The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I agree. On a cheeseburger pizza it makes absolute sense. I am talking about using cheddar as part of the standard cheese mix (they do it because it is cheaper but it also creates a thick melted layer: personally I think it is funky).

I was thinking that for at least some people Cheddar is what "cheese" tastes like.

The first pizza I craved after covid was a bacon and banana pizza. I do not know why, I just wanted it.

There are whole styles built around using cheddar as well (it isn't only because it is cheaper). And if it is like a small part of the blend, I don't mind (Papa Ginos I think might use cheddar in its three cheese for example). But a lot of the places I delivered for were all or half cheddar. And they piled it on very thick. It just didn't taste right to me. I will say I was being somewhat facetious in response to outrage over pineapple as a topping. I'm actually all for pizza experimentation. But if we are going to point fingers, maybe direct it at the cheddar rather than the pineapple

Some of the stranger toppings I saw were things like Cod and Scallops. I like anchovy pizza sometimes. But cod, unless it is super fresh (which it usually wasn't at a pizza place) made the pizza smell like ammonia. And scallops, as much as I like them on their own, just don't feel right with cheese to me.

Oh man, Scallops are fantastic but suck if you overcook them. I can imagine some bad scallop pizzas.

I am very curious about this. Does it also have cheese or is does it use something else to go with the banana flavor? Actually I wonder how a peanut sauce pizza with bacon and banana would taste

On a pizza I've seen them over cooked, which is bad, but undercooked is even worse (too slimy). It was a topping that just didn't compute for me. I'd do lobster before scallops on a pizza

A chain in Canada used to have both slivered almonds and sunflower seeds as possible toppings. The almonds were quite good, when combined with something like ground beef.

My favorite pizza is actually pesto pizza so I can see almonds and sunflower seeds working (they aren't that different from pine nuts).

Is it baffling to anyone else that when an expert in a field tells people they're wrong, they still feel the need to argue? Because it's baffling to me. Not in cases where there are multiple experts who disagree, rather an expert and laypeople. The chance of the expert being right is far, far higher than the chance of the layperson being right. Let it go, you're just wrong.

You're right - I say we do not appreciate nameless experts enough.
Just the other day I read how experts declared that changing your bed sheets too vigorously increased your chances of cardiac arrest.
What would we do with out them to give us such profound and life-saving advice?

That actually sounds good to me.
Surely I'm not alone in this.
