Comfort foods (or drinks!)

[NicholeW.]

Anchovies have a remarkable shelf-life, Lacitychick!! Especially when they are dried. But, they seem not to have a remarkable occurrence anymore at pizza-parlors. My partner buys hers in a can and adds them to pizza. They smell a lot like sardines only much saltier. I suppose I'm not much for fish on pizza though. I'll have cheese and veggies.

I guess I could say my infamous "my god, are you sure you're not pregnant?" sandwich, which includes peanut butter, balogna, pickles, and potatoe chips.  But I think the list would have to include, corn meal mush, custard, coconut cream pie, and rubarba grut.

Oh sheesh! You know, out of morbid curiosity, I would TOTALLY try anchovies on my pizza!

Canned you say?

pizza with everything, (except anchovies - bleh!)

agreed..pizza..but CHEESE! or Hawaiian style!

and on a side note, do they even put anchovies on pizza?! people always say "hold the anchovies" "everything except anchovies" but i've never walked into Pizza Hut and seen them refilling the anchovies bin!?

hmmmmm...food for thought

Papa John's (which you may not like - nobody in my family eats it but me)

I like Papa John's and with coupons it's hard to beat their prices at the 'real' pizza parlors. But we do make our own a lot.

Having gone to, chaperoned and sponsored a few birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese, I can say that their pizzas remind me of cardboard slathered with a thin layer of mozzarella and some tomato sauce, bland. Definitely not one I'd place at the top of my 'gourmet pizza experiences.'

... rather than Pizza Hut...

...Papa John's (which you may not like - nobody in my family eats it but me)

Woa...wait. OK...really?

Papa John's over Pizza Hut!? How dare you!!! 

LoL

I think it's so funny how palates differ so greatly in preference. I mean, I like Papa John's..it beats... I dunno, school cafeteria, square-shaped pizzas. LoL

I LOOOOVVVVVEEEE Pizza Hut!!! The crust is so thick and buttery and dripping with happiness and oozing with tummy-smiles... MmMMMMmmMmmmMm...Pizza Hut... 

[Nero]

Pasta (must be al dente), pizza (most or all the cheese scraped off. hate all that gooey cheese), shrimp and screwdrivers.
And oranges. Love oranges. And mushrooms. Any kind. Especially fresh.

Hi Nero, yea when I want to eat Pizza I want more then just the crust with only a hint of the topping on it, where you need a magnifying glass and take your socks off to to find it. I want a fully loaded Pizza.

Um... Well, I'm totally a pizza snob because I've never been satisfied with any pizza I've eaten since I left Iowa.  The Green Pepper in Coralville, Iowa had better pizza than anything I've had anywhere except Mamma Talenye's in St. Louis.

Anchovies have a remarkable shelf-life

Damn skippy.  In my house they will last to the end of time, and perhaps beyond that.  Along with the fruitcake they sit next to.  No Hairy Fish!

*looks down*  But I love fruitcake.

Most of my comfort foods involve carbs    risotto, latkes (potato pancakes) I make both of these from scratch, NY bagels, almost anything involving cheese... and of course, can't forget chocolate and red wine.

Hi Tekla ya have to shave the anchovies before you eat them. "hee, hee, hee!!!"

Cindy

[NicholeW.]

Somehow I have the notion that even shaving them will not see tekla eating anchovies.

This explains it..
In Italian American cuisine, braciole (the word is commonly pronounced /bra'zhul/ from the Sicilian pronunciation) is the name given to thin slices of meat (typically pork, chicken, or beef, but even swordfish) that are rolled with cheese and bread crumbs and fried; the bread crumbs are often left off, and the braciole are cooked along with meatballs and Italian sausage in Sunday gravy. They can be served with tomato sauce, or even plain. There exist many variations on the recipe. Changing the type of cheese and adding assorted vegetables (such as eggplant) can drastically change the taste. Braciole are not eaten as a main dish, but as a side dish at dinner, or in a sandwich at lunch.
