Is anyone else kind of pissed about the fact that pizza doesn't really seem to be a thing that exists in this city? Not to be overly dramatic or anything, it's just that after that shared nightmare from last week, some greasy takeout would have really hit the spot for stress eating.

I'd consider taking a crack at making my own, but if at any point I ever knew the recipes for the dough and sauce and shit, pretty sure I forgot them whenever I got hit with the amnesia stick.

What I miss is some good kushikatsu.

There's gotta be a good way to recreate it with magic. Although I got no idea whether putting magic food in your mouth's good for ya in the long run.

[psychotronics]

And now you've given me an excellent reason to learn more about conjuration magic. Although you have a good point about the potential side effects... I'll have to look into that.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, be a real pain to sprout wings or bunny ears all of a sudden.

But ya know what? I bet any half-decent baker'd be willing to take a crack at one, too. Cheese, bread, toppings -- what's not to like? They might even get a solid sales boost if it catches on.

[ And why wouldn't it? Exhibit A: Pizza. ]

Srry, hiatus happened

[psychotronics]

Good point. Think they'd let me collect royalties for the idea?

no prob

[justbeingknife]

Why not? You're the ideas expert, right? I bet they'd be thrilled to hear about any other new recipe ideas, too.

[ Go wild, introduce the 6 foot party sub! The world was an outworlder's proverbial oyster. ]

[showsnopiety]

It's mostly a matter of finding the right things and what you can substitute for one thing or another.

Though....

[She sighed.]

We'd have to build a brick oven to truly make the best pizza. Some things really take time.

[psychotronics]

[ She snorts, sounding highly amused. ]

A brick oven? Yeah, uh, I'm getting the sense that you might have a more refined palate than I do.

[showsnopiety]

I wouldn't say refined.

It's just how it's made where I'm from.

[psychotronics]

Oh. Sorry... Brick ovens have kind of fallen in to obsolescence where I'm from.

[topslug]

Amnesia? I didn’t think you hit the water in the well that hard...

[psychotronics]

I didn't. It's a pre-well, pre-mirror condition.

[topslug]

Does that make things difficult?

[psychotronics]

[ Deadpan, and without missing a beat: ] Does what make things difficult?

[loadme]

I don't know how to make pizza, but I understand how you feel.

Eating junk food after a long day... it feels really good, I think.

[psychotronics]

I feel like I remember mainly eating it because I didn't have the time to eat anything else, but. It sure does get addictive after a while.

[loadme]

It's not very good for you, either. Then again, that's why they call it "junk food" to begin with. Or is it more along the lines of "comfort food?"

[psychotronics]

I don't think comfort food and junk food are mutually exclusive ideas but, that point aside: At least you can put vegetables on pizza?

[juzubeads]

I guess I'm just used to Japanese dishes. But you're right that the food here is different. Making your own from scratch is an option at least, maybe if you can find the ingredients you need. Dough can't be that hard though? I mean, assuming they have the ingredients to make bread around here. Some tomatoes and cheese and whatever else you want on the pizza.

Pretty sure take out is not an option here, as convenient as it is back home.

[psychotronics]

Hah. It probably could be an option. It'd just take someone with enough grit and some entrepreneurial spirit.

[ From the lazy way she says it, it doesn't sound like she considers herself to fit that bill. ]

[juzubeads]

It's....just a pizza. That's hardly difficult to make.

[True he is more used to Japanese dishes and simple snacks like making onigiri but he knows enough basic dishes to get by.]

Sorry I wound up hiatusing not long after I posted this, like a dingus.

[psychotronics]

[ Amused: ] See, that sounds like the talk of someone who knows the ingredients for making pizza dough from scratch.

[ Come on, Kyo. She's WAITING. ]

[despised]

Describe pizza to me.

This isn't the first time I've heard of it. Is it that good?

[psychotronics]

I don't want to oversell it, but yeah. It's pretty damn good. There's a lot of different varieties but the basic idea is a flat bread crust topped with tomato sauce and cheese, and then you put whatever toppings you want on it. Pepperoni's a pretty common one.

[despised]

Hm... What toppings do you recommend? I've seen those ingredients around, but I haven't used them myself, so I don't know what goes well with them.

[psychotronics]

Can't go wrong with the pepperoni, like I said. Pineapple and ham are a good bet too, though I think it might be kind of hard to find pineapple around here.
