Unliked pizza

I'm a big fan of anchovies on pizza. So much umami.

And it's defense against my wife ordering a salad and then deciding that half of my pizza was actually what she wanted for dinner.

I think anchovies is an ingredient in Caesar salad. Also A-1 steak sauce.

Anchovies definitely are. Not sure about A-1 though.

No 1 likes eating anchovies straight from the can. He did put some on one of the pizzas I made and I will have to say, it wasn't too bad, in limited quantity. I guess my tastes have changed a little since I was little.

Back in the day, a Japanese friend and I liked to put squid on pizza we made. Strangely, a lot of non-Asian people didn’t like it.

Anything with Pineapple. Fruit (tomatoes excepted) do not belong on pizza.

If people want fruit on their pizza it very much belongs for them. I don't know why folks worry about what other people have on their pizza.

Agree. Hard to beat the combo of savory (pepperoni or Canadian bacon) with pineapple for me.

When I did my EAP year abroad in England, tuna and corn pizza was all the rage. I did NOT adopt that Britishism.

Ewww. Though in Taiwan they put seafood on pizza. The Costco combo pizza was something like Shrimp and one other seafood. It actually wasn't bad. Generally I do not get seafood on my pizza, but we wanted to try a slice.

CAL

Ak_A_bear's avatar

Listened to SplitZoneDuo podcast yesterday, their recap of the cfb season per their commentators predictions. Sigh, early on I heard mention of Florida State and their "sole FBS win by 5 over Cal" entirely regarding a FSU prediction. Well, I thought, that's out of the way. No toward the end of p-cast it was repeated over and over to emphasize FSU shortcomings....with Cal just along for the ride...but I could hear the dog or bear whistle.

When they reviewed the most interesting games of the season, Cal - Miami came up in passing with the take home word being "messy."

This is at the basis of my unhappiness with campus administration's support of Cal football: the loss to FSU is just more evidence that football is tolerated a whole lot. If they could find a way to ditch football without bringing on a firestorm of criticism, they would.

THOUSAND OAKS – The California men's golf team climbed two spots into a ninth-place finish with a 4-under-par 280 in the third round of the Southwestern Invitational on Wednesday.

Republican rep suggests that DEI may be at fault for tragic mid-air crash. There is no bottom. https://bsky.app/profile/duhburnz.bsky.social/post/3lgxonwhwsc2m

It's way past time to punch back on these creeps that want to burn down everything. It's more likely that the GOP's longtime hostility towards air traffic controllers (since Reagan fired all of them in 1981) is to blame.

Democrats need to have a unified message and punch back. Go low, no more moral high ground. If Biden were still president, trump would have tweeted immediately that this was all Biden fault. Hell, he is currently blaming this on Biden and Dems and DEI.

I heard Trump had letters sent to ATC that they should quit? Is this true first of all, and secondly why? Not that this a$$hole ever needs any valid reason to do anything. He and all his cronies make me sick to my stomach. How many more days do we have to go?

Are Fabergé eggs better scrambled or poached?

Expand full comment
SGBear's avatar

99% of what I know about Faberge eggs is from the movie Octopussy. I recall seeing one in London and thought it was an interesting piece of engineering, but the whole thing seemed like doing something difficult for difficulty's sake - something only a monarch could command people to commit so many resources to do. It made me feel slightly uneasy about it because it seemed like... exploitation.

I had forgotten about that in Octopussy. I learned how to steal one by watching Oceans 12.
