Limes are pretty cheap here. Lemons are not. I got a bag of 6 large lemons
for $5.99. One of the lemons had such a thick peel, there wasn't much lemon
in it.

I haven't tried Ricotta on pizza but it should be good as it's in Calzones.

I see no reason why an American pizza has to conform to Italian, or Euro, specs. This is the new world, not the old one. Americans can do anything they want. Here's my blueberry and marshmallow azzip.

Yes, everybody can do anything they want. It may lead to some
confusion if one deviates very much from the original meaning, but we
shall overcome that.

Mozzarella cheese is also very easy to make. Done that a few times but
also don't use it often enough to continue.

Indeed. That was about a third of the toppings available. I'd like to see
what everything on it looks like. I had mine with a pesto on the bottom. My
son had a more restrained pizza. Perhaps this is the future of pizza.

From our buffalo, of course. Actually never heard of using buffalo
milk. We used whole cow's milk.

Buffalo milk is the traditional milk used in Italy for making
mozzarella. Cow's milk is considered an inferior substitute.

You're the average American and it's a very American pizza. That's a

Meh. I don't like fresh mozzarella. It's the tofu of the cheese
world. It always makes me think, "Damn, this might be tolerable
if they'd used some frickin' salt when they made it."

Then again, I've never had Mozzarella di Bufala. Perhaps it wouldn't
be quite so bland.

I've had it when we lived in Malta. Whether it was the real stuff or
Maltese I don't know.

Can't say we were thrilled with it.

Master, be damn careful when you sniff a buffalo's ass. They have a

We're talking ricotta. My friend said you need some kind of starter to make
Mozzarella.

I like it in Caprese salad. What I don't like is Burratta. Far too bland and
creamy.

It is still a light flavor but much better than the bland stuff. I had
it in Italy and was able to get it at a store in Providence but have not
seen it here.

Your friend, like you, is an idiot. Milk, citric acid, rennet. That's
it.

Fresh cheeses all have an underlying similarity. Paneer is very easy
to make. Well, it is if you're not an idiot, Droolie. That leaves you
out.

You need rennet and it is readily available mail order.

Were I selling "traditional" buffalo milk mozzarella and Joe Blow was
selling "cow´s milk" mozzarella, I would do my best to bemoan, belittle
and besmirch Joe's product, even if "I" was a whole country. That´s
just good business.

It's the real thing vs. a cheaper replacement.

This "everything" you speak of is a flawed concept. I've always wanted to
try a pizza crust with cream cheese, lox and capers. What´s not to like? I
think I could make that! I would have to make gravlax, because I can´t
afford the amount of lox it would take, but gravlax is easy.

And thatEURTMs exactly what I would tell potential customers. The other
stuff may be terrific and tastier than mine, but itEURTMs not the real
thing. This ersatz item, way better and cheaper than mine, is not the real
thing.
We have Holland tulips and neighborhood tulips that look and last better, but
theyEURTMre not the real thing.

A tulip is a tulip. A Dutch tulip comes from the Netherlands, even if
the neighbourhood tulip is better. Some things are as simple as they
seem. Buy neighbourhood tulips!

You´d think, but many families were ruined by Dutch tulips. You should
care.

By the way, that´s a citation. When politics aren´t involved, Wikipedia

Yeah, but that's hundreds of years ago.

But you have weird ideas. You think European countries are communist,
for instance. Of course you won't find that confirmed in Wikipedia.
