Cheese vs pizza? Really?

Haunted Clocks For Sale (Dorianlynskey), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:52 (fifteen years ago)

Noooo, you can't have cheese vs pizza. That's terrible. I'm going to have to go for pizza, because at least then I get to have some cheese. Since tomatoes got knocked out I can't cobble together a pizza out of the remaining foodstuffs.

Soup and eggs are easy choices, but I don't really like either tacos or chocolate. Might just have to flip a coin.

berries v. soup - you are CRUEL

the numbing/spicy queen of the conservative band (donna rouge), Wednesday, 4 August 2010 23:56 (fifteen years ago)

Pizza, Berries, Ice Cream, Tacos. My non-voting GF went Pizza, Soup, Eggs, Chocolate--different in three of four categories.

Really wish I'd been in on this one earlier, but I love it. DYING to see the beverages fites.

not convinced of this, and this whole bracketology business has demonstrated to me at least that the voyage is more interesting than the destination

A beer bracket would be interesting for sure, though I'm not a beer drinker myself. That's actually true of a lot of the candidates for this one (ice cream, obv.).

Mexico, camp, horns, Zappa, Mr. Bungle (Matos W.K.), Thursday, 5 August 2010 00:00 (fifteen years ago)

I've tried to make these rounds straddle weekdays and weekends so it reaches the most voters in every round. Continuing in that vein --

Quarterfinals - closing Saturday evening.
Semifinals - will close Wednesday evening, one week from today.
Finals - will close Sunday the 15th.

Monday the 16th -- we will finally all know what we're supposed to be having for dinner.

velvet underground = ice cream
stevie wonder = chocolate

iatee, Thursday, 5 August 2010 01:27 (fifteen years ago)

which would suggest a Pizza, Berries, Ice Cream, Tacos final

cheese/berries/ice cream/idc

☼ (Lamp), Thursday, 5 August 2010 05:10 (fifteen years ago)

I have voted against eggs in every round. They do not taste good, they smell awful, and they have the worst texture of any food ever, no matter how they're prepared.

naus, Thursday, 5 August 2010 07:13 (fifteen years ago)

Pizza, Berries, Ice Cream, Chocolate

A good pizza with lots of fresh rocket on it, some gently heated raspberries with a blob of ice cream, a cup of coffee and a few squares of dark chocolate... Gotta say I would be very happy with that.

Chaim Poutine (NickB), Thursday, 5 August 2010 07:17 (fifteen years ago)

cozen, Thursday, 5 August 2010 07:20 (fifteen years ago)

First round. Got beaten by eating poop iirc.

Chaim Poutine (NickB), Thursday, 5 August 2010 07:28 (fifteen years ago)

Beer World Cup wd be interesting, to find out which country makes the best beer!

Pizza bc it's my fave application of hard cheese and it's hard to vote for the ingredient over the delicious end product.
Berries vs. Soup is insane and I can't decide.
Eggs vs. Ice Cream is lame bc I think both are kinda w/e and have beaten WAY too many great competitors.
Tacos I guess because chocolate who cares. be different if it were cocoa maybe but w/e

didn't we do a beer poll already?

ledge, Thursday, 5 August 2010 12:18 (fifteen years ago)

yeah but it was not knockout style

Which Country Produces the Best Beer?

ledge, Thursday, 5 August 2010 12:19 (fifteen years ago)

Cheese, berries, ice cream, chocolate.

Pizza is great, but cheese is awesome in so many other forms than just as pizza topping that it'd feel criminal not to vote for it. Neither soups nor berries are among my favourites, but I gotta go for berries here, as soups usually tend to leave me feeling like something is lacking. They're okay as appetizers, but no so special as such, unlike berries. Not the biggest fan of ice cream either, but eggs are so vile I'll always vote against them. Since living in Finland apparently means I've never eaten Real Tacos, it's pretty easy to vote for chocolate, which I at least know is good.

Tuomas, Thursday, 5 August 2010 12:30 (fifteen years ago)

Gotta say, the results here look more vegetarian-friendly than what I thought. I was kinda expecting the semifinals to be meat vs. meat vs. meat vs. pizza...

Tuomas, Thursday, 5 August 2010 12:35 (fifteen years ago)

unnecessary 'apparently'

iatee, Thursday, 5 August 2010 12:35 (fifteen years ago)

Hard Cheeses, Berries, Ice Cream, Chocolate

I love pizza, but I decided last round that I'm gonna vote for hard cheeses as long they're still around

peter in montreal, Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:02 (fifteen years ago)

man youse all hate eggs so bad

"It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:11 (fifteen years ago)

Pizza, Berries, Ice Cream, Tacos

I think Tacos stand a good chance of emerging from this round.

a good pizza where everything's just right is, like, everything the most insane pizza enthusiast says it is & more. and it's communal. there's a place in St Petersburg FL that's run by a bunch of transplanted NJ guys and I was hanging out with friends & like we order out & when the pizzas arrive everybody starts eating and suddenly there's a profound near-silence and everybody realizes at once "holy shit this is a world-class pie" and there are three diff. kinds of pies all goin at once & everybody's all "make sure you try the margherita before you get full" & so forth & knockin back wine with the pizza and it's a beautiful evening at work & I just don't have any hard cheese experiences that can really compare

u got heart guy, so imma let you away with warning this time

"It's far from 'lol' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:43 (fifteen years ago)

I think these kind of polls are unfair to stuff that's just part of a dish, as compared to stuff that's a dish in its own right. Of course a great pizza is better than any hard cheese per se, but I'd still rather give up pizza altogether than give up hard cheeses as part of any food.

Tuomas, Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

You run the next one then.

My totem animal is a hamburger. (WmC), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

Hard Cheeses, Soup, Eggs, Tacos but i am regretting not voting berries.

ghee hee hee (La Lechera), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:50 (fifteen years ago)

basically I just voted against all of the ones that have had vocal supporters

although now I can't remember if I picked eggs or ice cream

Mayor Hickenlooper and the liberal agenda (HI DERE), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:51 (fifteen years ago)

I kinda agree with Tuomas but it's not wise to poke at WmC when his totem animal has been eliminated so recently imo

Pretty strange getting to the last eight foods of all time with no chicken/beef/ham/fish/pastry/spicy racist sauces tbh. I'm just going to have to put all that shit on top of my berry pizza.

sorprendentemente noioso (onimo), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:55 (fifteen years ago)

I have been mocked for years by some of my friends for choosing to order a cheese plate when we went out to a some random trendy place for drinks and dessert several years ago; I haven't done it since but whenever we go out, if there is a cheese plate on the menu they have a 30 second conversation about how I'm going to order it.

Knowing what I know now, I would still order that cheese plate.

Mayor Hickenlooper and the liberal agenda (HI DERE), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:55 (fifteen years ago)

Lost a lot of my interest in this as it's such a poor selection but voting for anything which could knock pizza off its all conquering journey.

State Attorney Foxhart Cubycheck (Billy Dods), Thursday, 5 August 2010 13:57 (fifteen years ago)

I just wanna say I voted soup because I think soup is probably the best thing in the world but berries are still awesome so hate away, would have voted berries over eggs or tacos easy

gross rainbow of haerosmith (underrated aerosmith albums I have loved), Saturday, 7 August 2010 21:48 (fifteen years ago)

pizza beats cheese but it's close
berrries beat soup
eggs vs ice cream - no idea
chocolate beats tacos comfortably

iatee, Saturday, 7 August 2010 22:34 (fifteen years ago)

I think hard cheeses will run pizza closer than any other match it'll face, but I can't see them winning it.

Ice cream v.chocolate would be an interesting semi.

Gravel Puzzleworth, Saturday, 7 August 2010 22:45 (fifteen years ago)

yeah if cheese can't beat pizza it's hard to imagine something else can...maybe chocolate

soup is such a maddening entry in this already maddening championship because it's basically just liquid flavor. that is what soup is, various flavors in liquid form. there is no such food that regarded as "solid flavor" in the most variable sense that would be allowed to go up against all real and actual foods.

i'm assuming that the pizza the americans are voting for isn;t available this side of the pond tbh.

"It's far from 'loi' you were reared, boy" (darraghmac), Sunday, 8 August 2010 03:26 (fifteen years ago)

This is the best pizza restaurant in Britain:

And I've never been there without being amazed, but PIZZA STILL MUST NOT WIN.

That's Chicago-style deep dish pizza. I'll admit it's barely on the fringes of being eligible to really be called pizza, but MY GOD is it delicious.

i think part of the problem is that deep dish pizza is almost always made from inferior ingredients -- cheap cheese, shitty flavorless dough, etc. ime fancy pizza places that care about ingredients don't do the casserole so it's just the gross ones that do (ie giordanos, etc) hence, deep dish pizza is gross. (to me)

but when deep dish pizza is made from good ingredients - like Zachary's in Berkeley, and I hear great things about Little Star in SF - it is amazing and wonderful.
