Re: Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?
And indeed, I never wrote anywhere that pizza napoletana is THE pizza, the best pizza, the original pizza.
Quite the contrary, I stated that
Then, moving on,
Neither I said that champagne is better than any other wine. We were discussing of what one expects when mentioning a certain kind of culinary product.Last edited by Cicciograna; 2018-10-11 at 11:59 AM.

Re: Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?
Fan of Chicago style I take it? That's not a pizza, that's a casserole. It's so deep I feel like I should toss a coin in and make a wish.
That's blasphemy and you know it. ;)
Even thick crust can be folded. I've had no issues. It's all in the mad NY skills.

Re: Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?
Totally agree! We should do more!
It still doesn't say that Pizza Margherita is the only true or official pizza. It simply demarcates it from other pizza.
Is it? It was mostly just being cheeky.
I mean, I can still sell it. As whatever I want. Disappointed customers just means I can't do it for long.
The "codified guidelines" of cooking would be...chemistry. Beyond that, there really isn't.
Sure but again, that only works if you buy into it.
As long as I do it in California I am free to do so.
I think I've made my point clear that we shouldn't because official or not doesn't enter the equation.
I mean. This is just an internet forum. The other chefs and foodies I hang out with aren't so pretentious as to tell people that it's not real pizza if it's got pineapple on it.

Re: Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?
*Roaring laughter*
Ok, in this case, it´s actually the other way around. "Carbonara" is actually a pretty new invention and hails back to the 60s, when german tourism in Italy started in earnest and the hotels and restaurants there frantically worked out some recipes that would be tasty to the german palate. So they used four ingredients that are known to be wide-spread in german cuisine, cream, smoked bacon, onions and garlic, mixed that with a raw egg for consistence and called it a day.
The more refined forms that we see nowadays, raw egg yolk, freshly pressed citrus, ground pepper and such, is not the original but the attempt to transfer "tourist trash" back into mainstream italian cuisine.
I'm working in the alcoholic beverages business, so I know a little bit about the whole background, laws and such. A "little bit" prolly means more than 98% of the worlds population, when it comes to that.
A thing like "Champagne" is not only tied to the region, but also tied to regional base products and ingredients. The grapes themselves must come from the champagne region and a good part of the are red, treated in such a way to produce white wine, which is part of the whole deal. The parameters what makes a "Champagne" are far stricter that just "fizzy wine from the Champagne region".
Me, I deal heavily in "Berlin White" style of beer, which includes heavy regional as well as procedural parameters. I'm always a bit of p****d-off when some US craft brewer throws a sour beer on the market and calls it "Berlin White". Hell, even Stone Brewing (Berlin) had the courtesy to consult with the VLB and brewers association before calling their "White Ghost" a "Berlin White".
@Pizza:
I´m an old-school European. Pizza should come from a wood fired, brick build oven, be a simple affair with a thin crust, good red or white base and few but tasty topics. Do I go to Pizza Hut and grab a slice on the go? Yes, but it´s not what I order when I actually want a pizza.

(Craft beer and wood-fired pizza is a great combination and we focus on that at our place. We actually use one of those: http://www.stefanoferraraforni.it/en/)
Edit: My favorite kinds are actually one very old-school and one very new-school ones:
- Margherita with Mozzarella and fresh basil.
- Basic red sauce pizza, topped with Arugula, Prosciutto di Parma and ground Parmigiano after baking.Last edited by Florian; 2018-11-22 at 09:51 AM.

Re: Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?
Red wine and white wine are made from the same grapes. Red grapes and white grapes are both white inside and have clear juice. The difference depends on when the liquid is separated from the fruit pulp. If you crush the grapes, ferment the mash, then pour off the liquid, it's red. If you crush the grapes, pour off the liquid, then ferment only the juice without skins and pulp, it's white. If you distill the wine, it's brandy. If you ferment the leftover skins and pulp after making white wine and distill that, it's grappa.

Re: Thoughts on pineapple on pizza?
I mean, kind of. Red grapes can be white at the very center, but depending on the growing conditions and variety is more likely to be red-pink most of the way through. For example when growing an intense shiraz varietal they are generally mostly water starved to intensify tannins, resulting in very small completely black/red grapes.
Blanc de Noir wines are white wines made from red grapes, most commonly Pinot Noir varietal. This includes some traditional champagnes that use the red pinot grape. Generally, when red grapes are pressed and fermented sans skins the end product is a rosé. Basically, with a few specific exceptions, mostly pinot noir or champage, for the vast majority of wines a grape of the corresponding colour is used. Red grapes make red wine or rosés, and white grapes make white wine.
