This is the best. Take one bag of tortilla chips, and sprinkle on a plate. Open one large can of chilli and pour over the top. Cover with sliced jalapenos (from a jar of course), sprinkle grated cheese (from a bag) over the top and grill the whole lot until the cheese melts.

Do it, do it now!!

Have you considered changing your name to Delia Smith?

Took my lad to visit Pompeii last March and we popped into a local 'greasy spoon'
These four German Hells Angels came in and ordered a 'Volcano'
The pizza had a big cone in the centre and looked hot hot hot.

thats now my ambition, to invent a themed pizza.

A quick Google throws up this: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2...sensation.html

I'm notr sure it looks very tasty though.

what can of chilli ?
do you mean like a can of mince with chilli stuff and beans ?

will try this

indeed, chilli con carne in a can. Lidls is best, if you live near one. Another supermarket will stock similar.

mmm, get a pizza base from tesco and make your own. Suprisingly easy and quick and you can target those taste buds with exactly what you like.

I have done it.
Friends, I give you my new themed pizza - The Gordon Brown

Very cheesy, cooked in a microwave and spun for five minutes, it features raised expectation edges with a large depression at the centre, contains haggis and is very very thick. Worth £2.50 but will cost £125.00 due to administration and delivery costs. Likely to destroy your economy and causes internal effects likened to 'birth pangs of a global disorder'

I had a kebab last night and I'm still alive, does that make me indestructable

The main issue is the fat and salt content. Even though the fat drips off on the burner, there's plenty more left in there as you'll know if you've ever nuked the leftover for breakfast

There was also the side issue that some that were supposed to be halal contained pork. But that's a religious/etnicicity argument rather than a safety argument surely?

As my old mother used to say, everything's OK in moderation

That now points to: http://www.musicandfilm.co.uk/404.htm

Bearing in mind I haven't read the article...

Kebabs are also considered about the healthiest of the fast food options. The gas burner kills the bacteria that lands on the surface of the meat from the street and so food poisoning is very rare. (Mentioned by a health minister a few years back.)

The meat drips fat; which is good. It ends up being very lean in the pitta bread.

Provided you don't opt for the oil-based dressings, you'll have lean meat, a load of salad and unbuttered bread. A damn site better than a MacFatty burger.

Complete opposite of the article.

They found kebabs to have enough saturated fat to kill a person in a week.

Laden with more calories than a whale eats in a month.

And the type of meat even included traces of human flesh and giraffes.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good kebab!

But never, even after 12 pints of old wallop have I ever thought that it was going to be good for my health!

Yep, I will do as you and EternalOptimist suggest and get a (very) plain one, i.e just the base. No doubt it would be cheaper and superior to ones that come coated with toxic substances.

More, more! Did I tell you I've even switched to ultra-light mayo?

Yikes...... thats just sooooooo wrong!!!

Have you considered a marga.. margue.. a plain one?

On a related note never buy a "meat feast" supermarket pizza. I've no idea what kind of crumbled meat they scatter over it and what kind of sauce the meat has been soaked in, but the result is most vile and unmeat-like. Even after picking off all the "meat" and adding more cheese (I always do this anyway), I was still left with something unpleasant. Perhaps worse even than a kebab. I usually get away with it with a pepperoni pizza, with only minor cheese and sometimes meat additions.

Thinking about it, when I went to uni there was a pizza place that did a doner kebab pizza. Food of the gods
