Love pizza and love cashews, but the combo sounds too, too something.

Me too! They look roasted and I feel like I'd find them delicious and crunchy on pizza.0 -

So I need to avoid it completely. People sometimes add MSG to their cooking, especially asian food, which is too bad for me.
You do know MSG occurs naturally in many food items right?
Yes, I know it occurs naturally in many foods. For example, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, soy extracts, and protein isolate, as well as in tomatoes and cheeses. So I have cut out tomatoes and all dairy, and never have soy sauce or foods with any kind of yeast in the indgredients. Since I am on keto, I don't eat bread, which really helps! I also feel nauseous after soy sauce just like things with added MSG.0 -

Cashews on pizza is a delicacy hubs and I must have missed when we visited WA last year...can't say I'm terribly disappointed, though...
(Apologies if this has come up already but I'm not reading back through 170 pages) I must be the only person alive that bought a spiralizer because I like zucchini and not because I'm looking for a lOw CaRb pAsTa sUbStiTutE. No one ever talks about making zoodles because zucchini is tasty, no one spiralizes cucumbers for cucumber salad just to shake things up, nope, it's all about avoiding tEh EviL CaRbS.3 -

To be fair, how one slices, dices, or otherwise cuts up one's veggies is not a very lively topic for conversation. Cutting zukes in spirals instead of matchsticks (say) is a convenience, but it's hard to frame as revolutionary or life changing. Not conversationally fascinating.
Add that (some, silly) people will think of us as wingnuts if we do it just to eat tasty veg, when everyone knows it's for cutting out evil carbs by sacrificing foods we enjoy, in the epic dietary battle of Good vs. Evil. In that frame, veggies are kinda icky, but dutiful. Only the low-carb ones, though. 🙄
And I'd definitely eat the cashews on pizza (might try it at home sometime). I'd skip the pepperoni . . . mostly because vegetarian, but also as someone who's been veg for a long time, there are limits to how much mouth-coating melty but congealable fat I want on my pizza (or anything else). The mouth feel is not pleasant, to me.1 -
I used zucchini at times in lieu of pasta when I had no interest in how high my carbs were (although I didn't mind it was a bit of a calorie savings -- it's great with pesto which of course can be quite high cal), and same with spaghetti squash. I love zucchini, but usually don't spiralize it because I think it tastes as good chopped the normal way, and spiralizing is fussier than I like unless there's some reason to do it for a specific dish.
I make cucumber salad too, but have never seen one that required spirals.4 -
I hate the texture of pasta and noodles, it's just rubber slime. I don't understand why someone would eat cheese for the taste. Oh, and eggs suck.1

I think olives are a great snack3

it's been awhile since I've had an olive (🤨)...but olives are super delicious (just not those nasty canned ones!)0 -
Olives are yummy but now that I have had kidney stones I can't eat them anymore (they're high in oxalates)2
-
Olives are a favorite of mine. I don't think of them as a snack (since I don't snack), but I use them in cooking a lot or just have them on a salad.1

Guy around here who makes great wood-fired brick oven pizza has an appetizer now that's PB&J on pizza crust, *with cheese*. He gave me a sample when he was first experimenting with the idea. I wouldn't have thought it, but it was good: The warm peanut butter and warm jelly on his excellent pizza crust (Detroit style), with the added richess of good mozzarella? Transportingly good, in fact. I don't know how much of it I could eat, because it's really, really rich. But sooo good.3 -

Chocolate cake is disgusting.
Dark chocolate is the worst.
I prefer instant mashed potatoes to real.2 -

A pizza base is just bread. Why not? In the summer at the beach in Italy, we have a place that makes pizza bianca (white pizza--plain pizza crust with salt and olive oil) and in the afternoon they spread Nutella on it and cut it into rectangles. There is a long line starting at 4 until 7 in the evening to pick it up.3 -
It's the peanut butter with tomato sauce and cheese that swicks me out, so without those elements it would be hypothetically fine, but not interesting to me. Hmm. Thai pizza with a peanut sauce and peanuts is a thing (my parents used to love it and I've tasted it and it was fine), and that has cheese, and I've made a stew inspired by an African peanut stew with peanut butter and tomatoes, so I could be being close-minded here.
I like peanut butter but hate peanut butter sandwiches, so this also could be my own weird food things getting in the way.0 -
Yuck I could not do peanut butter with tomato sauce. I’m not a fan of peanut butter in savory dishes.
Panera is overrated and over priced.1 -

I too could imagine not liking pb on a traditional tomato sauced pizza. However I love other savory recipes using pb - like the dipping sauce you have with Thai salad rolls/African pb stew/Satays/Thai inspired pizzas (yes...pizza - but it sauced with a ginger/pb/tamari sauce...) Veggie pad Thai (yum!)1 -

Yes, agree.1 -
FWIW, the local PB&J one has cheese (I think just mozzarella, though not sure), but not tomato sauce.
