Considering tomatoes aren't even from Europe the Italians can think whatever they want about pizza, they're not experts, they're just as wrong as everyone else.

And that's why, as a Midwesterner, I proudly put black olives on my tacos. And it's tastes pretty damn great!

Midwestern Mexican food is a whole nother beast.

Pickles are pickles, but personally, I like pickled watermelon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Preparing that yourself or are there places where you can buy pickled watermelon?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

All over the place. If your local store has a large pickle section, you’ll probably find it.

I'm learning so many new things today 🫠

Diced pickles in your tacos. Thank me later

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Taco Bell used to put olives on some of their items way back in the day. I wonder if that’s where all this started.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

This by far the worse crime here.

Power to you, don't let the food snobs stop you!

As long as you aren't putting cheese or sour cream or using those hard shell things I guess it could pass

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

They are definitely putting cheese and sour cream in hard shell tacos.

And ~~pasta~~ noodles are from china

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Asian noodles and italian pasta evolved independently. It's a myth that Marco Polo brought the recipe home.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

It's not about being right, it's about making something that tastes good. Besides that, there are also well established cultural traditions. But as long as people call their ~~garbage~~ pizzas "NY pizza", or whatever and it's well distinguished by "Italian pizza" (or Neapolitan, etc.), I don't see the problem.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

A plain slice in NY, maybe with some red pepper flakes and parmigiana. Fuckin bliss.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

NY style pizza also isn't anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah I’ll die on the Dayton style pizza hill. But seriously most people who come from somewhere with its own style of pizza love that style. For a non hometown favorite Chicago bar style (not deep dish) is excellent.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

....Red pepper flakes?

I'm literally shaking right now

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

...Shaking more red pepper flakes onto your dollar slice?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Can't pass up free condiments amirite?

Are you a purist that says ketchup doesn't belong on hot dogs too?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hot dogs should only have mustard and diced onions on them.

Maybe sauerkraut if it’s a special occasion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Diced onions are for amateurs. Pyramided onions are where it's at.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

For those peasants who've never heard of olio peperoncino

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (3 children)

NY pizza fucking sucks. You want real pizza, go to Chicago. Everyone knows deep dish is where it’s at.

Yeah I said it. Fight me.

I'm a New Yorker and used to date a person from Chicago. We saw eye-to-eye on many things, but we had to be okay with the fact that this debate was not among them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I don’t normally disagree with John Stewart, but for this I’ll make an exception.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s fucking soup with cheese that’s so covered in sauce it will never reach any level of golden brown delicious, nor even be able to dream of it. It’s such a US thing to think that more is better while annihilating all the nuance that makes the thing actually good in the first place.

A deep crust is fine, just put more in it and put that cheese on top where it can really shine. Fill that bad bitch with all kinds of great stuff. Use more than the most basic, one-note pizza sauce.

I was so hyped for deep-dish and it let me down so fucking hard.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lasagna is everything deep dish wishes it was.

I don't think you can eat deep dish pizza with one hand while riding the subway quite so easily.
