I *love* marmite on hot, buttered toast. YUMMY!

also Haiwaian Pizzas-YUMMY! only not right now cos I've had my brace tightened so my mouth is getting used to it!

Marmite is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL !! Love it, have to have it in the house at all times. Put it on bread, crackers or best of all, hot toast! Wonderful thing, none of the family like it, so it's mine all mine!

And over the years, I've started taking it thicker... yum.

Marmite? EEEWWWWWW! (That's a "No thankyou, I don't like it" just in case you weren't sure.)

Pineapple on pizza? YES!

Gotta agree with RW - Marmite yeeeeuuucchhhhhhhhh! (although, like Red, I do like Twiglets. No idea why.)

But I do like a bit of pineapple on my pizza.

YUK YUK YUK!!

Idon't mind it...I used to eat loads of it when I was a ki, but I've kinda gone off it !

I can't really answer the question cos I haven't eaten it for so long !

LOL!!

Marmite - Disgusting! With a capital DIS!

Pineapple on Pizzas - Definitely a good thing. Pineapple also goes well on top of Gammon.

Just call me the culinary expert!

Marmite's gorgeous, but how anyone can stand bovril is beyond me.

I thought barbecue ribs were Chinese Maybe that's a different sort.

Aw man, I think you're right! Now I'll have to come up with a new justification for America's existence. Other than Buffy, that is.

No really, I think maybe it can be argued that we invented it separately from the Chinese. I say that because poor southern Americans used barbecue sauce and smoking as a technique to soften up tough meat from salvage parts of pork and beef. This probably wasn't a population that read much Marco Polo or traveled to places where Chinese food would have been served.

And now that I think about it, pineapple gives me tongue bumps, so I try to avoid it on pizza too, barbecue sauce or not. The trouble with being a glutton though is that I often don't remember such key facts until I've already eaten it the thing in question.

Nicola however likes the vile brown stuff...

ROFLMAO!

White Hart, as far as I remember, I thought pizza was invented in the US, in much the same way that Chicken Kiev was invented in the UK. And while I'll admit that the best pizza I've ever had was in Italy, I'm pretty sure it had pineapple on.

And to come to the rescue of Diandra on the contribution to world cuisine of the US, apart from Pizza, let's not forget Southern Fried Chicken, TexMex, Cajun, and a truly thick 'Shake (preferably vanilla). In fact, one of my favourite memories of the US was going to a diner in Durham, real fifties Pulp Fiction/Back to the Future type place, and ordering a blue cheese burger with a side of fried onions and an extra thick vanilla 'shake.

Hmmmmmmmmmm!

Marmite on toast - YUM!

Pineapple on pizza (or on almost anything except with cheese on cocktail sticks) - YUCK!

And to go off on the pizza tangent a little further...

Peanut Butter and Jelly Pizza anyone?

From a news story posted on another board, in 5 states in the US a company sells this:

---

Granneman introduced the PB&J pizza to please customers looking for dessert on the East of Chicago menu. There's a special technique involved in making the pizza come out piping hot with bubbling, luscious jelly. The peanut butter has to be microwaved until pourable, and the jelly must be spread from edge to edge to keep the peanut butter from burning.

---

*wg shudders at the very idea*

OK, I do like a bit of PB&J in my sarnies from time-to-time, but this does sound gross.

Mind you, much like deep-fried mars bars (or, as I have heard, deep-fried pizza...), if I was ever given the opportunity I'm sure I'd order one...

hmmmmmmmm marmite, love it love it love it, goes best on toast with dairylea cheese spread hmmmmmmm just going to get me some now hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The thought of marmite makes me go blergh

Spit!

If anyone apart from me is a tragic enough individual to want to read a History of Pizza then I suggest you try http://www.averanapoli.it/ingstoria.htm. I agree that most commercially marketed pizzas are American and that American pizza is very different from Italian pizza. In fact, there's about as much similarity as there is between our national dish, Chicken Tikka Masala (brummie through and through) and authentic Indian food

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this, but I prefer Italian pizza. This is a perpetual argument between me and one of my friends, centreing on Pizza Hut v Pizza Express

And Watcher Girl: I'll see your shudder and raise you a yeuuchh I just don't get peanut butter and jam (but I love peanut butter and coleslaw!)

I don't think you're tragic White Hart! I learned that fun fact about barbecue sauce starting as a meat tenderizer from a History Channel program about American food. And yes, I did watch the whole thing, and even more sadly, I think I may have watched it on a weekend night.

No wonder you're conflicted about American pizza if you're basing your opinion on Pizza Hut pizza. Ever had Chicago style pizza? Oh. My. God. It's got a thin crust but then stuffed about four inches thick with sauce, meat and cheese. About ten years ago I went to Jeno's East in Chicago, which has one of the best recipes for this pizza. Jeno's invites people to do graffiti on the walls, and I inadvertently leaned against a lipsticked graffiti, thereby ruining a $250 suit. Totally worth it.

And thanks for coming to my rescue Jayjay. Man, after 37 years of fending for myself, I have to admit that was totally cool.
