American Invasions

[Katbel]

I really doubt the US is on anyone's wish list for emigration at the moment. . Maybe in 3 years...we'll see if Donny starts WW3 before then.

And the pizza in Italy isn't anything special imho. Now Chicago - THERE is some great pizza!

Maybe you have not been in the right places: try a pizza with mozzarella di buffalo in Naples , then you tell me
Maybe Chicago has some Neapolitans making the pizza there, but you will still not have the real ingredients: tomatoes grown on volcanic rich soil under the warm sun , mozzarella made with milk from buffalos etc. That’s is the real pizza .
Look for “ Searching for Italy" with Stanley Tucci, Episode 1 Naples and the Amalfi coast.

Chicago has tomato cakes, not pizza. Italy has pizza. That’s why I go back there every few years.

Back when I was in boarding school, we had to fly into Chicago to get back after breaks. The best flight I could get out of WV was a 6:30am to Chicago, landing around 7:30am Chicago time.

So I’m sitting in O’Hare waiting for the buses that left in the afternoon and some classmates had arrived and some had the idea to go to Geno’s for pizza. Sounded like a great idea.

I had no idea what Chicago deep dish was like, figuring it was along the lines of a pan pizza from the Hut. I could not have been more wrong.

It was gross. That isn’t pizza.

I grew up in NY. Pizza was one of the three food groups. I can admit that a true chicago “pizza” can be tasty, for what it is. But it isn’t pizza. I mean, if that’s pizza, then pot pie is pizza and a soft taco is pizza.

The pizza in italy is absolutely delicious. Domestic U.S. buffalo mozzarella is still terrible, and when they fly the stuff in from Italy it’s not fresh. So there’s nothing like a pizza in Naples or even Rome.

I will say that the first decade or so I lived in California I was deeply disappointed and mildly disgusted by the pizza options, which ranged from NY school cafeteria-style to “california style” (distract from the fact that they don’t know how to make marinara or cheese by sticking barbecue chicken and arugula on top) to “ny style” that, at best, looked sort of like NY pizza but the crust is too thick and tastes odd, there isn’t enough sauce, and the cheese isn’t oily enough. Finally we got some very good italian-style pizza places when a guy from Italy opened a few restaurants in our downtown here, and then other italian-style places moved to the same street (sort of forming our own little little italy here). Now I can get pizza that, while not the best I ever had, doesn’t make me regret moving here.

Can't wait to see Republicans defend this one.

You know what you are talking about!
NY has very good Italian food and imagine pizza having so many Italians immigrants from the south.
Rome has good pizza too, because they have their own buffaloes . Fresh cheese can’t travel too far without losing is taste
Have you ever tried la burrata? Yummy. We lived in the north of Italy but we had friends going south and coming back the same day bringing us these delicacies.

mozzarella di buffalo

Man, I would not want to have to sit on that stool. I mean, "buffalo" is a very different critter from NA bison, which are just plain assholes, but even so.

 

[Eric]

yeah, but the thing you linked to was about the “message” feature, specifically. These are two different things. So all I’m saying is the ado about “I can’t send a message that just has the word ‘Epstein’ in it” has nothing to do with “my video was about Minneapolis and got zero views” thing.

To your point...

Best pizza I ever had was in Trastevere, Rome a few months ago, one of several I had in Italy. Eating outside along a cobblestone street on a warm early fall evening made it even better.

yeah, now they’re saying this (which is different than the last thing) is a bug caused by the loss of a data center due to blackouts. Take it for what it’s worth.

Best thing I’ve had in Trastevere is arancini. Mmm. Pizza was good too, though. And there used to be a mozzarella bar there that just had all different kinds of mozzarella and burrata. That was pretty great.

I watched the vinegar attack on Ilhan Omar from a different angle than the first reports, and I was profoundly impressed by what I saw.

This big hulking brute jumps up on the platform and squirts her from a yard away. Instead of flinching, cowering or retreating, she, without hesitation, rushes towards him with her fist raised. He is "saved" by a security guard tackling him and pushing him off the stage.

My hat is off to her.

I liked how her guard bear-clawed the attacker. He could break ribs without even trying.

I was not impressed with Italian pizza downtown Florence. I much prefer US variations like Chicago or New York.

 

[Huntn]

Well, looks like we found ourselves a scapegoat, in a Nazi coat.

This is how it works, “you are my shields, my scape goats, serve me loyally, take the bullet proudly. Now those of you who whine publicly, the dumpster for you!”

Florence is too north of Rome or Naples and around . Plus very expensive and touristy. Beautiful though to visit

We loved Florence, but yes, it is expensive. Had a lot of gelato!

Trump is suing the IRS for 10 billion dollars. because he said they leaked his tax returns.

Are you sure it's not the amount he owes them?
