pizza

[hyperD]

Alas, I can't stand pizzas and italian food in general. I despite any red, tomato-rich herb sauce*, hate pasta with a passion, and find the effort of chewing lumpy old dough a bit tiresome.

Why do people go so nuts over pasta ? It's wet, inspid, tasteless, bland rubber.

*red sauces, made with a little tomato and flavoured with spices is another matter...Cajun especially...

BGG, it sounds like you've not eaten homemade fresh pasta and tomato sauce.

I'd agree with everything you've said if you've only had insipid restaurant or supermarket frozen stuff packed with artificial colours and flavours (including Dolmio so called sauces).

For our permie readers, a lower cost alternative is tomato ketchup on toast washed down with a swig of value lemonade.

HTH

Except for those of us who manage to maintain their lifestyle having wangled a nice permie job for a fair old whack in finance... Brunello di Montalcino is a reassuringly expensive alternative to a Chianti Classico. I recommend the Soldera Estate, around 10-15 years old. (No sniggering please).

I have to say I prefer a good Italian to an average bit of French.

Mushrooms only on a dominos pizza - that does it for me. I'm not a veggie btw, I just like good old fashioned cheap arse mushrooms on pizzas and nothing else.
