I hate olives, but this is beautiful

XTornado,

All kinds?

dutchkimble,

Yes all both of them

AeonFelis,

Even Olive Oyl from Popeye?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Ew, who wants to eat her? Other than Popeye and Bluto, obviously.

hey now, there are 3!

brined out of their minds green ones with bell pepper jelly inside them, and then normal green and black ones.

only the brined out of their minds ones are edible.

Alfredo_DisguidoAlCazzo,

There are a tons of variety not only black and greens

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And yet they all taste like olives.

Syrc,

You don’t mess with Italians about olives.

Try some taggiasche and tell me they taste like green ones.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Syrc,

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.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The same thing I mean by “tastes like apples” despite there being many varieties of apple.

Alfredo_DisguidoAlCazzo,

Yeah for example i love red juicy apples and generally hate green/yellow ones.

Alfredo_DisguidoAlCazzo,

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.

5too,

Me too! I don’t know what they’re like for everyone else, but I find them intensely bitter.

Olive oil is awesome, tho

Arthur_Leywin,

I love you and this is ugly.

neonred, in Black olive birthday

That’s actually pretty sweet.

MystikIncarnate, (edited ) in Anything to make their grandbaby happy

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.

afraid_of_zombies,

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.

Mango,

Want. Gimme dat grilled cheese specialized device!

afraid_of_zombies,

Seriously? You want one of those seen on TV kitchen appliances that if you act now comes with a tote bag and is probably going to catch on fire?

I gave it to Goodwill if you must know.

Mango,

Awh, I just got fired from Goodwill!

afraid_of_zombies,

Was it for stealing a grilled cheesemaker?

Mango,

Nah, it was for a technicality. I’m in a dramatically better company now. No more fake nonprofit nonsense.

TWeaK, in Black olive birthday

Delicious compliance.

MystikIncarnate,

My favorite kind

jaybone,

Feliz compliance

JCreazy, in Black olive birthday

Now it is inedible

MystikIncarnate,

Boo.

Let the lonely birthday person eat in peace.

general_kitten, (edited ) in Black olive birthday

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

BiggestBulb,
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

The US lol (I live here, can confirm)

Amends1782, (edited )

That’s like standard price in many parts of the us for a large/XL real pizza, not like pizza hut :(

westyvw,

Pizza hut huts $30 if you add 4 toppings. Pizza is stupid expensive anymore.

FunkyMonk,

Vegan Cheese expensive AF.

zeroblood,

Canada for one, a large pepperoni at my local pizza place is $28. Most of the loaded type pizzas are $35-$40 for a large.

jjjalljs,

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.

stevehobbes, (edited )

Not delivered these days… if you use an app anyway.

jimbo,

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.

Sotuanduso,

The same place where you can get that many olives on a pizza without paying extra, I guess.

Elektrotechnik,

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.

Rozz, in Black olive birthday

Our olives will blot out the sun!

airman,

Then we will eat in the shade 😌

RedditRefugee69, in Black olive birthday

Delicious compliance. Also happy birthday if this is you

Norgur,

Nah, it's a lonely birthday order. Those have immunity before the pizza criminal courts. As have "I was just cheated on" and "my pet died* orders. Ohy and "fuck this sounds disgusting but I'm pregnant so this ain't even the weirdest shit I've eaten in the last week " orders

MystikIncarnate,

I believe the exception is towards ordering to satisfy strong emotions. There are exceptions to the exception, but yeah. Pizza ordered to assist with the processing of significant feels is generally exempt from litigation.

hayalci,

Case dismissed!

pete_the_cat,

It’s an open and shut case, Johnson.

jimbo, (edited )

Hey, a crime is still a crime even if one is granted immunity from pizza prosecution.

cm0002, in Black olive birthday

Just give me all the bacon and eggs olives you have. Wait, wait. I’m worried what you just heard was, “Give me a lot of bacon and eggs olives.” What I said was, “Give me all the bacon and eggs olives you have”. Do you understand?

farcaster,

Got any fried chicken?

Best damn chicken in the state.

Bring me four fried chickens, and a Coke.

You want chicken wings or chicken legs?

Four fried chickens. And a Coke.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Jake never did get his four fried chickens and a coke.

AnarchoSnowPlow,

I’ll have dry white toast.

PixellatedDave,

And a coke

jaybone,

How much for the women and children? Sell them to me.

effward, in Black olive birthday
@effward@lemmy.world avatar

As an olive hater and tomato sauce purist:

that’s not even a pizza anymore.

halcyoncmdr,
@halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world avatar

Tomato sauce purist you say…

You realize tomatoes are not native to Europe at all? They are native to South America and weren’t introduced to Italy until the 1500s. Even if you consider pizza at all to be Italian, the pizzas we know are a far cry from true Italian pizza.

cryptiod137,

Was there even pre-tomato pizza though?

spacecowboy,

Yeah it just had spaghetti or a crème sauce on top instead.

Steve,

Excuse me what is spaghetti sauce without tomatoes?

Kase,

Not spaghetti sauce, spaghetti

Steve,

Just noodles on top of dough?

Kase,

Hey don’t ask me, ask spacecowboy

spacecowboy,

Yeah what you said!

jaybone,

Starch game be like

ParsnipWitch, (edited )

I guess every culture that came to the conclusion to make some kind of bread at some point in time eventually put stuff on that bread. Like leftovers. The question is, do we call that a pizza… Or is it a flat sandwich or something…

ElBarto,
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

This website should answer your question: cuberule.com

ParsnipWitch,

Thank you! I will use this knowledge to be even more of an annoyance and smart-ass to my surroundings. It’s perfect…

deus,

This is amazing. I feel enlightened and the cube is my new religion. I must spread the word and tell everyone that pizzas are toasts and hotdogs are tacos.

snaprails,
@snaprails@feddit.uk avatar

Do NOT open the “is this a sandwich” argument! 😱 😀

Drivebyhaiku,

Yup. Pizza as a word to mean a flatbread with toppings pre-date the arrival of tomatoes in Europe by a good 1400 years ish.

Just like how ketchup originally was just kind of a type of plant matter derived sauce with a runny consistency that utilized a fair amount of salt. Tomato ketchup was at one point a fairly new fangled novelty as for the longest time the favoured version of it was made of mushrooms.

The tomato more than most tends to just take over certain parts of food culture and drives out all other varieties. It’s kind of the cuckoo of the food world.

MajorMajormajormajor,

for the longest time the favoured version of it was made of mushrooms.

What in the fuck?

jaybone,

Yeah that sound terrible.

stevehobbes,

I’d try it.

snaprails,
@snaprails@feddit.uk avatar

Go on then www.realfoods.co.uk/ProductImagesID/9430_1.jpg

I might have to try it as well.

stevehobbes,

Ooh. Looks like it’s available on Amazon in the states. The reviews are good but seems like it’s almost more of a steak sauce than ketchup in texture/taste.

pete_the_cat,

I sometimes watch this 18th century cooking show on YouTube and saw that a while ago and was surprised since we consider tomatoes synonymous with ketchup. IIRC mushroom ketchup has more of a consistency to Worcestershire sauce than tomato ketchup.

EvilHankVenture,

Bread was invented in Egypt so by your standards “true Italian” pizza can’t have that either.

Honytawk,

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

~Carl Sagan

jaybone,

Pretty sure there were other places in Africa and the Middle East where bread making technology was being developed.

effward,
@effward@lemmy.world avatar

My favorite kinda pizza comes from Detroit. Runner up: Chicago. Italian style pizza isn’t even in contention :P

Honytawk,

And how many times have you actually left the US in your life?

effward,
@effward@lemmy.world avatar

Probably more than most Americans. Dozens of times? I haven’t kept count.

Why the personal jab tho? I’m just sharing my pizza opinions.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m pretty sure you can leave America and still like American-style pizza, what with it being sold in many, many other countries too.

MonkderZweite, (edited )

As an olive lover, it clearly said “White Pie”.

hayalci,

That’s fine, it says “pie” anyway…

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

i love black olives but they ruin a pizza. its all i end up tasting

effward,
@effward@lemmy.world avatar

That’s one of my main problems with them, too.

general_kitten,

well it’s called a white pie so i guess it never was

768, in Black olive birthday

The whole glass? Yes, the whole glass.

yenahmik, in Black olive birthday

As a fellow olive lover, this looks delicious!

LemmyKnowsBest,

❤️Olive You ❤️

frickineh,

Yeah it does. I ordered pineapple and olive this weekend and they gave me like, 6 olives on the whole thing, so I’m very jealous.

MystikIncarnate,

Oof. That sucks. I’m so sorry about your pineapple pizza.

… Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
