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.
This certainly sounds more like a pizza than LTW's cauliflower monstrosity.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.
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.

Tomatoes, garlic, basil, a little olive oil. That's all it takes.meh, a proper tomato sauce needs to be home made from Italian tomatoes. You've let me down.
I approve of this
Vegetarian vealI love baby carrots
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.If you've not done it, I hope you have pizza in Italy ...

I seriously question your palate. Im also starting to get an idea why you dont like old world wine much.
Skully spends more on tomatoes than he does on footwear.
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.

The Pizza in Naples is amazing (and the only good thing in Naples)
Some fit birds, and cheap Maradona T-shirts
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.

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.
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.

I was too scared to look for either while i was there
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.
