Shades of Death Road, New Jersey Superthread

[Axver]

You ask for suggestions and then shoot down olives?

I tend to keep my pizzas fairly simplistic actually. I avoid more than four or so ingredients, since I find I don't enjoy pizza too much when it's got a lot crowded onto it. I normally just work with sauces, cheeses, salami, and sometimes onion, pineapple, and/or your dreaded olives. Oh yeah, and capsicum can be welcome from time to time too.

 

[Galeongirl]

pineapple could be nice too, but I"m not sure if that works with salami...

what's capsicum?

 

[Axver]

I've used pineapple with salami before and enjoyed it! Used to it regularly, actually. Perhaps my tastes are a bit unusual, though.

Capsicum's known as peppers back in New Zealand. Looking on Wikipedia, it indicates that might be what you meant by paprika (which to me refers to a spice made from capsicum). These things, anyway.

 

[Zoots]

New Jersey! Hell yeah muthafuckas!!!

 

[Galeongirl]

yes that's what I meant with paprika! I thought it was a universal word

 

[Reggo]

Morning!

 

[Axver]

Hey Reggo and Zoots.

yes that's what I meant with paprika! I thought it was a universal word

Hah, I thought of the spice - which I'd forgotten was actually from capsicum until I looked up capsicum on Wikipedia to get that picture!

 

[Reggo]

Now, see, we just call those peppers, and capsicum is the chemical that makes them taste spicy.

 

[Axver]

I grew up calling it pepper in New Zealand, but that got confusing, what with black pepper also being pepper, so I quite happily switched to calling it capsicum when I came to Australia.

 

[Reggo]

I thought everybody just called them red bell peppers. You learn something every day, I guess.

 

[Galeongirl]

we always call that paprika and black pepper just pepper...
americans get confused in italy order a pizza pepperoni, they expect a pizza full of salami... they get a pizza full of peppers

 

[Reggo]

I bet they would!

Ha, that's awesome.

 

[Galeongirl]

I was there when it happened it was awesome, the waiter did NOT understand why they were unsatisfied!

same thing in spain, they had a translated menu, and it said Rape in butter sauce.... the spanish name for monkfish = rapé

 

[Reggo]

Be careful what you order overseas, I guess, would be the theme here. Make sure you mean what you mean.

Who needs "Engrish" from Asia when Europe turns up a gem like that!

 

[Galeongirl]

true, it's always hillarious seeing english folks on holidays in france/spain... they fail at the languages!

well, gotta be honest, plenty of dutch idiots around too!

I have to leave you now, going to the barbie!

 

[Reggo]

Axver has mail.

Bye, GG!

 

[Axver]

Have a good one, GG2!

 

[Reggo]

I love this instrumental version of TUF. I should send it to you, Axver.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, I'd love to hear it. I imagine it'd be one of the U2 songs that'd work best instrumentally.

 

[phanan]

There's an instrumental version of TUF?

 

[Reggo]

Do you both want it? It's strings, violins and stuff, but it's awesome!

 

[Serena Vox]

Hey bitches.

 

[Axver]

G'day, Serena.

There's an instrumental version of TUF?

Not by U2.

 

[Serena Vox]

G'day, Serena.

Hello Axver.
How are you?

 

[Reggo]

Hey sis!
Guess who might've actually gotten 8 hours' sleep if I hadn't forced myself awake during a dream?

 

[Serena Vox]

Hey sis!
Guess who might've actually gotten 8 hours' sleep if I hadn't forced myself awake during a dream?

You? Sorry to hear that.
I got a full 8 hours but it was hell to drag myself out of bed.

 

[Axver]

Hello Axver.
How are you?

Not bad, still full from minestrone earlier. Yourself?

 

[Reggo]

Yeah. It sucked, but I'm grateful the dream didn't go anywhere I didn't want it to. Was about a certain DirntClone
