"rowt"
"gooda"- what word is this?
You don't know Gouda? The cheese? Pretty much one of the most common cheese types in the world.
I have honestly never heard of that cheese, but I guess I don't really eat cheese much so that explains it. I know american, yellow, and swiss haha that's it.
actually yeah I know Parmesan and Mozzarella as well.
I don't eat cheese at all, that's no excuse! :P
Oh, and by "Swiss" you probably mean Ementaler, right? What the heck is yellow cheese though? Haha.
*Emmentaler
Hell, I DON'T even know what yellow cheese is hahaha. I go out, they ask if I want "Swiss, yellow, or white American cheese" and I just tell them throw some white cheese on there haha. It's about the only time I've ever even talked about cheese before. That or reading what type of cheese is on a pizza.
What is white cheese? Haha.
Well, on American pizza, or generally non-Italian / not original pizza, there is usually just some standard cheese (for instance, Gouda...). But on original pizza there's usually Mozarella.
Yeah, I didn't even know they put Gouda on pizza. Everywhere I have ever gone the standard here is Mozzarella. Though I've also had buffalo Mozzarella as well because my friend is this high quality pizza "chef" and insisted. I can't remember the last time I had any type of fast food type pizza. I always go to little mom and pop pizzerias
Sounds like you eat better pizza than most Americans.
Yeah, it's just because of where I live. Just outside of NYC. We really do have the best pizza in the country.
Definitely. Thanks to all the Italians there. :)
Exactly. I had a pizza place right near me for a while, they were from brooklyn, half of them spoke nothing but Italian. It was the best damn pizza I ever had, period. Even when I went TO New York, some how the pizza was even better than them. But then they decide to move back to New York and I haven't had pizza like that since. My friend makes neapolitan specialty pizzas. They are very good, but you can't really compare them to that small time traditional pizza shop pizza. They are just two different beasts entirely.
I've been to Naples several times before. Best pizza in the world.
It is REALLY good, but it's also different. To me, they aren't even comparable because they are just so different. When I'm in the mood for Neapolitan pizza, I'm not in the mood for that traditional mom and pop shop stuff and visa versa. My friend works at a place that actually imported the wood burning oven FROM Naples. It costed SO much, but it gives such a distinct taste, it is wonderful.
Ither/Nither
Antee
Gahrahsh
Root
Don't know that word lol
You don't know one of the most popular kinds of cheese? :O
hahahaha I've never actually seen it spelled out.
I say that as gooda
Just a heads up--route is pronounced "root", but router is more of a "rowter" sound.
But a lot of people say "rowt" to "route"...
I can guarantee that in the US it will depend upon the region lol
I'm aware of that. Haha.
