Proposal for entertainment at next PAS gathering: put Giovanni in a room and force him to watch as someone prepares a Genuine Kiwi Pizza c.1980.
I think this one will do the trick. =l
Heh. A-heh heh heh heh heh ...
The page even has a misplaced apostrophe:
Kid's territory! All their favourites on one pizza – you can't go wrong.

Do it to Julia! Er, I mean, to Brickley. Seriously, though, what have I done? (And besides, I'm rather more horrified by last night's food in a minute cannelloni than by all the tinned spaghetti in the world.)

Dude. Have you had Watties tinned spaghetti? It is absolutely horrendous. I'm not being snobby here, either, because you can pry my Watties baked beans from my cold dead hands, but that spaghetti is like... amoebic slime or something. Shudder.

I'm not saying it would taste as bad, I just find it more offensive.
Here's the recipe, if you can call it that. Everything's premade, including the fabulously named Wattie’s Just Add Cottage Pie Simmer Sauce.

Okay, here's the actual recipe. Clearly my subconscious is trying to sabotage the whole thing.

Call any vegetable by name...
I looked quite carefully, but it seems like nobody has yet mentioned "totalitarian lentils". Tragic.
As we all know Garden is (for good reasons) an anagram of Danger! - yes! it's a jungle out there...
..and yet we have sadly omitted from the new nomenclature of food culture yer common or garden Despotatoes (informally: Dick Taters) and their fractional offshoot faction Fascist Fries... (coated in a Reliable Red Sauce)
A tasty treat with Blue-Collar Cheese and Plebeian Peas with Lashings of Greens and The Great Unwashed Mashes, natch!yrs hungrily

Despotatoes/Dick Taters! Snerk!
Can we give Ian some sort of PAS trophy?

<quote>Disclosure: I currently have chicken drumsticks steeping in a purchased teriyaki marinade. I'm thinking seasoned rice and green beans with that.<quote>
That's it Russell. I'm moving to the top of the list of people who will be up against the wall after the food [not "in a minute"!] revolution.

Ooh, and the chances are good
that the vegetable will respond to youHow about this? Is it real food? There's even purple potato paste, if you scroll down a bit.

3410 - spooky synchronicity. At the exact moment you were posting about that baked bean and chip pizza I was in a waiting room reading an article in an old woman's weekly about Alyson Gofton's dislike of that specific recipe - which was not her choice

I make Welsh rarebit with Wattie's Spaghetti and left-over sliced sausages, and a damn fine thing it is!

The people's pizza base ain't bread
It's more a scone-type dough instead
Inside your Sunday roasting pan
With pineapple out of a canSo bake that pizza, bake it good
The people's pizza, like you should
And though a kilo's far too dear
Some cheddar cheese is great on hereWe do not want bourgeois legumes
Nor basil pesto's garlic fumes
We do not trust your foreign cheese
Just honest kiwi tucker, pleaseSo bake that pizza, bake it good
The people's pizza, like you should
Through Gio's flinch and Danielle's tear

3410,
Alyson Gofton's dislike of that specific recipe
Well, the reviews are glowing. For instance:
if you are looking for a total junk food pig out on a pizza, then this one is a winner.

Hey, don't be dissin' the frozen purees. They're excellent for when you want to make broccoli mousse, broccoli pate de fruits, broccoli buttercream...

heh - we're hosting an AFS student for a year, she's from Switzerland (speaks better English than most people I know too). SHe was warned about our food by an Italian AFS student she met who'd been hosted in sunny Invercargill.
After a few weeks of meals deemed barely edible (I don't have details), her host family announced a special treat for their visitor - pasta!
And that's how our Swiss exchange student came to NZ armed with fears of being served something called "Watties' Spaghetti".

Personally, I think food tastes much better if I cook it over natural gas I've prepared myself.
This does tend to add to the preparation time, as you have to get organised and lay down your biomass base several million years in advance. But the results are worth it.
My preferred mixture is around 40/40 deciduous and evergreen (doesn't matter which species - I'm not some sort of food fanatic!), with the remaining 20% made up of a mix of switchgrass, hemp, corn, sorghum, and sugarcane - the exact ratio of these depending on what I'm cooking. I normally add a pinch of chilli and perhaps some coriander, too.

Amy Gale: magnificent.

And again, I'd have to say Wattie's spaghetti in a can at least doesn't pretend to be gourmet, unlike the risottos and the pastas you get served in your average NZ restaurant. I'll take the former over the latter.
Amy, Ian - I love you both very much.

May your soup be an opus...

May your tapas come with pasta
and your spaghetti turn to page hitts...You've forced my hand! Here's some horrible self-linkage then: this was cross-posted on Speaker last year but I updated it last week with pictures of the ancestral broth, so you might as well get a second serving. Whereas this I've been wanting to mention with regard to class and food - especially the beginning on the subject of my great-grandmother's duck scheme.

Islander,
I've finally twigged as to why you write ANZ for New Zealand. The A stands for Aotearoa. Nothing to do with banks or Australia. I can't believe that I didn't work it out the first time I saw it and thought "that's odd".
Cheers,
Brent. -
