Why are English supporters the most pitiful in world football?

00 flour dough, simple san marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella (dried out with paper towels), fresh basil. Extremely hot oven. Maybe some fennel salami, artichoke etc. Maybe a calzone if ive had too many recently.

meh, a proper tomato sauce needs to be home made from Italian tomatoes. You've let me down.

This certainly sounds more like a pizza than LTW's cauliflower monstrosity.
 
I'll eat US style pizza, & it's not bad when made properly, (although it's very bloating) but I make proper Italian style pizza, using the four ingredient dough rule as per Italian pizza standards. Proper mozzarella & I make my own pizza sauce using a traditional Italian recipe. This time of year I put the pizza stone on the bbq to get it hot enough & it's amazing. The rest of the year I have to just heat the stone up in the oven for two hours first, but the crust isn't as nice as it is when it's done over the bbq.

I have rough plans to make a woodfire pizza oven in to the back but that'll be in a few years, I want to get an Italian pizza oven in the meantime, can get them for about £100 imported through Amazon.

If you've not done it, I hope you have pizza in Italy ...
Never thought of doing it using pizza stone on BBQ ... but if I'm lighting up the BBQ 😉

Don't use that cauliflower shit. Make a proper pizza using 00 flour yeast salt & water. Cook on a very hot stone over the bbq.
 
I seriously question your palate. Im also starting to get an idea why you dont like old world wine much.

Oh now.... I do like like old world wine - just not overrated shite from Burgundy or especially Bordeaux.

I love Rhone reds, burgundy whites, particular reds from Italy (not Tuscany) but some of the more approachable Piedmont reds & I'm partial to som Montepulciano & Nero D'Avalo.

Spain I have a real soft spot for.

Ive got a lot of brunello sitting there for this summer. About to go to sicily too so will be drinkng a lot of nero d'avola - though I do at home anyway. I drink a lot of planeta at home.
 
Tomatoes, garlic, basil, a little olive oil. That's all it takes.

I sometimes like to add oregano or some spicy pepper too ... depends on exactly what kind of pizza you're looking for (arrabiata etc).
Favorite Pizza in Milano was always quattro stagione senza prosciutto e con carciofi (olives, peppers, artichoke & mushrooms) ... heaven.
 
Pizza in Rome was amazing, I dunno if it was the cheese or the tomatoes or likely a combination of them all but it was lovely. Much better than what passes for pizza in some of the places here
 
Actually, pretty much all the food we had in Rome was amazing. The fruit also for some reason tasted amazing. I loved the little fruit carts dotted around the place, you could just walk past and pick up a slice of watermelon and eat while leaning on a pillar that had been there for 2 thousand years.

Australia is starting to produce some good new work interpretations of Italian Varietals - Nero, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Monte, Aglianico etc.

Really fruit driven, obviously, very drinkable if lacking in complexity - but getting better.

I had a gig as a wine judge in a show recently - very interesting.

Drinking Nero in Scilly should've pretty good.

Negromaro is another one I've found particularly tasty.

I do tend to prefer reds that can ripen properly & whites from cooler climates that balance ripening with acidity.

My taste for aussy wine has rapidly dwindled over the last few years. Ive got a couple of two hands lily's garden there. Been there for years and I honestly cant imagine when I'll ever drink them.
 
Not to sound like a wine wanker....








..., which I clearly am.

Ive been before. It's one of the best wine regions on the planet imo. I fucking love sicily. There's loads more rare varietals popping up all the time as well.

If this post ever gets out, you'll never be allowed back into Larne ever again. You'll have to meet your relatives on neutral territory, somewhere far away. Like Sydney.
 
I was too scared to look for either while i was there

Ahhh you were already handcuffed ...

Hotter climates produce better fruits? 😉
