Pizza flavors
« on: June 22, 2007, 07:18:56 PM »
Ok, I just had to share this. I was looking at the takeaway pizza menu tonight and came across this gem:
Tex Mex (Hot to Handle!)
Authentic Mexican chilli beef pizza topped with mozzarella and feathered with hot sweet chilli sauce.

Authentic what?!!!  :o

Hahaha...Britain is a treasure trove of "authentic" American cuisines. Chili (excuse me,
"chilli") seems to figure prominently in most.

I think it might have something to do with being able to grow chillis here. Therefore, everything must have chilli in it.  ;) I can't stand it.

Tuna and sweetcorn is the one that turns my stomach. Bleuch!

Interesting fact that I've just discovered: the Margherita Pizza is actually named after Margherita of Savoy, Queen of Italy (late 1800's-early 1900's)!!

Quote: 'In 1889 the pizza Margherita was named after her. It is the colors of the Italian flag. Red sauce, green basil and white cheese. Her name means "daisy" in Italian. Margherita Peak, the highest point of Mount Stanley, the third highest mountain in Africa, is named after her.'

I always thought it was just the name used for a chesse and tomato pizza, with no particular meaning, lol!

Tuna and banana is by far the worst I've seen here. It's supposedly popular here too. YUCK!

I often had Pizza Margherita in the US! I thought it was a pretty universal thing.

For the common US pizza joints it is cheese and tomato or just cheese, nicer places will call it Margherita.

Just like spag bol... I had no idea what that was until I saw it was just spaghetti with meat sauce.

I actually like it now! LOL. I should maybe preface that by saying that we really only eat pizza when we're very hungover or very drunk, so maybe my tastebuds aren't at their best.... But sweetcorn is nice - just a nice sweet, crunchy little tidbit on a veggie pizza.... DH likes tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches and that doesn't appeal to me at all, but then I don't really like tuna sandwiches....  :)
