Quote from: zombie no.one on Today at 03:05:05 AMour sweetcorn is kind of 'sweet' in the same way you could possibly call a cherry tomato 'sweet'? i.e. not really. just a little bit.So, I live in Philly. Kind of a big city. Lancaster, around an hour away, a lot of Mennonites and Amish. They love corn on pizza out there. But, they're 200 years behind the rest of us.

I could have understood it more if it'd been at the same scale as the most popular model railways for getting terrain and buildings.
I blame it on the people who want to play skirmish games in 28mm (mostly the Bolt Action crowd). Over the past decades I have noted a steady move away from massed miniatures to toy soldiers. Is this the influence of GW, or are gamers growing older and can't see 1/300th as well as they used to?
I agree that 1/56 is too big to fit comfortably on a table. I do like the scale for modelling though. You can get a lot more detail in than in 1/72 and it doesn't take up as much space as 1/35.
Quote from: zombie no.one on Today at 02:10:46 AM^^ I'm assuming you mean 'corn' as in what we call 'sweetcorn', i.e. the little yellow nuggets? yes that's often on pizzas here. I'm a fanSweetcorn. Yes. Is there a difference? Is it sweeter?
just remembered my first ever job was in a chinese takeaway which for some reason also did pizzas. the dough bases were ready made but we had to do everything else. some of the ones I ended up coming out with were terrible! burnt a few as well... never had any returned though, I think most customers ordering a pizza from a chinese takeaway were probably drunk

And that bothers me.Quote from: zombie no.one on April 01, 2026, 05:05:53 AMfav varieties?
I'm a classic pepperoni, mushroom + green peppers guy, but also dig a hawaiian ham+ pineapple as well. (pretty much the only 'sweet and savoury' combo of any food that I can tolerate tbh... I cannot stand sultanas in curries. actually makes me retch. caramelised onion is another instant no-no)
love chicken but not generally into chicken on pizza. not sure why, just seems wrong. not a fan of anchovies either really, too salty
From watching UK peope & pizza videos on youtube, many like to drizzle hot (spicy) honey on their pizza. Is that a popular UK thing? I am intruiged though, and might have to try that.
