Rate my dinner
Image includes a glass of beer and pizza on a wooden board
My wife and kids call me a Brunswick hipster for eating off the chopping board.
I didn't want to dirty another plate
Nothing wrong with eating it on the chopping board. Makes it fancy looking. And I was being a little descriptive (remember to add descriptions for pics posted)
we want plates! (also I feel called out, often eating off a chopping board and living in brunswick... get out of my head bro!)
Hahaha
As a suburbanite, we poke fun in inner city hipsters but emulate them in silence.
The beer is super hipster too, I'm sure you haven't heard of it
Are... are you trying to out hipster me? Bruh, I have a merch hoodie for Inner North Brewery, my local. I dont know if that is hipster, I may just want to brag, because it's actually a really great hoodie!!
Are you assuming the beer is local?
Oh you sweet summer child.
For real, merch hoodies are fucking awesome most times.
Presentation: 8/10 (the contrasting angle of the bench, board and pizza work well, but the spacing of the beer glass is wrong)
Toppings: 8/10 (I can't give you 10 as I can't identify all of the toppings)
Roundness: 7/10 (I estimate 70% roundness)
Total score: 23/10 looks great, I hope you enjoyed it!
T'was indeed good
Oohh looks interesting! I agree with Studchad.
Remove the olives!
Still giving you a 10 out of 10 for that marvellous creation.
Black Spanish olives in brine are top tier. All others are gross
Kalamata is the superior olive!
Nope.
You're entitled to your wrong opinion.
Greeks can grill and do seafood, but olives....not so much
Here we go. Looks like artichoke, tomato, cheese mushrooms and Spanish black olives. (Uneven spray of olives, base looks a little rough, minus anchovies. I'll have to deduct a point) 4/5 yum yums. Well done. 👍
There's some crab meat there too
Yeah the roundness was an issue, but fuck it....it's good
My pizzas rarely achieve roundness. They still taste good though, and that's what matters.
Indeed
Form follows function.
Unless you're an architect, in which case your opinion doesn't matter
Fuck yeah. It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it's edible. You're not an artiste.
The family enjoyed theirs too
5 wins all around
That's it. I must add I don't even make pizza bases. I just use lebanese bread. Hahaha.
An honourable, but inferior substitute.
We only make the dough cause it's dead shit easy in a bread maker
True. It's only because there's always a shitload in my freezer at all times and I've worked out how to make it crispy.
I give that pizza 10/10 , or, if there were pizzas in the Shire and served at the Green Dragon 5 out of 5 hobbits. It looks like a perfect blend of toppings and the crust is perfect right to the centre of the pizza.
I thank yee
Yum! Is that artichoke hearts? And did you make it yourself?
Yes and yes.
The dough is a family recipe I got the from the net.
The artichoke hearts are grilled and marinate in oil from a wog shop.
Delicious! I also rate it 23/10, but politely request no crab meat on my serve, thanks 😊
Of course.
I cater to vegetarians and vegans upon request.
And other preferences as well.... except the gluten free crowd. I'm sorry for their condition, but cannot abide.
Remove the olives, and it'd be 10/10. As it stands, I'm deducting 1 point for being a gross olive-eater, for a respectable 9/10.
I'm with you most times. Black Spanish olives are the only ones I eat.
I love them. They are my fav. Runner up are the green olives stuffed with anchovies. Get on them.
Ain't a fan of other olives.
No matter the filling
I'm telling you they are special. Anchovy stuffed olives
Fine. I'll try them. Happy now?
I hope you and your family are. How did the burgers turn out?
They turned out delicious. Cooked them in the airfryer finished off in the frying pan with cheese. Ps you'll only like those olives if you love anchovies otherwise forget it. My kid goes through a jar of them.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @MeanElevator that looks very salty
Nup, olives taste like all the worst parts of cum and off-butter mixed together; way too salty, way too oily, and grosssssssss
You've been tasting the wrong mix of cum and butter it seems.
More importantly was it yummy and is it all gone?
Oh yeah. It's disappeared and sitting in my belly
That’s what I like to hear 🙂
