Toppings on Pizza

[Banshee16]

Hmmm....oddest things...

I used to put raisins on pizza when I was young. I've since grown out of that habit.

Other odd things.....olives (with pits included) at a place I visited in Rome last year (oddly, in the middle of Rome, it was one of the worst pizzas I've had anywhere).

Pine nuts..

Smoked salmon (in Paris).

Sunny side up Eggs (also in Paris).

Incidentally, out of all the pizzas I've had, probably the best pizza I've ever had was in Quebec City, in a placed called "Portofino". Beautiful little location in the old city, with a wood fired oven. It's Italian/European style thin crust pizza, and really, really well done.

Many of the fine beers and ales are better at room temp!

I will disagree with you on that, and I promise...I have as much experience with fine beers and ales as just about any one. Now served at 55-60F, I might give you that. But not at room temperature (which is generally considered 70F).

room temp for me is 60,s o there is the diff!

Living in California I figure we see more exotic pizza toppings than most other states, but I'd not heard of raisins on pizza before. At Costco, when you buy there cheap hotdogs and other food at their kiosk I have seen many times people of Latin descent eating pizza and dipping it in catsup. Did not know it was Brazilian.

Does anyone salt their pizza?

I had a boss that would always salt her pizza slice before eating it. I found it odd, because I've never put excess table salt on mine or even thought about it. I don't remember seeing anyone else do that either.

I've seen people put salt on salad. And not just salt at the only condiment, but dressing plus salt.

Base pizza toppings in Serbia are:

• Tomato sauce (which cheap pizzerias and people with no taste sometimes replace with ketchup)
• Cheese (rarely mozzarella, since it's really expensive here)
• Mushrooms
• Olives (green or black, pitted or not)
• Ham

Other frequent toppings include bacon, tomato slices, sour cream, kajmak (dairy product specific to Serbia), pepperoni or salami, tuna, hot peppers, eggs (usually cooked sunny side up on top of the pizza). Vegetarian pizzas frequently include corn kernels, onions, peppers, rocket, and spinach. More expensive pizzas have prosciutto and mozzarella. I've also eaten a fantastic pizza with steak chunks and mustard-based sauce.

When I go to Pizza Hut, I usually order Super Supreme or Meat Lovers' Supreme.

No mozzarella? That's just cruel.

I have to say, Chocolate. True, it had carmelized apple sauce and frosting.. but still it destroyed my concept of what a pizza is.

When I was little we used to make pizzas using bread, pasta sauce, hotdogs, and american cheese. So not using mozzarella isn't neccisarily cruel... Not using any kind of cheese, however, is (and I knew someone who used to order them that way).
