chorizo are my usual
Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza...except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese.....
