My wife puts Tabasco sauce on her pizza, while I am convinced that an Italian person dies every time she does that. Help us sort this out, please.
That sounds pretty good to me. Though I would prefer crushed peppers, jalapenos, or Salsa Yucateca, Tabasco is a little too sour. Why do you care? Are you literally gatekeeping her pizza?
So what you want to know is: if i have a very negative attitude towards Italian people, can i support my wife in putting as much tabasco on her pizza?
Sure, why not? I put sriracha on some the pizzas we get, or make at home.
Some Italians may find this offensive, alas not as offensive as lathering pizza in ketchup.
Is she making he pizza for Italy, or for herself?
Don’t worry about what Italians think about how you eat pizza. Unless you are in Italy, however you are eating it is probably unappealing to most Italians no matter what you are putting on it, even in its base form with no modifications.
Tabasco is alright if you like Tabasco, I usually go for something hotter where I can, tabasco as a last option when my options are short.
That being said, they used to make a bomb ass chipotle sauce.
I like it spicy, but I can’t stand the vinegar taste of Tabasco on pizza. In some restaurants you could request chilli oil, which suits my taste better.
I put it on cold pizza, on hot i use chili flakes
Is it Tabasco specifically?
Because I also use Cholula, Tapatio, QM Cocoa Ghost…
Put whatever you want on a pizza, its a good delivery mechanism
I’m not a big hot sauce ON pizza kinda guy, but I dip the crust in something like secret aardvark. Buffalo chicken pizza is pretty popular and that’s basically a hot sauce pizza.
I’m not a fan of Tabasco so I wholeheartedly say “nay.” If we’re talking classic Sriracha or something less vinegary, then by all means “yea”.
Sriracha just doesn’t mesh well with pizza taste wise.
Wrong.
Says you.
I haven’t been arrested by Italian food cops yet so I’d say it’s fine. Do whatever you want to food that makes it taste good to you because taste is a very subjective thing.
The Pizza Police, you say?
What about spicy oil? It’s at least how I see it served, but may be there it even more traditional
The opinions of imaginary and very close-minded italians do not concern me and should not bother you as well.
Depends on the pizza. If you are eating a traditional pizza just like mamma mia made back in the old country, skip the Tabasco.
If you’re eating greasy sloppy pizza from a dirty little place called, “Joe’s” load up that Tabasco and the chili flakes, and add some of that artificial Parmesan powder that comes in little packets!
