I live in Scotland, our chip shops do deep fried battered pizza. Get on our levels.
Fuck you now I’m craving a half pizza supper and a deep fried mars bar but the nearest proper chippy is thousands of miles away back home in scotland 😭
I’m ever astonished at the variety of deep fried stuff at Appalachian festivals and fairs. All these stalls trying to one-up the rest with the lengths they are willing to go into hot fat depravity. Grease-boiled confections and savories of every niche. A healthcare nightmare. But this is a region steeped in despair. It’s tough to heap blame on folks giving up.
We do have deep fried cheesesteaks
I think maybe I could go for some deep fried cheesecake
I’m craving deepfried meatshake…
They probably have that at a state fair here in the US. They deep fry everything there, even Oreos.
State fair’s only around for one time a year, my local chippy is open all year around.
Deep Fried Butter. Stick of fat wrapped in carbs fried in more fat. I don’t think that can be topped.
We are all working class. Don’t let the 1% divide us with their borders.
It’s clear we all love pizza… together. Solidarity amongst the working class!
I don’t know any European that would only eat a slice of pizza instead of the whole thing.
The only time an European eats a single slice of pizza is the next morning after they have overestimated their ability to devour the entire thing.
The third whole pizza*
That slice comes from a pie almost half a meter in diameter. That single slice has the surface area of most European pizzas.
Nope, you deerly underestimate the hunger for pizza over here.
I live in Germany.
You underestimate these Costco pizzas. On the 1600 square centimeters, they pile half a kilo of cheese
I also don’t know any Italian who eats their Pizza by slicing it up, folding the slice, and shoving it into their mouthes, instead of with knife and fork, like a civilized person.
I’ve seen people rolling their whole pizza to eat it like a Lahmacun.
In fact it was only one person but I’ve seen it quite often because we saw daily.
That was in Italy? An Italian person did that?
I’m on my way home from Amsterdam atm, a slice of pizza was €10.
I skipped that and left hungry, because i’m buying two pizza’s and a big bottle of coke when i get home in about an hour.
Damn, you can get an entire large pizza for $10 at Costco. Granted, your only options are pepperoni or cheese, and the quality isn’t the best (far from the worst, though), but it’ll feed 1-3 people.
Still, I miss the days when you could a large pizza with unlimited toppings at various chain restaurants for $10. But that was over 10 years ago.
You only need to be a cosco member and hopefully not have any previous experience with pizza
A large Costco pizza will feed way more than 1-3. I’m not even trying to act like bird food eater here. I’m 225lbs and 6’2” so I know how to eat.
That said, I absolutely love Costco pizza and my safe zone is like 2 slices because they are enormous.
Domino’s still regularly has €5 pizza’s on monday for pickup, at my old job during the late shift we had €17 per person to spend on food and 2 people in the shift.
We used to order 2 family xxl with their thursday 50% off for second pizza and a regular sized cheeseburger pizza+ drinks for that €34.
We both ate half our xxl and shared the regular size one, the remainder came home to feed our wives while the company covered the cost.
They even paid us a pretty decent wage too, but unfortunately the head office decided to build a new automated warehouse right when covid started that ended up only doing 30% productivity and they closed us down as a result.
Where do you think pizza comes from?
Like all things, we have seized it and made it our own. Like how getting Chinese food in an American restaurant only vaguely resembles Chinese cuisine. 💪
Sure, but the Americanized versions of Italian, German, or Chinese foods were made by immigrants adapting their traditional recipes with ingredients they had on hand.
I can’t speak for German or Chinese food, but having been to Italy, a good NYC slice beats anything the Italians have to offer.
Hard disagree there. I’ve visited both and tried both. NYC pizza is disappointingly average.
To be fair Chinese food in Europe doesn’t have much to do with actual Chinese food either
Depends on the restaurant, but in general - yes, proper Chinese is rare.
I mean, tomatoes are a fruit native to the Americas, so even though pizza was invented in Italy, its invention is still tied to the America side of the Atlantic in some ways. Pizza has a very interesting past!
Pizza existed before they had tomatoes tho
I would argue that the modern understanding of pizza in Italy and across the globe is one that includes tomatoes. Things prior to that called pizza would likely not pass as pizza today. And it’s pretty accepted that pizza and tomatoes are very linked. Imo you’re being pedantic.
Guess you never heard of pizza bianca then. Please try not to formulate grand theories before knowing just a sliver of the involved facts, thank you.
Arguing that the history of pizza is not deeply intertwined with tomatoes is a pretty weird hill to die on
Italian pizza is really different than American.
Yes, usually it’s a whole pizza, not one tenth
Pizza al taglio?
Va bene per i bambini
Fun fact, in many places, soft-serve ice cream is known as “Italian ice cream”.
What we are seeing here is a slightly botched traditional Italian lunch.
slightly
ಠ_ಠ
You clearly have never had Italian pizza. Not even close.
Pizza is American unless you want to claim every flatbread is a pizza.
I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.
And a hazelnut vodka.
There are many ways for a heart to implode.
Pork fat is less processed product and certainly more healthy. America isn’t actually great at much but one thing we do have is the least healthy food to ever exist.
Truth. Heart disease wasn’t nearly as prevalent back when we cooked everything with lard. And then Crisco came along, started producing that overprocessed “vegetable oil” garbage, marketed it (and continue to market it) as “healthy”, and people actually fell for their BS. Hell, judging by the amount of downvotes you got, half the public still believes this lie.
A lot of this is because people had to do a lot more exercise during the day than we do now. Not that the lard was better for us. This is where a lot of the downvotes come from. Even the rich had to do a lot more walking. If we could return to the amount of exercise we averaged 50+ years ago, you would see a lot of this decline. The next big thing is the amount we eat. We consume significantly more calories now than we used to. In the past 100 years it has increased ~20%. All the while we have been doing less physically. The third big factor is where the shitty food comes in. Having sugar/highly refined carbs added to just about everything promotes over-eating, while also fucking with your insulin production, and other endocrine issues, that promote fat retention, while also increasing addictive eating disorder likelihood.
Hot roast chicken skin chopped onto rice is a meal fit for the gods.
Better than bacon. And I know those are fighting words in some places. Just embrace the schmaltz and let it drip into the rice.
The key is to get to that skin while it’s still hot, but before it winds up in the fridge. You can reconstitute it in a skillet, like bacon, but it’s just not the same.
Eating animal parts totally makes me feel like a Ferengi eyeing your latinum ring.
Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.
Hah! In Scotland we dip pizza in batter and deep fry it. With a deep-fried Mars bar for afters.

Time to make a pilgrimage
Get drunk before having it, but if you’re coming here you were probably going to do that anyway
That deep fried creme egg looks naughty
I’m calling Gordon Ramsey on your ass.
Gordon Ramsey would deep fry that pizza in wagyu tallow.
The first big wave of immigrants to the US were the Scotch-Irish, which is where the American propensity to deep fry everything comes from.
You can aslo the American usurpation and economic dominance over England as those Scotch-Irish getting their revenge.
It’s like my breakfast and i’m an european. Some american vibe in an eastern europe shithole. But I would add a spicy sauce to the pizza.
Heartburn alert.
Obesity is a natural reaction to an unnatural food environment
I don’t know why but those ice cream things make me physically sick to look at sometimes. That amount of sugar in one sitting is borderline lethal for me.
now imagine drinking it after you just had Pizza+Soda
This is why you need Healthcare.
I’m from the Midwest and never had Costco food before. Tbh, it’d probably kill me too, lol.
Why there is only one slice of pizza?
He ate the rest before he could do a photo
One slice of Costco cheese pizza has like 700 calories
What diameter?
Nearly 46cm
Thanks
One football field divided by a Washington monument.
Regular football or one where bulls smash their heads into concussion? Also who is washing ton monument? And why? I didn’t know americans built monument for ton.
The second kind of football of course! You know, the one where players mostly carry the ball with their hands.
It could kill a European, if consumed by a European. However, it is consumed by an American, so it kills an American.
