Considering tomatoes aren't even from Europe the Italians can think whatever they want about pizza, they're not experts, they're just as wrong as everyone else.

And that's why, as a Midwesterner, I proudly put black olives on my tacos. And it's tastes pretty damn great!

Midwestern Mexican food is a whole nother beast.

Pickles are pickles, but personally, I like pickled watermelon

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Preparing that yourself or are there places where you can buy pickled watermelon?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All over the place. If your local store has a large pickle section, you’ll probably find it.

I'm learning so many new things today 🫠

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Diced pickles in your tacos. Thank me later

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Taco Bell used to put olives on some of their items way back in the day. I wonder if that’s where all this started.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Power to you, don't let the food snobs stop you!

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

This by far the worse crime here.

As long as you aren't putting cheese or sour cream or using those hard shell things I guess it could pass

[–] BestTestInTheWest@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

They are definitely putting cheese and sour cream in hard shell tacos.

A plain slice in NY, maybe with some red pepper flakes and parmigiana. Fuckin bliss.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

NY style pizza also isn't anything particularly amazing. New Yorkers are just louder about it, like with everything they do.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Yeah I’ll die on the Dayton style pizza hill. But seriously most people who come from somewhere with its own style of pizza love that style. For a non hometown favorite Chicago bar style (not deep dish) is excellent.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

....Red pepper flakes?

I'm literally shaking right now

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

...Shaking more red pepper flakes onto your dollar slice?

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Can't pass up free condiments amirite?

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you a purist that says ketchup doesn't belong on hot dogs too?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hot dogs should only have mustard and diced onions on them.

Maybe sauerkraut if it’s a special occasion.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Diced onions are for amateurs. Pyramided onions are where it's at.

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

For those peasants who've never heard of olio peperoncino

And ~~pasta~~ noodles are from china

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Asian noodles and italian pasta evolved independently. It's a myth that Marco Polo brought the recipe home.

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

It's not about being right, it's about making something that tastes good. Besides that, there are also well established cultural traditions. But as long as people call their ~~garbage~~ pizzas "NY pizza", or whatever and it's well distinguished by "Italian pizza" (or Neapolitan, etc.), I don't see the problem.
