Pizza

[Pickman's model]

That's happened recently (well within the last couple of years) to a lot of cheaper end supermarket pizzas too.

I think because sugar is relatively cheap and they use it to bulk out cheap sauces generally - price of other ingredients goes up, they've increased the proportion of sugar in the recipe - at least that's my theory.

a pinch of sugar in a tomato sauce is very nice but supermarkets seem to ladle it in without any thought

Absolutely! Thank you for being the voice of reason here.

Yep - takes the edge off an overly acidic sauce - but this one was like eating a dessert

Interesting theory. I thought various companies were being incentivised to reduce sugar content, but I’ve had a few oddly sweet pizzas so can relate.

I always add chilli flakes liberally on pizza. Contrary to what the haters think, I've not had pineapple on pizza for donkeys years - sweetcorn is my mainstay these days.

The British are confused by sweetcorn. They add it to tuna. They put it on pizza. I'll defend it on libertarian grounds, but it is all terribly sad.

Don't be daft - it's great stuff. Got another 1kg of frozen being delivered next week - can't run out of essential things like that.

I used to like putting it on top of a pitta bread with cheese and maybe onions and popping it under the grill or in the oven until the cheese melts. But I’m more or less vegan atm and there’s no cheese substitute that is worth the bother.

Love it. Not on pizza!

I was given a recipe for marmite cake years ago. Delicious, but probably only if you like Marmite

The mrs bought me a gas-fired pizza oven for my birthday. Still getting the hang of it, but it is much better results than the electric oven. Chicken and peppers on this one.

I swear I saw a chocolate pizza in Icelands once.

Quite possible. I once saw chicken tikka lasagne in Kwik Save.

Not sure what that is but it’s not a pizza - not in my book anyway.

Anyone who likes Dominos doesn't like pizza.
(not that Papa John's or the Hut are much good, but I'd eat them in a pinch)

Chuck some pineapple on top and perfection. I'll report back taste wise tomorrow.

I have little faith in humanity, but I can't believe anyone does. I assume those who buy it do so for reasons that do not involve taste.
