I cannot tell you how many pounds of food I bring home from every European vacation!!!!
I LOVE shopping in grocery stores.....brought a tremendous haul home from Italy last week..
Sometimes I just pack it all up and ship it home.
Is hot dog pizza in a bun? :-)
it is not....
to see it done properly try this https://www.facebook.com/FoodNetworkUK/videos/adam-richman-tries-a-pizza-dog-adam-richman-eats-football/1094019198603852/
I'm hoping that because it's inside Facebook it will not suffer from copyright/country problems. If it doesnt play google Adam Richman Nottingham Forest and look for a version with US rights.
Love the pizza dog!
I think I saw frozen pizzas in London once with peaches on them.
In Germany, they have BBQ pork on them and call them American pizzas.
Have always thought having a spinach pizza often with feta, or tuna fish pizza was normal until someone told me that was just in Germany. True or not?
Peaches? More likely pineapple, they are everywhere.
I know what pineapple on pizzas look like and it isn't odd. Peaches were very odd, which is why I remember it.
Pizza with feta cheese is fairly common in the US, it’s called Greek pizza. Typically not with spinach although that is possible, more often it’s topped with black olives, onion and plenty of herbs as well as the feta. Another thing we’re increasingly seeing is Indian pizza, such as chicken tikka pizza. The cheese on those is either paneer Indian cheese, or regular mozzarella, or both.
Peaches were very odd, which is why I remember it.
Not from a store, but homemade. My wife makes a pizza with blue cheese and pears. She recreated it after we had it at a hotel in Todos Santos, Mexico.
I’ve just made a discovery, and this is not a frozen option, but freshly made in a restaurant, and it’s Hot Dog pizza taken up (or perhaps down) a notch:
We’ve eaten at Pizza Pilgrims in London, who make very good Neapolitan-style pizza with classic toppings. They started with one location in Soho, but have since opened many more, including Cardiff, Wales. The Website lists several curated varieties of pizza they now offer, and the very first is “The Americana,” which they claim is “A Napoli classic and our pizza chefs' favourite: mozzarella base topped with hot dog sausages & french fries.” Uhhhhhhh …
Where, and how, is this a Napoli classic?!?!?
How are hot dogs sausages? There are some similarities, but just as most folks say that a hot dog is not a sandwich, I’ll say it’s not a sausage either, so saying sausage here is neither rhetorical nor correct.
We’re talking the U.K. here, and they use the term “french fries,” and not “chips.” What gives?
And putting hot dog sections on a pizza is one (questionable) thing, but dumping french fries on top, too? What’s the sauce - ketchup?!?
And what’s with the mozzarella as the cheese? If you’ve already put on hot dog pieces and french fries and labeled it Americana, you might as well be using Kraft Singles, and not mozzarella. C’mon, keep it authentic!
Their crust is sublime, and many of their other ingredients are, too. But to make a hot dog/french fry pizza in the first place, and then naming it “Americana” is offensive in multiple ways. Get any of their other pizzas and enjoy, but this one’s gone much too far.
I love Pizza Pilgrims! I can answer some of your questions:
1- They mean the "base" pizza is a Napoli classic, to which they add the (strange) toppings.
2- Hot dogs could be considered sausages here at least, they are similar to saveloys which are definitely considered sausages.
3- Here, "french fries" normally refers to the skinnier version of this potato-based snack- you do see those on menus a lot. The bigger, thicker ones are always referred to as chips.
4- Fries on a pizza are actually pretty common here- definitely not my thing but you will see it other places as well.
5- I do agree this is a strange pizza. I think "American" cheese would make it even worse tho!
Also, I've never seen peaches on a pizza, either frozen or not... but I will keep an eye out.
