The Fish 9025 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I can't believe these last few pages! Italian food is consistently amazing and I've had one of the best meals of my life in Florence. (Il Santo Bevitore). Even the most basic, sandwich van pisses all over normal British food. Saying pasta is flavourless is mental and I can only assume you're not cooking it properly, or buying shit pasta. And Pizza is shit? Pizza is a versatile, delicious and easy meal. Load it up with veg, cheeses and meats. You don't even need a tomato base, you don't necessarily need cheese. I'm livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I might make something else from it later on in the week when I've worked my way through what's left of this pasta. Anyone else on here a budding GENIUS in the kitchen like me? And never mind the "cooking is gay" stuff either. I'm impervious to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12770 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The only way you could prefer cheese on toast to pizza is if you had somehow travelled into the future from 1978 and hadn’t actually processed everything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady on-That’s like saying you can’t prefer Lamb to Beef. A well made doorstep of bubbling and “just starting to brown” cheese on toast, with a splash Lea and Perrins, is a thing of beauty, as is a good pizza.

Pizza is bread with a topping (or toppings) as is cheese on toast Beef wellington is beef in pastry (with a mushroom coating preferably) no sausage involved, so it's a pie not a sausage roll Personally I would rather have the toppings on the side with a nice chunk of rustic loaf and a balsamic/oil dip and then Pasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies don't have to be beef. Pies don't have to be filling wrapped in pastry, a pastry topped dish is still a pie, Shepherd, Huntsman & Cottage pies don't have any fucking pastry at all. So your defence has more holes than ciabatta. You're so many types of wrong, there's only one thing with more variety; Italian food. But that has good taste.

Sorry like, but who mentioned pork, a sausage has to be a sausage irrespective of dead animal (or plant) involved, a beef fillet is never a sausage unless processed into one. Ergo a beef wellington could never be considered a sausage roll. I would agree pies don't have to be filling wrapped in pastry, BUT I am struggling to think of anything pastry wrapped that isn't a pie, a beef Wellington is basically a posh steak bake.

A good pizza place makes amazing pizza with just a few ingredients. The pizza it sounds like you want were last seen on a laminated menu covered in pictures and "GREAT FAMILY DEALS". Feral oaf..

Meenzer 14085 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Prices on that restaurant's menu looked all right to me like. It's got me even more desperate to travel again though, so a big for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 7114 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I didn't look at the prices mate, I was too scared! I worked at the fucking huge hitachi train manufacturing plant at nearby pistoia and they charged about €8 for a lunchtime meal of slop. and by god it was fucking slop mind, guaranteed to sway the opinion of even the most ardent of italian food lovers in here!

OK so I should have said shortcrust pastry, you wouldn't make a beef wellington with choux pastry now would you. Look Italian food is nice apart from Pizza which is massively over-rated (and nowt nor something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
