Pizza toppings

Re: Pizza toppings

Anchovies, Black Olives, Italian Sausage, and Jalapenos. Even had a cook come out once just to see "who would eat such a horrible combo". My wife and kids move to a different table if I get "fish". Emujo BTW good subject for "rants raves..."

Re: Pizza toppings

Having seen a "breakfast pizza" on my last vacation when a coworker picked it up, I can tell you the eggs are likely scrambled, as they have the best consistency for the pizza.

My own preference? Varies depending on what I'm feeling. Typically consists of bacon and ham, bacon and shrimp, ham and mushroom, bacon and mushroom. For all you yanks out there, ham is what you refer to as "Canadian bacon". Why do you guys like complicating things?

Hi there!
Tomatos, socalled pizzacheese, 3 different italian salamis (hot!) & some pieces of gorgonzola-cheese. You need alot to drink while eating this one.
Greetings...

Re: Pizza toppings

I've had the pizza with eggs that were like 'sunny side up' and then baked with any toppings that you would use in an omelet.
The yokes were soft and would break open running over the other toppings, very tasteful and creamy.

Emujo, those are my favorite toppings also - anchovies are a must!

Re: Pizza toppings

What we really need to know first is, what direction does the pizza spin when the cook tosses the pizza down under? Clockwise, or "anti-clockwise?" (or "counter-clockwise" for us Yanks.)

Taco pizza here in the good old midwest or when in Chicago a "Chicago " style deep dish sausage kicks ass.

Akitu- What we call Canadian bacon ( back bacon? according to Bob and Doug Mackenzie) is a slightly different texture than what we call regular ham, but both are delicious. When I still lived in Texas you everyone had Canadian bacon for a topping. Now I live in Michigan and it is ham. I have seen the breakfast pizzas, but have never tried one.

Harleyrider- my wife and I ate Chicago style deep dish till it was coming out our ears when I took her there during various copier schools. In fact our anniversary is this weekend and we were trying to figure out where to go. She thought maybe we could run to Chicago for a pizza fix!

We liked both Giordanos (sp?) and Ginos. Now I'm getting hungry, too.

Shrimp and green olive pizza from Valentino's in Lincoln, Nebraska. Only from the original Valentino's on Holdrege st. Not the new one on 77th st. or any of the others.

Yes I did the same thing. (I think I got mine from Lou Malnati's) It's what you call a pizza pie. One piece will set you up right. Coming from the south I never had pizza like that. Very hard to get good pizza where I live period..

Also, another place I had good pizza in was in Germany...

This is really a question for the people down under: The wife and I were watching the morning news the other day when they put up their daily trivia note. It said that the #1 pizza topping in Australia was EGGS!?! Not what I wanted to hear at 5:30 A.M. with my morning coffee! Just curious as to how these eggs are prepared before putting on the pizza: Raw? Fried? What other ingredients such as sauce, cheese, etc. do you use?

My personal preference: Marinara or tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, onions, green bell peppers, and maybe a little pineapple once in a while.

How about everyone else?

Now eggs and pizza? My two favorite foods together. My personal pref. is usually everything. Sausage, peppers, onions, pepperoni, ham, olives, mushrooms. etc. But i'll usually eat any pizza..

Having tried both "Canadian bacon" and ham, I can assuredly say there is no difference in texture. As a former McSlave, I got to see firsthand packages of "Canadian bacon" coming in from the US supplier for the McDonalds company. The texture was undoubtedly similar to any generic smoked ham one may find at the local grocer. If one could count anything as different about it, it would be that the "Canadian bacon" was actually closer to a real ham in terms of how tough it was, whereas a cooked deli ham basically falls apart. The real difference comes not from what is considered "Canadian bacon", but what one considers "ham".

So many different varieties of ham all have undoubtedly different textures, from black forest to honey glazed, due in part to the curing process and the flavouring process, as well as the source of the meat eg. a deli or grocer, or straight up from the farm itself.

Call me a ham connoisseur.

According to TripAdvisor, Chicago doesn't even make the Top 10 pizza cities in the country. That "Best Pizza in the country" goes to.... San Diego
