Included in the manual are the paraphilias - which would include such things as (to put in euphemistically) “variations on baby-making” Hence the one liner… 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few points: Just because YOU don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s crap. Just because YOU think a combo works, doesn’t mean everyone else has to share that opinion. Unlike you, I am happy to eat most anything (including curly fries) as long as it’s made from quality ingredients. I refuse to be lectured to on good food by someone who lives on pre-made, packaged, mostly UPF “food” I had hoped that you’d enter into the spirit of things and enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of making your own LDC from fresh ingredients without denigrating people’s efforts or indulging in petty one-upmanship. Obviously I was mistaken. I shall continue with my quest to make a decent homemade pizza from fresh ingredients and will post the efforts on TNM.

SM42 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 A busy day and it hasn't started yet. Friend's funeral plans have been advised and we have rebooked our trip to the motherland so we can attend. Mrs SM42 has done the shopping. We are off to a friends birthday celebration today, a late change of venue sees us heading south almost into single digit map book page numbers. At least it's better ( but only slightly) than taking on the A14. Mrs SM42 has handed out daily orders for tomorrow and Monday and I shall soon be getting myself psyched up to take on the M40 and M25. The rain patters down. Tomorrow's planned BBQ looks doubtful.

I have yet to decide when I will make the pizza, but I’ve got everything I need in stock except the mozzarella which I’ll buy on the day. I have a new “pizza stone” to go in the oven (it supposedly helps get that “real” pizza texture and flavour). The problem is that most domestic ovens can’t get hot enough. 7 minutes ago, polybear said: The Chef appears to have come out of the kitchen wielding a Meat Cleaver........all I did was ask for some Brown Sauce.... 😱 Consider yourself lucky, Bear. I could have come wielding Cleaver, Butcher’s Knife and Bone Saw. p.s. My comments still stand. Heed them. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea, but if made with good ingredients, would work well enough. The Italians have already trod that path with Pizza Fritta (a Neapolitan street food snack, but no batter), panzerotti and - somewhat more refined - Crescentina Alla Modenese. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
