As an olive hater and tomato sauce purist:

that's not even a pizza anymore.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 34 points 7 months ago

well it's called a white pie so i guess it never was

[-] hayalci@fstab.sh 8 points 7 months ago

That's fine, it says "pie" anyway...

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

As an olive lover, it clearly said "White Pie".

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Tomato sauce purist you say...

You realize tomatoes are not native to Europe at all? They are native to South America and weren't introduced to Italy until the 1500s. Even if you consider pizza at all to be Italian, the pizzas we know are a far cry from true Italian pizza.

[-] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

Was there even pre-tomato pizza though?

[-] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Yup. Pizza as a word to mean a flatbread with toppings pre-date the arrival of tomatoes in Europe by a good 1400 years ish.

Just like how ketchup originally was just kind of a type of plant matter derived sauce with a runny consistency that utilized a fair amount of salt. Tomato ketchup was at one point a fairly new fangled novelty as for the longest time the favoured version of it was made of mushrooms.

The tomato more than most tends to just take over certain parts of food culture and drives out all other varieties. It's kind of the cuckoo of the food world.

What in the fuck?

Ooh. Looks like it’s available on Amazon in the states. The reviews are good but seems like it’s almost more of a steak sauce than ketchup in texture/taste.

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I sometimes watch this 18th century cooking show on YouTube and saw that a while ago and was surprised since we consider tomatoes synonymous with ketchup. IIRC mushroom ketchup has more of a consistency to Worcestershire sauce than tomato ketchup.

I guess every culture that came to the conclusion to make some kind of bread at some point in time eventually put stuff on that bread. Like leftovers. The question is, do we call that a pizza... Or is it a flat sandwich or something...

[-] deus@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

This is amazing. I feel enlightened and the cube is my new religion. I must spread the word and tell everyone that pizzas are toasts and hotdogs are tacos.

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 6 points 7 months ago

Thank you! I will use this knowledge to be even more of an annoyance and smart-ass to my surroundings. It's perfect...

[-] snaprails@feddit.uk 6 points 7 months ago

Do NOT open the "is this a sandwich" argument! 😱 😀

[-] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works -3 points 7 months ago

Yeah it just had spaghetti or a crème sauce on top instead.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 7 months ago

Excuse me what is spaghetti sauce without tomatoes?

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Not spaghetti sauce, spaghetti

[-] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 7 months ago

Just noodles on top of dough?

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Hey don't ask me, ask spacecowboy

[-] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah what you said!

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Starch game be like

[-] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Bread was invented in Egypt so by your standards "true Italian" pizza can't have that either.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Pretty sure there were other places in Africa and the Middle East where bread making technology was being developed.

[-] effward@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

My favorite kinda pizza comes from Detroit. Runner up: Chicago. Italian style pizza isn't even in contention :P

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

i love black olives but they ruin a pizza. its all i end up tasting

[-] effward@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That's one of my main problems with them, too.
