If you don't feel like eating the crust, you're having a shitty pizza.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Agreed. Just crushed a pizza and the crust was awesomely good

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Unless you're trying to maximize protein to carb ratio when eating a pizza (if your top priorityis to eat the pizza). But then, are you really eating a pizza if you don't eat the crust?

But I like the cheese and topping part a lot more so way eat extra calories?

Alternatively...

🥺

Make me?

Apparently you've been eating substandard pizza, because really good pizza crust is a delight unto itself.

However if you insist you only like the toppings, you have 2 choices:

  1. Find a life partner who loves crust.

  2. Just bake the toppings in/on a sheet pan and eat them directly from it, without crust.

Fuck that.

  • You're a grown ass adult, eat whatever you want

If you don't like the taste of crust and have enough money that you don't need to make use of every piece of food, then don't eat the crust.

If you don't like the taste of crust but think it has some benefit, then eat the crust.

If you don't like the taste of crust but are broke and want to eat the crust to feel full so you can spend more money on other stuff, then eat the crust.

If you like the taste of crust but want to save the crusts to make an art piece out of them, then don't eat the crust.

YOU'RE AN ADULT, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, DON'T LET SOCIETY PRESSURE YOU TO DO OTHERWISE

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Counterpoint: Society should be pressuring people not to increase food waste just because they can afford throw stuff away for no reason.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (5 children)

People throwing away crust isn't even a grain of sand in the ocean of food waste. But as stated in my original comment, you can choose to eat the crust if that feels important to you. And even though you would be wrong for pressuring other people to eat crusts, the other person should do whatever the fuck they want despite your pressuring

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (7 children)

This opinion is a similar vein as "there's no point recycling plastic because most plastic waste is caused by industry". We are all grains of sand on this earth. And in turn we are all full of microplastics.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Plastics recycling doesn't happen much because it is an expensive process, and new plastic is too cheap. Even if you put it in the blue recycling bin, it's fairly unlikely that it actually gets recycled and used again.

Metals actively get recycled well. Paper and glass recycle okay, but in practice also face problems.

people throw away the crust? is this an American thing?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not enough corn syrup on that bit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

i think they just love wasting food at this point.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

It can be surprisingly difficult to get good crust in the US. But I can understand not always wanting to eat the crust in America because some pizzarias just don't care enough to make a good dough.

But my dog expects the crust. I'd never let him down

Lucky, my dog is gluten intolerant. It's not fun cleaning out his fur.

The crust is(most of the tine) the best part of the pizza. I sometimes only eat the crust

You eat the base of the pizza there? That's crazy. It's like eating a paper plate. You are supposed to eat only the topping. Next you're gonna say you eat the bread that wraps your sandwiches.

You are mistaken, I am a grown ass-man.

How to eat crust

  • Method 1: Finish main portion of slice, then raw dog crust

  • Method 2: Finish main portion of slice, then dip in preferred sauce or orifice.

  • Method 3: Puree entire slice and insert into mouth hole via straw or funnel.

  • Method 4: Roll pizza slice around crust, creating a Swiss Pizza Roll. slice into wheels 1/4-1/2" thick width. Use 4 Pizza Wheels, several toothpicks, and one additional slice of pizza to create a PizzaMobile. Race your friends or pet or imaginary friend to see who can make the fastest PizzaMobile!

  • Method 5: Throw crust in the trash can and stare at it for 5-10 minutes. Glare loathingly at it; make it understand exactly how disgusted you are by its lack of sauce, cheese, and toppings. What a piece of shit.......................

Protip: leave some cheese near the crust and eat the crust lengthwise. Tada! You got cheesy bread.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

I'm a grown ass man. I'll eat or don't eat what i damn well please.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

When I was in grade school, I used to only eat the crust. I hated the center part with its tomatoes and cheese and stuff.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Oh, you mean the pizza. You hated the pizza. You liked bread.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Young you would've absolutely loved bread

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

And wash the tablet down with water. You don’t need chewy ones.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I make my own pizza, and I always put stuff on the crust to make it interesting to eat in its own right. Usually I alternate little chunks of himalayan sea salt, roasted garlic, and black garlic every inch or so around the outside. Makes it into a sort of weird but tasty pretzel.

I have tried making stuffed crust pizza by folding the outside edge back over some cheese, but it always opens up while cooking in the oven. I don't know what the secret is to that shit. Maybe I should use staples?

"We're now live at Mr Plohmann's who's voluntarily eaten nothing but pizza crust for four years."

"I never said 'voluntarily'!"

"You still eating that?"

My method is to eat the crust first save for a tiny handle, making it an appetizer. It tastes best when I'm hungriest, before proceeding with the cheesy, greasy main course.
