in what country do pizzas cost $30? edit: damn your pizzas are either huge or expensive, here in finland a standard pizza costs about 12€ and with 25€ you get heavenly pizza made with the best ingredients baked in a wood fired oven. And i thought food here was expensive
I live in nyc. You can get large plain pie for $18 from most places. Toppings are usually about $4 each.
But there are expensive places. At work we ordered some pies for an in-office event last week. The guy picked a fancy place where all the pies were at least $30.
I went to a place on the Oregon coast not that long ago that was selling large pizzas for $43. There was nothing special about the pizza, it was not in a particularly touristy area, I don’t know what they were thinking.
That’s what I thought. Imagine paying 30 bucks for a pizza in (I assume) the US and then be expected to give a six dollar tip. Brutal. I’d never order in.
This is literally the situation with my mother in law.
My SO is an only child and I would describe her mom as having more money than sense (at least when it comes to her kid), so we’re careful about mentioning anything that we need to go and buy or anything like that around her, or we’re going to get a month’s supply of that thing, every time we visit for the next six months.
I’m pretty sure we said little more than “we should pick up toilet paper on the way home”… Next time we were there, my trunk was filled with the stuff.
So we’re rather careful about what we mention around her. She means well, but I don’t have the space to support her filling up my home with toiletries on the mention of having to buy it.
I appreciate that she cares but we take care of ourselves in that respect.
A friend of the family is like that. I don’t know what I am supposed to do with a machine that makes grilled cheese. Like okay one in a while, I don’t need to make 40 at a time.
Will they still taste like olives? Because I’m guessing they will.
This is like someone saying “I don’t like apples” and someone else saying, “red delicious doesn’t taste like granny smith.” Yes, but they still both taste like apples.
Depends on what do you mean by “taste like olives”.
For example, someone saying pizzas all taste like pizzas could be right if they mean that they all have the base taste of the dough. But then the overall taste is very different based on the toppings.
Taggiasche olives have a much stronger taste, something that’s usually made with Green ones would probably suck made with them and vice versa, that’s what I mean.
First of all the black and greens have quite different taste. The taggiasche have a totally different flavour. Like there’s people not liking black olives but are in love with taggiasche.
Turns out the flavorful chemicals in fresh orange juice go bad really quickly. Standard industrial practice is to treat the juice to remove the flavor for bulk storage, then each brand has a proprietary “flavor mix” they add at the time of filling the individual containers.
Keep in mind the flavour packs are typically made from oranges (that’s how they can still call it 100% orange juice) but it’s still weird to think about. This is also how different brands can have their own distinct and consistent flavour.
Back when I worked at Burger King in high school, there was me and a stoner running the late shift. I’m running the drive through and the guy wants a Whopper, plain but heavy, heavy, heavy, […], heavy, heavy pickles. I push the “heavy pickles” button about 7 times. He probably said it 15-20. The stoner starts giggling and says “I’LL GIVE THIS FUCKER JUST WHAT HE ASKED FOR.” He proceeds to put, easily, 100 pickle slices on the sandwich. At this point it’s a pickle burger with a little meat. It goes out the window and we go about our day.
Manager gets a call about 15 minutes later. Guy calls in and asks to talk to the person who made his sandwich. Manager says “sigh, what did he do this time?” Guy says he’s been eating at Burger King for 15 years and this was the first person to make his Whopper the way he wanted.
I struggle with spices. I make it clear at every Indian/Thai places that they should pretend I am from their country in terms of spice levels. That they literally can not make it to spicy even if they tried. That I want them to gag and cough and cry just being in the same room as my food. And yet all of them fail me.
Try Tibetan. It’s a kind of spicy I’ve never experienced before or since. I’m not a huge spiciness fan, but it’s totally different from the spiciness of Indian or Thai food, the spiciness of Mexican food or even the spiciness of horseradish. I do know that I took a Mexican friend to a Tibetan restaurant and he bravely ordered the hottest level of spiciness and said he totally regretted it.
