KarenNC Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I was watching an English show, "Love, Lies, and Records," and it looked like they were putting mayo on their pizzas during dinner. There were also bottles of ketchup and maybe bbq sauce (didn't see the label) on the table. Is this a thing? The show is set in Leeds. I've been known to put a little ranch or blue cheese dressing on a buffalo chicken pizza, but haven't heard of any of the above, so I was curious.

KarenNC Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) It's a common thing in Japan. Their mayo is better than ours though. I've tried the Kewpie mayo before, got it from the Asian market when I was trying to replicate toppings from Tokyo Dog. It is a bit of a different flavor. I like mayo quite a lot but the one we use (Duke's, a Southern brand) which doesn't include sugar like most US mayos.

cjzimmer1 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I haven't heard of mayo either but it doesn't really surprise me. I would say 90% of the pizza we eat has BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce because pizza sauce is really boring. But we've also used alfredo sauce, ranch dressing, pesto sauce, honey mustard, teriyaki sauce and other sauces that suit our fancy (we make our own pizzas so it's easy to play around with them) so mayo seems doable too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ondreeuh Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Here is the menu for Domino's Pizza in Belgium. https://www.dominos.be/fr/menu. I don't actually see any corn. Their "American" is just pepperoni & cheese. But a lot of their pizzas use creme fraiche (kinda like sour cream) for the sauce. Look at the Cheeseburger pizza - it has pickles! They also have tuna and shrimp pizzas. Blech. The goat cheese & bacon pizza is pretty good. It has honey, which is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawthorne44 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 One thing that I thought was incredibly weird was this Calzone I had at a pizza place in Paris. It had eggs on the list for what I ordered. I thought for certain that they were just referring to how some people brush a tiny bit of egg on a crust to make it shiny and pretty. Nope, scrambled eggs inside with tomato sauce and pepperoni and some other things. One thing that had amused me there is that they gave the English menu to my boyfriend who preferred French menus, and the menu in French to me the language dunce.

foxbridgeacademy Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Oh, wow, you're right it is mayo and there's a bottle of ketchup and BBQ too. It looks like though that they're putting it on the plate not directly on the pizza. As for Ranch, we make our own with Kroger ranch dip mixes (tastes like the more $$ hidden valley buttermilk mix) and we dip our pizza crusts in it although I've been know to dip all my pizza in it. It tastes nothing like the nasty oily store bought stuff. I use 1/3 mayo to 2/3 sour cream and then I thin it out with milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 1. I have never eaten mayo on a pizza but having discovered that I actually DO like to sometimes dip my pizza in Ranch dressing (which I normally do not particularly like at all) I think I can get past my initial revulsion and try it. 2. Full disclosure, I love mayonnaise but only Kraft. DH hates mayonnaise but likes Miracle Whip. We buy both to keep the peace. Now I'm wondering if DH would be willing to eat pizza with Miracle Whip. LOL. 3. Yes I am in Texas and yes many of us Texans apparently do tend to dip carby things in Ranch dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial reaction to mayo on fries was that it would be very odd, but then I remembered that I like to dip my fries in tartar sauce if we're at a fish camp. Since that's primarily mayo with chopped dill pickle and a few seasonings, I imagine just mayo would be fine. I love peanut sauce but have never tried it on fries since they don't tend to be around at the same time here. Tzatziki is also really good on fries (or mixed with rice). As to the corn on pizza, never seen it here. We have some varieties of Dr. Oetker's pizzas here, but not the Big Americans line of them, at least not that I've seen. If at all possible, I try to only do Duke's mayo, which has a bit of a different taste as it's made with no sugar.

If we're going to be pointlessly nitpicky in this silly way, I might as well say that nothing with tomatoes is "really" Italian because tomatoes are a New World plant, and nothing with pasta is Italian either because those come from Asia.

I know hellmans has less sugar than salt, for instance, and zero carbs/zero sugar per serving. You can definitely taste the difference between mayo made with sugar and without. My dad didn't believe my sister and I could taste the difference so did a blind taste test with us once. We had no difficulty knowing which was which. I may have to try the Trader Joe's mayo to see how it compares to my standard Duke's. The ingredient list looks similar, with lemon, which I like, and neither one uses any sugar. As to slaw, can't stand slaw dressing either. I make my slaw with the no sugar mayo, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Odd, since I have a big sweet tooth, but this is how my mother made it. My stepmother, on the other hand, used to add artificial sweetener to everything, including commercial thousand island dressing, which already has a lot of sugar in it.
