That's ... interesting.

Speaking of odd combos, a local pizza delivery shop back home did a Chicken Tikka Masala pizza (the sauce was replaced with masala sauce). It was one of the best pizza's I'd ever had, seriously.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole sober. But apparently they only make it in the evenings, when they know people will be drunk and eat it.. so I think that tells you a lot about that pizza itself

It works quite well as Masala is a tomato based sauce.

Maste

Very good! I thought it'd be odd with cheese and the sweetness of the masala sauce, but it was amazing, and the chicken was coated in the marinade of masala and grilled. Expensive pizza, but one of the few takeaway foods I miss from home!

That sounds genuinely good though.

I remember ages ago my mum bought one of those frozen pizzas that was a barbecue chicken one, with barbecue sauce as the base instead of tomato. I only had it once but bloody hell was it good. This was also about 20 years ago, so you probably can't even get it anymore.

Getting drunk and eating things with a high cheese content is the Wisconsin way. I love our cheesehead neighbours to the north.

I suppose I have to, I married one.

More minor things I don't get, work edition:

- My company refuses to provide free coffee. This is likely one of the cheapest ways to improve both productivity and morale. This is a very rich company, it makes no sense.

- Repeating weekly meetings. There's almost never a good reason for standing meetings. If you don't have a clear objective and agenda for a meeting, for God's sake cancel it.

- Email. Email is almost always a worthless waste of time. I spend at least two hours a day sorting through garbage people send me for the five emails I actually need to read and react to. It's important you read those five because people often use email as way to cover their ass ("I sent you an email on that, therefore you're fully informed and the responsibility is off my plate for making a decision"). How about calling me instead?

- Open plan seating is not a viable solution for an overcrowded office.

- Unless you're heads down the entire day, we all know "work from home" is BS. Almost no one in my company is heads down all day. Get into the office and do your job.

Still can get BBQ sauce style frozen pizza in UK.

Wait, what? That's un-American. There must be some organization you can report them to.

Me to be honest. Don't like take out ones, frozen ones are no better than the cardboard they sit on. I make fab ones apparently but I'm still not a fan.

Oh chicken tikka masala pizzas are amazingly good. My girlfriend, a chicago native, so knows good pizza, had it with me when she visited and even she admitted it to being one of the best pizza flavours she's had

BBQ chicken pizza is still a thing. Even here in the US! We sometimes order Pizza Hut (shoot me), because we can get a large 2 topping for $7, and one of the options is BBQ chicken.. Check it out?

I love the cheesehead neighbours too! Mostly because I have too as well, that's where my girlfriends family originate from, so they're, along with my girlfriend, cheeseheads too.

My daughter likes the frozen california pizza kitchen BBQ chicken pizza. I find it disgustingly sweet.

Trader Joes has these lovely french style ones. Brie and tomato is nice, favourite one is the Alsace one with onions. It has a pastry base rather than dough and is paper thin so it comes out lovely and crispy.

If a Chicago native gives it the thumbs up, it's good pizza

I'll check out the BBQ chicken next time I'm ordering from Pizza Hut.

Are you saying that you definitely don't get the same oils as the US? We get semi and fully synthetic oils too, "labeled as such", but the legal definition of what can be sold as "fully synthetic" is flawed.

Shard

Not bloody engine oil again !!!
