I had a craving on the way home, so I stopped at the Little Ceasar's, picked up a medium Canadian pizza for $7, and brought it home on the bus.

I've eaten more than half of it.

Yummy. Pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, extra cheese, all on a decent bread crust. Very nice.

No - and there's just enough left for tomorrow's lunch. :) Sorry, love.

Is it true that food tastes better now?

Some foods taste different. I now avoid red onion, and I crave cheese or any other dairy product, including milk chocolate. I've always loved this kind of pizza, so it's difficult to say if it tastes better now than it used to. :)

I've never heard of "Canadian pizza."

I'm assuming that what we call "Canadian bacon", you guys just call "bacon"? ^.^

Canadian pizza is pepperoni, mushrooms, bacon, and sometimes extra cheese.

And what you call "Canadian bacon", I believe we call peameal or back bacon, but I'm not sure. Either way, that's what's used on this pizza.

Pizza Hut (at least, their Canadian site (http://www.pizzahut.ca) lists Canadian pizza in its Specialties section, among Triple-Crown, Hawaiian, and Greek.

No, we just call bacon bacon. Canadian bacon is Canadian bacon, or (more commonly) "peameal bacon."

I'm always amused when I pass restaurants that boast "Canadian" cuisine.

Yeah, but Canadian pizza is different. It's part of our national identity.

Very true. Canadian Pizza stands up there with Hockey, Maple Syrup and Insulin as some of the greatest Canadian contributions.

So the West Coast and the Middle of the country can at least agree on these things: pepperoni/bacon/mushroom pizza, maple syrup, insulin, and our revered National Sport, are all quintessentially US.

Now if we could just get you guys to admit that snow is a GOOD thing for most of the winter, you'd be all set. :)

*grins* Snow is a wonderful thing... up on the mountains. See... there's this thing we attach to the roof of the car, called a ski rack. And we put our nice warm snow gear in the car and our skis on the roof and drive 20 minutes to the base of the mountain, where the first bit of snow is, get dressed in our snow gear and take the tram up and go skiing.

Snow on the roads... this is a bad thing. Lower-Mainland drivers don't know how to deal with it. It causes many insurance claims. :-P

Wow!
You did what I almost did! I had a pizza in my shopping basket (seven pizzas actually) for several minutes before I talked myself out of it and cooked a big dutch dinner instead :D

Well, it could be any of several dishes, but in this case it was hutspot, porkchop gravy and sausages. Yum!

My MIL makes this often. I hate peeling potatoes, so I rarely do. Still, I love the mixture of carrots, potatoes and onions. And gravy out of a can works, too. :)

That sounds good! Very different than my lazy habit of rice noodle and pickles soup, but good.

It's great! As [livejournal.com profile] velvetpage mentions, peeling all the potatoes is a pain (and peeling the onions is definitely painful on the eyes!) but it's so worth it for the food I grew up on. When I make it, it's equal parts potato, onions, and carrots, chopped up and boiled in the same pot, then drained, mashed, salted and peppered with white pepper at the same time as the porkchops are finished frying. Mmm.. I've got leftovers for my lunch again tomorrow!

hello! this is carbonel. hopped over from [livejournal.com profile] curtana's meme (http://www.livejournal.com/users/curtana/390532.html?view=1744772#t1744772). hope you wouldn't mind me adding you!

an apology in advance though - i will probably be quite inefficient in reading my friends page till end of november cuz of school.

gee, there's a Canadian pizza? i never knew that! the "canadian pizza" we've got here (in Singapore) is the chain "Canadian Pizza". o_O

You're in Singapore? That's cool. :) I don't think I have anyone on my list who's further away than London, England. Welcome!

Canadian Pizza is a bread crust (not a thin crust, though those are good at different times) with pepperoni, mushrooms, bacon, mozzerella, and the usual pizza sauce on it. Pile the toppings high and enjoy. It's very fattening, but very worth it. :)

You know, we don't have a chain called "Canadian Pizza?"

Thanks! (= hmmm most of our pizzas here are thin-crusted (though Pizza Hut has "the Edge" range which are even thinner), and those with bread crusts are usually the kind that bakeries stock... Pizza sauce? Gee, I think there's a huge gap in the pizzas in our countries cuz I've never heard of that... or I'm too blur to notice!

Haha yea, I doubt you have such a chain. Not sure how the chain here got its name here though.

Pizza sauce is a thick tomato sauce with spices in it. It goes under the other toppings. Different chains put on different amounts.

I love thin-crusted pizzas most of the time, not least because they're much healthier. But some pizza combinations demand a thick bread crust, preferably baked in a half-inch of grease. :)

Ah okay, now I recognize pizza sauce. d=

I love thin because the thicker crusts (especially bread crusts, at least the ones here) makes my jaw tired from the chewing. x= I can't bake pizza to save my life - they all turn out soggy!

You haven't had very good bakers, then. It should be light and fluffy, not hard to chew.

And I have never in my life made a pizza from scratch. :)

The bakeries in neighbourhoods aren't much to rave about. Most people look to restaurants and specialised pizza-places for pizzas.

Haha, I suppose I feel better now then. d=
