Fruit cakes are disgusting. But panettones are yummy. Hot cross buns are ok.

Why do people like pizza?

I hate it.

Who decided it was a good idea to put sauce, meat and vegetables on bread???

"Meat and vegetables on bread". That's what you are doing wrong.

Pizza is dough, sauce and mozzarella. Oregano and Basil are ok. Anything else is just being stupid.

Have you never eaten a sandwich before?

Just why, is peel a way to use up whats otherwise garbage ?

 

Peel isn’t garbage - to many people much of it is perfectly edible when cooked and citrus peel is fundamental in marmalade. I love marmalade.

A lot of fruit and veg have a significant proportion of their vitamins and goodness in, and just under, their skins - but many people peel them and chuck the peel away. The nutty flavours of many roast veg skins (eg. potato, kumara, pumpkin) are the tastiest part.

The cinnamon/allspice.  I like those spicy windmill biscuits from the Netherlands as well.

The crispy outside dripping butter. 

The soft chewy inside - even better if it's brioche.

The sweet moist plump raisins inside.

Anchovies.  Few pizzas are complete without them.  But the Margherita is one pizza I do believe should be respected as a classic.

I make Malaysian a inspired pizza with sambal, chilli, achar, ikan biliis and roasted peanuts on a roti base.  I even crack an egg on top of it.  How's that for sacrilege!

For me, using the classic Margaherita as an example a thin, slightly crisp base is essential.  Then it's the simple contrast between the tangy tomato sauce, the creamy mozzarella and the aromatics cutting through from the herbs.  Three simple bold flavours.

Yes, sorry. Anchovies should be allowed. Actually anchovies should be allowed anywhere.

Even worse, cheese on bread??? Yuck.

I think until you have tried Rocket Kitchens ones in Mt Eden in Auckland, then you haven't had the gold standard of bought ones (in my experience). I have had other good ones, but none as great as RK to date. 

I've also made pretty decent ones. 

Butter is the only suitable topping.

I like them as unlike toast can heat them in microwave quicker, though I have relatives that insist they be grilled 😞 

Wish they were available all year long, hopefully they keep bringing them out earlier each year. 😃
