Pizza must be the most boring food going

each mouthful tastes the same

Surely this applies to numerous foods? :confused:

Pastas, curries, chinese dishes, pasties, sandwiches etc all have little to no variation between mouthfuls the same way as pizzas don't.

with a curry you have a mouthful of curry then maybe rive then naan along with combinations of these and also side dishes

I find chinese desperately bland and sandwiches are only ever a source of essential nutrition ( quick and cheap )

You can do the same with pizzas though, with say a couple of dips and maybe a side of garlic bread or something.

You weird weird man, Chinese is food of the Gods

I take it from all this then that just about the only foods you like are esentially English dishes?

Our AU (oddly) gives us 50% off dominos and pizza hut

Damn, I'm at work starving and all I can think about is that sour cream and chive sauce dripping over a texas bbq dominoes. It's maddening I tell you.

I am going to take a wild guess that Rotty find Italian bland as well. And taking another guess that he likes meals that has loads of different combinations in it, where each bite is different to the next. Taking another guess here, but i think that's why he finds Pizzas and Sandwiches Bland. Thou no idea how he find Chinese bland.......

i actually find chinese quite bland. it's really greasy as well - i have to be REALLY in the mood for it

The problem is Chinese food in England is not "proper" Chinese food, the reason for the grease is because it is cooked in quite a bit of oil, this is to cook the food quicker. The food i get at home or in Hong Kong is totally different, for 1 thing, you won't find any seafood dish in a Chinese Takeaway, nor there will be any leafy vegetables, or any vegetables that can go brown when store in a container.

LOL, there will be no sweet and sour dishes, not curry, no fried rice. There will be lots of leafy veg, steamed fish, stirfried meat with veg and occasionally a roast duck or Pork.
