Yes. Scotland's culinary gifts to the world are... Rebekah Send a noteboard - 12/03/2017 03:14:18 PM

... sheep innards with porridge, fish in cream (cullen skink) and deep fried Mars bars so the food standards here are not particularly high.


View original postWhen one ponders the locations that create the world's most sublime pizzas, Scotland generally does not make the top ten. So you have an excuse.

I've just spent a week in Italy. The pizzas were sublime. Mmmm.
View original postGreg (The Shrike) was commenting on the food known as Chicago style pizza. It is a deep dish concoction with the cheese beneath a layer of tomato sauce. As such, it may taste good. But it is not pizza. It is more accurately a baked tomato, cheese and dough casserole.

Yes, but why are you calling it a casserole?
