Irish style pizza…
Coming soon to a “fusion” restaurant near you.
Anyone for a bacon and cabbage pizza?

Irish people have a very strange understanding of “pizza”
Isn’t that what Italians say about Americans?

And Chinese of American Chinese food.
And the French at times disparage our French Fries and French Toast.

I recall that Dutch pizza seemed to come with peas and corn on it…

In (American, 1980s) home ec class I was taught to make pizza crust out of bisquick. That’s well on the way to being a ‘scone crust’ and it wasn’t too bad.

Having traveled in Italy a bit, I can say unequivocally, “yes.”

The turtles influence was huge. We had an affinity for the turtles because the animation was done in Ireland.
It was fairly common to have a pizza station in Dunne’s (think Target, but grottier) and the mothers would mound 2 pounds of toppings on top. The pizza dough was like a sponge cake.
Bear in mind that large chain fast food restaurants weren’t common in the early '90’s. Pizza was seen as almost exotic.

They have no right! French fries are actually Belgian…

And Hungarians of “authentic traditional” Hungarian dishes that sometimes show up on American cooking websites… at least I did so, until I had a streak of accompanying a work client to some really fancy touristy restaurants, and I kept coming across similarly mutated and er, “re-imagined” versions of those traditional dishes. So now I wonder if some poor tourists come here, eat at one of these restaurants that claim to serve “traditional” meals and come away with a completely distorted picture of what Hungarian cuisine is supposed to be like.

You’ve never put a pizza pocket in a waffle maker??
(Admittedly, it was probably our friend Mary-Jane that introduced the idea to us)

I strongly dislike “articles” that consist almost entirely of pictures of other people’s tweets and replies. What a great way to take too much space to say very little in the most confusing layout.

I was under the assumption that an irish pizza was one eaten while drinking a pint of stout.
Anyway with a stout it’s better to take a pizza without tomatoes. With a Napoletana it’s better an unfiltered lager or a pale ale.

We made scone crust pizzas in my 1980s home economics class in southern England. They were OK, but then I was used to eating pizzas that contained baked beans and/or ‘luncheon meat’.
