I like my pizzas thin and crispy.

Me too. I don't like deep pan at all, or stuffed crust or anything fancy. In fact my favourite pizza is a margharita, made with really fresh tomato sauce, a bit of olive oil and fresh basil leaves (plus mozzarella).

I quite like bufala, but I was told in Naples that it wasn't really the type that should be used for pizza topping. I don't know whether that's true or not so will have to ask lir.

That one they rave about didn't use buffalo, I watched.
I would have to ask DH.

He does put buffalo on sometime, but only for less than a minute at the end, not as a cheesy cheese IYSWIM.


If I ask him a bout cheese he'll want to go there though. I saw they had burrata in waitrose this summer. I haven't checked since, thoughi meant o buy DH one.

I like my pizza thin and crispy and simple as well although I will go as far as having some pepperoni on it.

I don't have a problem with charities owning shares in arms manufacturers especially if they are acquired in the secondary market as the arms manufacturer doesn't actually get the money and the charity gets a % of the profits of the company and can spend it on charitable stuff. If the charity didnt own the shares the arms manufacturer would still be there and would make the same profit...

My favourite chain pizza is Pizza Express. My favourite Hertfordshire pizza however is from here:

If I could choose pizza toppings .... as opposed to "making do" with the available options as that always works out cheaper than being picky .... I'd want: spicy/hot beef, pineapple, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, onions and mozarella.

Bag them up and go do a car boot sale

That won't work.

What I might end up doing is buying them for. Myself, paying full vat on them and using as animal bedding.

There must be better options for them. What did they cost and how much would animal bedding cost you?

I noticed earlier that treliac was lurking on the wider Debate board. On the off-chance that she signs on and stops by here, I just wanted to say hi.

And I was thinking earlier of Bugslet and fc123 ... and wish them both well in their current unfortunate, but similar, times.

Just been on another thread talking about cr*p, whether it is or not. Referred to the pile of fire bricks at the Tate Modern that fetched a fortune, because someone saw beauty in them. Moved onto other things that are cr*p but memorable, and I mentioned the Reliant Robin. Noone will forget that classic shape, but still a rubbish car that has become a style icon.

Can any Nice People think of other classics that fit this category? You know it's absolute garbage but its acquired a cult status that people will pay good money for? Or is it just me who is out of synch?
