Re: Pizza toppings

The newer locaal kum and go's serve a breakfast pizza in the morning. You can get sausage or bacon or both with scambled egg and onion and cheese. My local fav here in Bugaha is Big Freds or Bene` with artichoke hearts on it.. Now I'm hungry too.........................

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..."

How did you know? You can order the pizzas from now on.

Who doesn't like little fishies? =^..^=

Re: Pizza toppings

Breakfast pizzas are good, I get a slice or two at the Casey's stations around here from time to time. Not only are they tasty like a bacon or sausage omelet, they also have good enough structural integrity that you can eat the slices while driving, as long as traffic isn't too bad and there's a napkin within reach.
When I was growing up, there was a place run by two Greek gentlemen nearby that served pizza with ham, pineapple and sauerkraut (the sour type, not that yucky sweet tasting stuff). As I love sour sauerkraut (try using it on ribs rather than barbeque sauce), I liked that a lot. But as I'm older now I don't know if my internal constitution could handle it anymore.
Rats, now I'm hungry too, even though I had a Godfather's classic combo personal pizza on my way home today.

A dear fiend of mine used to call this nuclear blast pizza. I used to stay clear for at least 6 hours afterwards. =^..^=

Re: Pizza toppings

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.

It sounds like you have never had back bacon.(peameal bacon). Yes, ham and back bacon both come from pigs, in that sense they are similar. The texture is definitely different. I think you need to buy better back bacon. lol. Ham is generally smoke, and back bacon is brined, so the taste is different as well.

Re: Pizza toppings

Well this thread has taken off pretty well! I'm going to concede to the greater pork product experts on the differences between ham and ham-like products. I do agree about the different textures, especially between deli style and others (I prefer country style- salty, not sweet.) Told the wife about this thread last night, so off we went for pizza- Pepperoni, ham, beef, onions, and green bell peppers, thin crust and mozzarella. Topped it off with a nice garden salad and some fresh baked garlic bread sticks. Sugars were a little high this morning, but man was it good . Nothing else would have done. I guess I'll have to look for a breakfast pizza.


On the subject of anchovies- I have had them on pizza before. Didn't mind them, but not an ingredient of choice. I remember it tasting quite salty, but not fishy. We watched a cooking show the other night where they processed up raw chicken livers and added them to a stew just before it finished cooking. When they tasted it they said you couldn't really feel or taste the livers, but that it was like anchovies- you don't notice them, but you would if they weren't there.

It's cut from the same area, just a different preparation process. That's like saying milk and chocolate milk are two totally separate things. The difference comes from the milk itself, not the additives.

The name implies the back, but it actually comes from the loin.
