pizza toppings

Dear friendslist,

I've just had the most weird pizza ordering conversation evar. When ordering a second custom pizza for myself, [livejournal.com profile] cuvalwen and [livejournal.com profile] guvngladys, the pizzaman couldn't stop laughing at me. So tell me, oh friendslist, is chicken tandoori, chicken tikka, mango, mushroom and broccoli such an absurd topping combo???

Yours, bewildered...

I'd have thought steak and chips pizza was more suitable for [livejournal.com profile] guvngladys...

Whose idea was the broccoli? Has Count Duckula joined you?

Naw, it's only weird if you put anchovies on it.

Being Italian, the mere idea of seeing chicken and fruit on a pizza repels me, but I understand how different nations offer different toppings according to the local taste. When I lived in England, I used to eat pizza with pinapple myself, so I cannot really judge your choice. Hope the taste was good, though! :)

the only one of those I wouldn't put on a pizza is mango, but I've never been one for fruit on pizza (e.g. pineapple). Nothing wrong with broccoli though...

When I lived in Brixton, a pizza takeaway near us offered the most ridiculously long list of toppings ever... I think we once contrived to have a pizza with chicken, turkey, duck, lamb, beef and pork (sausage) on it for sextuple-meat goodness. We had three choices of different kinds of duck too ;)

Broccoli does not belong in this picture.

I'm assuming they are all offered as toppings (I doubt the pizza place offers to nip to the shops for anything that springs to mind) thus how you choose to combine them is up to you and it's not for the pizza guy to comment.

You'd have mango chutney with a curry so I see that, not sure the broccoli melds that well - it's not really an Indian veg but I am a fan of having veggies on a mainly meat pizza, would probably have chosen onions myself
