But WHY DO PEOPLE PUT SUGAR ON PIZZA?

WhatEVER next?

Salted caramel, jane10! Now you're talking! Yes please smile

Apricots go well with lamb. I do a Lebanese dish that has those and it's delish.

MiniMouse Sat 01-Nov-14 12:54:53

. . . And then there's salted liquorice - YUM grin

I think you'll find that's Norfolk California, not Norfolk UK!

SiL only likes Hawaiian pizzas. As I make my own, I bought a fresh pineapple just for him. He refused to touch it because it wasn't tinned and fresh ones 'aren't sweet enough'.

As children we used to put sugar on tomatoes, so I suppose it's just one step away from sugar on a pizza, although I don't fancy it.
I make my own dough, and make pizzas, that way I know exactly what goes on or in them.
Tomato jam is lovely. I bought some the last time we were on holiday in Spain.
Oh please, don't go on about food. It's my diet day and all I've had so far is one meager bowl of homemade soup.

I'm still ravenous and thought GN might take my mind off it. thlsad

This is the Tweeter's profile, *jr*. Looks pretty British to me. Do they have Tesco in California?

I have my home made chilli jam with pizza.

Greenfinch Sat 01-Nov-14 16:14:32

How do you make chilli jam ffinnochio. Sound lovely !

petallus Sat 01-Nov-14 16:23:32

*jinglbellsfrocks, they are excellent. I am now on book 9, the last one in the series. I know I shall get withdrawal symptoms.

I went to Reykjavik a few years ago. The books give a very good idea of Icelandic culture (they eat a lot of fish).

I thought the food industry was supposed to be cutting back on sugar, not adding it.

I do know that in some countries, dessert pizzas are very common. I suppose all it is, is an open pie. Some countries think we are weird for having redcurrant jelly on our meat, and apple sauce.

ffinnochio Sat 01-Nov-14 16:46:56

Greenfinch. I'll put the recipe up tomorrow. Another GN-er kindly passed it onto me.

Greenfinch Sat 01-Nov-14 17:48:09

Thanks smile

ffinnochio Sun 02-Nov-14 09:41:16

Green - It's in the recipe section. Very easy to make. Enjoy. smile

Greenfinch Sun 02-Nov-14 12:47:31

I am having difficulty finding the recipe section. confused

ffinnochio Sun 02-Nov-14 13:44:52

Go to 'Life & Style' in Green band above.
Click on Food which is Blue band
Scroll down until you find Recipe Library section (bottom right)
Click
There are two columns - the one on the right (pale green band) has the latest recipe additions.

Voila!

Greenfinch Sun 02-Nov-14 17:26:23

Success ! Thanks ffin. It sounds delicious and I look forward to making it when I have gathered together all the ingredients.

Our absolute favourite chocolate these days is Lindt 70% with sea salt- the mix is amazingly delicious.

In Italy they often use left-over pizza dough for desserts, with sugar or sugar and cream + or - cinnamon- nad even these days Nutella- not for me- but it's like pastry, it can have a savoury or sweet topping. Each to their own.

ffinochio The recipe is the original publisher's copyright and I could be in trouble for publishing it, which is more or less what putting it on a forum is. Sorry to be a pain but I should be grateful if you would ask GNHQ to delete it. There is no problem, however, with just passing it along to a friend in private.

ffinnochio Sun 02-Nov-14 23:08:22

absent Done. blush

TriciaF Mon 03-Nov-14 14:19:14

I make the dough too, and always put some sugar in bread mix, so I suppose that's "bad".
But I would never put sugar on top of cheese.
OTH - grilled cheese on top of sweet spice buns, then Marmite - yum!

Katek Mon 03-Nov-14 22:14:32

Teetime, I'm shocked!! Sugar on porridge! There's only one way to take porridge and that's with salt!
