/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Might be you just grew up, and your standards did along with it.

How do you specify a good pizza? Is it a crunchy crust, an ultra thin crust, or a doughy crust? Is the cheeze mozzarella, or more yellow stuff? Is there a lot or a little sauce, is it spicy or tomato-y or herby? Are there a lot of fillings, or are they more sparse?

I dunno, I live in Finland, and the best pizza comes from the imgrunts here. Franchise restaurant pizza is decent too, but they skimp on servings and overprice their product, especially home delivery.

The current trend in the better, imgrunt pizzerias is "boat pizza". I wonder if it's a pun, fugees and all. Still, the dough is normal thickness, but the sides of the crust are lifted and knotted at the ends, resulting in standing-up sides, and permitting an outright criminal amount of toppings to be laden in.

My favourite is the hot chicken curry one. Three cheeses, eight toppings, one inner sauce and two topping sauces - a smoky BBQ one and a very sharp, citric and fiery curry sauce.

I feel bad for non-Nordics.
