Alex 30414 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Sounds like the woman who used to run the ice cream shop in Seaton Deleval who would hoy a radgie if you had the temerity to ask for vanilla when you meant plain (or maybe it was the other way around, can't remember) That's still there (the Crescent Cafe). Been superseded by Cicarelli's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34475 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I went to the Seaton Delaval place and wasn't that impressed. After people had gone wild about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30414 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I would never let him see me that weak. [emoji38] I love a good ham and Pineapple tbf but I think he'd have your head in the pizza oven. Tbf, I totally agree with the less is more approach to pizza toppings. And I love a nice pizza, but he still takes a bit far. It's pizza ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pizza ffs [emoji38]Ah totally. Remember he had posters up in the Chilli Road place telling people how to eat the pizza and signing off with "respect the craft". [emoji38] I fucking love the pizza though and it's an absolute banker for a class feed - he does really nice starters and desserts now too. I even had an espresso martini last time I was there. [emoji38] I'll genuinely be gutted if it's game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38] I'll genuinely be gutted if it's game over. I occaisonally make them. Created my own version Think I posted the recipe on here once (for Brock). You're right though as loads of the pizza places in town etc. are a bit naff considering how many of them there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34475 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Howay let us have the recipe then. I looked it up the other day when I got back in and I've got vodka, kahlua and an espresso machine arriving on my birthday so I'm fully ready to go. What tweaks do you introduce?

Tooj 17 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I do a nice home made pizza like. You'll never get as good as somewhere like Cal's though, simply because you can't replicate the heat of a proper wood fired clay oven. Gemmill just make sure you use 00 flour and if possible let the dough rise for about a day. Also use san marzano tomatoes for your sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 If you're in town I'd recommend Dat Bar for a pizza these days like, all sourdough base and proper lush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per person: 1 measure of espresso (made in advance and cooled down or the ice will melt) 1 measure of coffee liqueur (Kahlua, Tia Maria etc) 1 measure decent vodka 1 measure white creme de cacao (which you can get loads of places - Sainsbury's etc. It's not a 'cream liqueur like Bailey's etc. it's clear). Shake with ice and strain into a Martini glass You wouldn't drink loads of them but they're a nice aperitif for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34475 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Nah never been teetotal but I can go weeks and months without a drink. I very rarely get monged but I like a bit drink in the house. I'm alcoholically intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Never been to Cal's but mentioned in the Lunch thread before, Elder & Wolf on Whitley Road has one of them ovens and does some lush Pizza's and flat bread based bait. Been a couple of times now and happy with both servings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14055 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 All this talk about cracking food options in and around town, and where did my folks take us when we visited at the weekend? The Wetherspoons on Gosforth High Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30414 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Also, tell you what's quite nice, two parts decent silver tequila to one part coffee liqueur. Just serve over ice in an old-fashioned glass / tumbler. Obviously easier than fannying about with a cocktail shaker / waiting for the coffee to cool down too. Came up with that after I got some of that Italian Espresso Liqueur Aldi have in atm. I don't doubt someone else got there first with at least something very similar like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also use san marzano tomatoes for your sauce. get a pizza stone and shovel. you can get modern ovens pretty fucking hot with one of those and they cost next to nowt. pizza cooks in next to no time and tastes pretty close to what you'd get in a restaurant, minus the smoky taste you get with a wood burning oven pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
