TWIGLET PIZZA (a new chapter in fine cuisine)

[system11]

I invented a new thing.



For those who live somewhere without Twiglets, which is a sad place indeed, theyre little baked snacks with a yeast extract coating. I also used a very thin film of Marmite (which is pretty much the same stuff) instead of pizza sauce.

And it tasted good! I did overcook the cheese a little though - lesson learned.

Fine dining indeed!

I read the title as "Twilight Pizza" and was hoping for a thread about a Twilight Princess hack involving pizza.

I was only slightly disappointed when I realized my mistake. FYI: If anyone in the US is having a tough time finding Twiglets, you can get them on Amazon.

I'm so down for one of these, nice work. You've made me curious about other wild Pizza related recipes now.

[system11]

Ingredients:
Marmite
Pizza base
Mozerella cheese (pre-grated for the lazy)
Mini Twiglets

Directions (if you have a fan oven):
1) Ignore the instructions on the pizza base.
2) Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
3) Lightly grease a baking tray and put the base on it.
4) Spread Marmite on the base - VERY THINLY, it's strong stuff.
5) Sprinkle Mozerella on, fairly thick but don't drown it.
6) Place in the oven for 5 minutes.
7) Add Twiglets, return to the oven for another 2 minutes.

That should be spot on, mine was slightly overdone as I went for 6 minutes then 2, and the cheese bubbled a little too much.

Do Americans and other EU folk know what twiglets are? never seen them for sale outside the uk.

[system11]

I know, it's a bit like Africa out there, poor guys :/ No decent chocolate, and no Twiglets.

[TransatlanticFoe]

Not had Twiglets in years! Definitely don't have the advertising profile they once had

Can't decide if this is weirder than the spaghetti bolognase pizza (is exactly what the name suggests) a local pub does.

We have Andy Capp fries...I guess those don't count; I won't even ask.

I was afraid you were going to say something about pizzas that sparkle in the daytime!

@ BM: That looks strangely arousing to my tastes...marmite pizza huh. Is it savory?

Yes.

[SuperGrafx]

They look a bit like pretzel sticks.
Haven't really thought about trying them on a pizza though.
Looks good nevertheless.

[moh]

looks delish.

never heard of twiglets before though.

[KAI]

Looks nice, but not as good as a choripan

[ShmupSamurai]

Man, I wish the US had friggin' Twiglets....

Ya know what could be even better than Twiglet Pizza?.. Combining Twiglet Pizza with soup, to create.....TWIGLET NEO KOBE PIZZA!!!

YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME WITH CHORIPAN ALONE

We also have meat empanadas



Fuck, all this talking about autochthonous food and I'm having cup ramen for dinner.

Across the pond stateside, a new Pizza Hut Carry Out joint opened up recently. It's cool that they accept orders via on-line in addition to accepting the old standby of phone-in orders. I recall that the various Meat Lover's lineup of pizzas that they used to make back in the mid-1980s were much better than what is made/sold nowdays. The usual waiting time is about 15 minutes which is fairly average (unless it's "crunch time" when it can take upwards of up to 30-35 minutes if many phone-in or on-line orders are placed). Even walk-in orders are more than welcome as well. The pizza wars between the American pizza chains (Pizza Hut, Domino's, Ceasar's, Papa Murphy's, Papa John's, Uno's, Shakey's, etc.) are still on-going -- it never ends.

Interesting way of creating a new pizza variant, system11. I'm sure it's quite tasty indeed. Have you thought about opening up a pizza joint to sate the public's taste with your new pizza creation? It could be the start of something big.

Next time, use Marstons Marmite or Marmite XO.

I have yet to try the golden variety

The ltd edition golden type - that's what I used, it tastes the same.

[cools]

Hmm. I can tell the difference between the Marstons/XO/Original... I'll have to get the Limited.

You can order Twiglets through this website. Also have Marmite in supplies.

I read the title as "Piglet Pizza" and wondered what trouble Winnie the Pooh's little friend had gotten into.

It's actually not too hard to find Marmite around here, since several of the supermarkets have a small British food section mixed in with the other ethnic foods. I don't think I've ever seen Twiglets though, although I suspect I could get them from a specialty British food store in the next town over.

I'm curious, what do they consider "British Food"?

[Pyongyang]

Marmite XO.

[Mortificator]

never heard of twiglets before though.

Ditto on the twiglets, and I only learned what marmit is, like, a week ago, when I heard it mentioned on some show and looked it up. I knew what vegemite was, though, and I guess they're kind of similar.

[Lordstar]

US people! if you are ordering tees from me request a bag of twiglets for free just quote the code TWIGLETSBITCH when ordering your tees. *while stocks last*

There aren't a whole lot of items on the shelf, and I think a lot of the stuff that's there is Heinz stuff (beans, soups, a couple of puddings including the notorious Spotted Dick.) I'd have to go over and take a closer look, maybe I'll do so after work today. I do know that they have Marmite and occasionally Vegemite, but I've never tried either one (seems to be a "love it or hate it" deal for most people.)

[Ed Oscuro]

Twiglets or the un-licorice?
Though I've never had them, my bet's on twiglets even in a fruit pizza. (I think they're called "pies.")
