EP.05) A short episode where I ask a few people in the dog park about pizza! If you like the show, please support my efforts by telling your friends and sharing this link --> https://linktr.ee/unexpectedenglish Thank you! [Transcription below] ROUGH TRANSCRIPT: OK here we are we're going to ask a few simple questions. When was the last time you had pizza? About a month and a half ago. Wow, six weeks ago! About four months ago. Oh my gosh, four months with no pizza! A week ago. All right a week ago, that sounds good! Now tell me, tell me - normally what do you like on your pizza? I like a pan pizza with the stuffed crust, extra cheese, pepperoni. bacon and sausage. (xxx) OK, so you said stuffed crust, can you you explain what that is because they don’t have that very many places. Its when the end of the pizza, the crust - Yeah, the crust, at the end of the pizza for people - I don't even know that word in Italian - but yeah, the end of the pizza is the crust ... xxx and they roll it up ...xxx and that way when you bite into it you have a little surprise ... HA HA HA! - OK I thought this was going to be the easy podcast but he made it complicated with his “stuffed crust”. On your pizza? Sausage. Just sausage? Just sausage and cheese. And yours? Pepperoni! Just pepperoni? Just pepperoni. And what do you drink when you're having a pizza? A glass of wine. A glass of wine. Uhh, water. Straight up water! Yeah, water.. And water. OK, we lost our fourth person so, so we'lll have to leave it at that. Thanks that was a quickie about pizza, I hope I can add more onto this some other time. Bye-bye! Cultural note: "Stuffed crust" is "cornicione ripieno” - another American way to brutalize the beauty of pizza! I personally put this in the same category as pineapple on pizza as something that should be illegal! 😂 Also notice that the word pepperoni is not the same as in Italy. Here it refers to an American variety of salami, made from cured pork and beef mixed together and seasoned with paprika or other chili pepper. Pepperoni is characteristically soft and bright red in color. Thinly sliced pepperoni is a popular pizza topping in American-style pizzerias.
