Pizza

[pat2604]

Was reading how many pizzas the average person eats per year. Amazed!

Are we the only people who don't eat pizza?

I don't eat Pizza either.

[ladybirder]

No you're not Lottie, I don't eat the either.

We enjoy an occasional extra special one from Sainsburys with a huge bowl of salad. Never had one from any of those pizza delivery places.

I love cheese on toast though!

Consumers in the USA spend more each year on pizza ($32bn) than the annual budget of NASA ($23bn).

The last time I had pizza, I'd ordered it online & no lie within 10 minutes it turned up. Horrible!!!

The only pizzas we eat (a couple of times a year) are homemade from scratch - never had a pre-done one from anywhere.

You are not alone, Pat. My family eats cheese on toast but we have never eaten pizza.

Lottie - I never was a Pizza person - bought a few and went Urgh, either bought in a supermarket or from takeaways.

However where I live we have loads of Pizza places but there is one I love is Pizza Guyz (something like that) - beautiful pizza just with that lovely crispy dough. I wouldn't buy any of the others. Welcome back LoftyLottie.

There's no wonder that there are so many overweight people, looking at the amounts eaten. I think lots of kids are fed pizzas as a routine meal.

Thanks JJ x

I agree, Pat - often with chips AND garlic bread.

I make my own, about every couple of months, I like pizza but even using reduced fat cheese and a wholemeal base they have to be an occasional treat. Dave loved the pizza hut buffet, I had a slice and then piled on the salad.

Could finda link for what I read, but found this.

I never/rarely* eat pizza as the wheat is not my friend...and I'm half Italian.
* I did have pizza a few months ago when out with daughter and her partner. It was thin, crispy and not stodgy.
A well made pizza can be as healthy as any other bread based meal such as sandwiches. Just don't serve with chips or garlic bread...I mean, WHY ??

My question is...for those who don't eat pizza but do eat cheese on toast...why not? Just curious.

[barry1010]

pasta, I never knew how to eat pizza - are you supposed to eat a whole one in one sitting? If not, what do you do with the rest?

I slice of bread is an ample portion for cheese on toast

when we first discovered my daughter was a fussy eater, pizza was a god send - carbs, vegetables, fruit and protein in one meal. When i was doing diet club, you could count treats and have up to 20 "SYNS" a day. This did include takeaway and eating out type food by having small portions/ choosing carefully from the menu and my diet leader said that pizza shops were the only shop that the only thing off the menu you could have was diet coke.

cold for lunch the next day barry!
