My brain had a really hard time with the scale of the items on the plate. Where does one get a pizza the diameter of two dino nuggets, topped with tiny pepperoni?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe, hear me out, the pizza is normal size, but everything else is just huge.

I legitimately went through a brief phase of entertaining that concept before deciding to use the Spaghetti-O’s as the scale anchor. It’s still entirely possible at this point.

If this is British - and it does look like British tapas - then that could well be a Chicago Town frozen mini pizza. They’re…not great, but they are convenient.

It is British, this is:

  • Chicago Town Microwave Pepperoni Pizza.
  • Bernard Matthews Turkey dinosaurs
  • Potato smiles
  • Chicken dippers
  • Chicken fingers (all four above by McCains)
  • Cajun Curly fries
  • Heinz Spaghetti Hoops
  • Birds Eye Potato Waffles

It's a lovely bit of beige, and nice for a treat, but I'd rather have something a bit...less processed?

It is British, and it is a complete list of things my 7-year-old British son eats.

What are the grid shaped ones?

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, missed those. They're birds eye potato waffles.

Good work!

Man, I want those tiny pizzas. I’d cook up a stack of ‘em, separate with wax paper, and keep ‘em as a snack on the go.

Fuckin pocket pizzas you kiddin me?

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not gonna lie, they're great for what they are. In five mins you'll have something that's kinda like a pizza, that tastes nice, and is so hot you can heat a three bedroom house for an hour or two.

You do know that pizza can be made in any size right?

Same with sausages

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure, but the rest are convenience foods. There’s nothing convenient about making a tiny pizza from scratch, and I’ve never seen anything like it in the frozen foods section.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I live in the states, they're pretty common. They usually come in a little foil lined box with microwave instructions 😕

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I’ve seen Celeste pizzas, but this one appears to be half that size.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Publix sells pizza-ready doughs, rip some off, flatten, put some jar sauce, pre-shredded cheese, and sprinkly with tiny pepperoni, bake that's like 2 minutes of work.

The confusing thing about this pizza (to me at least) is the crust. The smaller you make the crust, the harder it is to make it consistently shaped. Being a small pizza, the crust must also be very small, and this is an incredibly consistent crust thickness.
