The Pieman's Craft: Paulie Gee's 'Egyptian Move' Pizza-Dough-Stretching Technique

Hmm here in Denmark nearly all pizza makers do it this way...that both italians, turkish people, parkistani etc....a few uses a rolling pen or something similar, but that is mainly the less-good pizzarias.

How Much Should You Tip on Pizza Delivery?

Around here an average salary for a pizza delivery guy is between $18-$22/hour which I see as a decent pay for that kind of job. Some people tip but it's not "required" and the delivery guys will actually be happy to get the tip instead of constantly being unhappy with too small tips.
It's a broken salary system when people have to rely on getting tips (which unfortunately is very common in most states)

How Much Should You Tip on Pizza Delivery?

I would NEVER tip the pizza delivery guy......it's his job and his salary should be paid by his employer (which again should get the money from the customers through the prices).

Poll: How many slices is 'lunch'?

1 is snack, 2 is a large snack.....I usually go for the whole pie for lunch (around here we have small lunch-pies with a diagonal size of 30cm/12")

Snapshots from the UK: How the English Eat

Becca: how difficult can it be to use your left hand to move the fork from the plate to your mouth? The knife is not just used for cutting it is also used as a "blocker" that pushes the food onto the fork when the fork is moved towards the fixed knife.

Snapshots from the UK: How the English Eat

Fork shifting has always seemed quite primitive to me. Reminds me of small children where the parents have to split everything into tiny pieces before handing the kid a fork/spoon. Guess the Americans never grew away from that habit. Around here it (Scandinavia) it is considered impolite to cut everything into tiny pieces before starting to shovel away the food :-) We do not pile up everything like the Brits do, but instead we cut one, maybe two, mouth-fitting pieces of the meat/potatoes gently add a bit of sauce (if available) and then send it directly to the mouth. Chewing is done with mouth closed and you don't talk while chewing (another thing I often see Americans do). When done eating, the fork and knife are joined together to make a line going from the middle of the dish and towards the lower right of the plate (4o'clock if you think of the plate as being a clock).

Why Can't You Get a Good Slice Outside New York City? 'Wired' Magazine Says It's the Water

if the water had anything to do with it, then all NYC pizzas would be crap. The water in NYC (and most other big US cities) is more a chemical experiment than what is known to the rest of the world as H2O.
Difference? Historically there have been many Italians in that area and they have build up a tradition for the NYC pizza (compared to real Italian pizzes, these are still not that good).

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Amateur Gourmet'

A one of my girlfriends birthdays I was in charge of baking the cakes. At some point where I should have grabbed the container with sugar, I accidentally picked the one with finegrained salt. I was in a hurry so I didn't even notice it before it was waaaay to late and the cake was ready to be served. Luckily I had a lot of cookies and candy to replace the inedible cakes.
