Overrated things:

[Burney]

Pizza.

It’s actually rather boring, isn’t it? And all attempts to make it more interesting actually render it worse.

Fùck pizza. Fúck it in its tracheotomy-induced neckhole.

Overrated? Quite possibly. However, when it's good, it's good. You can't deny that.

Nope, you've misjudged this one horribly.

****er.

[Burney]

Overrated? Quite possibly. However, when it's good, it's good. You can't deny that.

Nah. When it’s good it’s perfectly OK. That’s it.

It’s no saveloy, battered sausage and chips.

All these claims of ‘the best pizza in London’ or whatever irritate me immensely. IT’S NOT HARD.

And don’t get me started on burgers. There’s a foodstuff that has massively outgrown its actual worth.

[Burney]

Nope, you've misjudged this one horribly.

****er.

Flat bread, hot oven, tomato sauce, mozzarella. THAT’S ****ING IT!

Oh but it is hard. Making the dough properly is a job, and getting the oven to 600 degrees is hard. After that it gets simple. Buffalo mozarella, salami, chilli. Done.

A good burger is worth it's weight in gold but takes lots and lots of effort.

[Monty92]

Flat bread, hot oven, tomato sauce, mozzarella. THAT’S ****ING IT!

No-one's suggesting there's anything sophisticated about it, but why would you not place it in the category of 'simple but tastes ****ing great'?

And there *is* a world of difference between a good and a bad pizza.

Nope, you've ****ed up big time here and any efforts to pretend otherwise will simply be stubborn face-saving.

Do you think he's only ever had pizza from Pizza Hut? Deep pan? With a hot dog in the crust?

Further proof - as if it were needed - that Burney's taste buds are f*cked. Taking food advice from Burney is like asking Stephen Hawkings how to run the 100 yard dash.

It doesn’t taste great. It tastes OK.

And nobody said there isn’t a world of difference between good and bad. Simply that good isn’t that great.

Oh, nobody said it isn’t effort. Just that the effort is disproportionate to the worth of the outcome.

Ditto burgers. Dreary things, really.

You love those slices of pizza off the buffet after they've been sweating under heatlamps for hours, don't you?

[Monty92]

Do you think he's only ever had pizza from Pizza Hut? Deep pan? With a hot dog in the crust?

There is a germ of truth in his otherwise absurd ramblings, which is that pizza has fallen foul of the foodie hipster revolution, when it's simply not variable enough to justify such treatment.

it's alright when you're píssed...

but then again, I'd always go for a doner.

Pizza? Meh! :judge:

In Germany I often eat doner pizza.

Yes. Pizza. With doner meat on. You can't beat it, i.

Nope, the Italian restaurant in my fave resort has a wood burning stove in which they cook quite wonderful pizzas.

In fact, I expect there will be a picture of it somewhere here:

There is absolutely no comparison between something from Dominoes and a proper pizza. They are entirely different things. And ascribing an appreciation of decent pizza as somehow 'foodie' is a little ironic, given the peasant origins of the dish.

A good pizza is a fine thing. A bad pizza is revolting.

[WES]

You’re American. You don’t like any food you can’t eat with your fùcking hands like the worthless animal you are. :shrug:

Stop being silly. The point here is that you your very self have publicly admitted that you prefer a battered sausage to the finest pizza or burger that could be produced.

The game is well and truly over, I'm afraid. :shrug:

Agreed, but equally, the variance between good pizza is negligible, and the kind of people who claim they've found "the best pizza in London" are exclusively ****s.

Now slightly nervous that I may have made this very claim some time ago on Awimb :hide:

Oh, people who claim to know 'the best' anything are invariably ****s. From pizza to cars to footballers, I'll accept anyone's view of what constitutes good, or exceptional, or amongst the best, but claiming to know the definitive 'best'? Fúck off.

Simpler the better.

You see, you're completely wrong there. I'm one of the best, certainly. But obviously you bear the crown for ultimate bestness.

:nod: A floury spud and some mash?

Mash is the king of whatever you call something you eat with the main event. It’s not really a side dish as such, is it, as to suggest so undermines it.

Do you boil or steam? You strike me as a steamer.

I assume you heat the cream / milk / combination. Please tell me you do else never set foot in Limerick again.

I meant as a pizza topping, not a side dish.

I used to heat the butter/cream, but now I take the French view and simply add butter to the riced potato. No milk, no cream, just butter, to about 50% of the weight of the spuds. It's.. good.

I am aware of one local place that offers a pizza that has potatoes as a topping.

For real.

Derek’s

Baby Potatoes,Bacon,Garlic, Rosemary, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella (1,2)

I don't know who Derek is.

Sounds sh1t - I'd have pineapple on pizza before I'd have potatoes. Although neither is clearly the best option.

I have three types of pizza: plain, pepperoni and quattro formaggi. No other kind is required.

1 Plain, 2) pepperoni, 3) mushroom / olives.

You can shove your quatro formaggio up your hole.

Especially these days when it’s barely 2% and cut with god knows what.

Miss the old days imo

Actually I sometimes have mushroom and pepperoni. Olives on pizza = meh.

Quattro formaggi is quite wonderful; it's just a plain pizza with better cheese. If they get the gorgonzola proportions right it is quite exceptional.
