Back or front, I’ve heard of… But eating a pizza from the side!? Lol
Btw pineapple pizza is the best. Tomato juice also rocks. Fight me. Haha
Based on what I’ve heard on the Internet, Italians will straight murder you for eating anything other that a meal directly cooked by their grandmother because it’s ineffably wrong, and not endowed by the spirit of Italy.
If course, actual Italians I’ve known are normal people who typically don’t care what you eat.
I mean the correct order is the tip with a bite of the crust from one side, then continue to go along that side biting a piece of the crust along with the base pizza. Unless you have something like curry on the side, then you can just not eat the crust at all and use it as breadsticks for the curry.
I’m confused by this comic, because she’s literally eating it crust first, which is not the side. And crust first is a 100% qualified way to eat pizza.
Also pineapple is one of the best toppings
I usually go with garlic butter or ranch for the crust breadstick, but curry sounds pretty good.
Oooh garlic butter is gonna be my next one to try. Pizza and spiiicy spicy curry is my hangover special - leftover curry and make or order pizza and then eat the crusts with the sauce. Garlic butter sounds like heaven though.
E: Tomato soup is also another great one for dipping crusts.
I know it’s a joke, but just let people enjoy things, you know?
Sweet with salty is hardly an anomaly in the culinary world. Salted caramel anyone? Ham glazed with honey anyone? Basalmic glaze over tomatoes anyone?
I’ve never understood why people get so worked up over this combo. It’s totally rational and, for many, subjectively delicious (which is, like you say, all that matters).
No one freaks out when people order food with cilantro even though it literally tastes like soap to some people. They just say “cilantro is not for me, tastes like soap” and get back to their burger or whatever.
The only reason people get worked up over pineapple on pizza is because there are extremely few places that do it correctly. Most just open a can of frozen chunked pineapples, plop it on and hope for the best. It makes the dish disgusting. Also doesn’t help that certain areas of the world prepare the rest of the pie in a completely different manner resulting in very different flavor and texture experiences. A Chicago style with pineapple would be very different from new york style with pineapple.
I’ve also had properly made pineapple pizza before and subjectively speaking, it was just ok at best. Not anything to rave about or get up in arms about, honestly pineapple has more than just sweet in it’s flavor so it still tastes off and doesn’t vibe well with the rest of the ingredients like your other examples do. Only a select few people will like it. Probably the same reason most fruits aren’t used with pizza like strawberries or cantaloupe.
Combine both those things together though and you get a recipe for a controversial dish.
They even have a flavor in most restaraunts called sweet and salty which is just sugary syrup added to whatever savoury sauce. So it’s not like it’s an under represented flavour either. Like I get some people have a simple palette that can only handle one flavor at a time. Maybe they can learn to accept all of the rest of us who like combining flavors.
Eating crust first is a war crime.
To me it’s like eating your least favorite candy in a mixed bag first - you’re left with the best part last. You have to leave just a bit of it so you can still grab it.
E: Also, if you eat all the crusts last they usually go dry and hard instead of nice and warm when you eat them first or as you go along. Depends on whether the dough is good really.
If you are just force feeding yourself the crust, maybe not eating the crust would be a better choice since it is just carbs at that point.
… There’s fucking tomato sauce not even a 16th of an inch below the ketchup. WTF is wrong with them?
Is that catboy Jerma?
This is how it feels when someone doesn’t like how you live your life.
