I thought for a minute that I had come to DeadJournal or something by mistake.

Clocks have gone back and I'm now walking home in the dark, ugh.

ETA: is 'ground beef' not American-speak for mince? If so, on pizza?

Isn't good, is it?

Ground beef and mincemeat are not the same thing. From what I understand, mincemeat has fruit and spices in it. Unless by "mince" you just mean chopped up very small, then yes, it could be the same. (Though I've never heard anyone refer to meat this way.)

Mince is the ordinary British term for meat put through a shredder, 'steakmince' if it's from a named part of the animal. Mincemeat is the Christmas stuff. 'Ground beef' sounds to me like you're bashing it with stones, whereas mince definitely has blades involved.

Haha. It must be the same then. We usually use the term "mince" to refer to chopping something, usually garlic, onion, ginger, etc., very small.

Yes, ground beef is mince. People put very strange things on pizza these days (I have seen at least one takeaway offering a doner kebab pizza!)

Yeah, they also had tandoori chicken. I'm kind of thinking, 'if you want an Indian, go and get an Indian and stop messing about with the pizza'. But then, I think pineapple on pizza is an abomination.

[white_hart]

Oh, I totally agree about the pineapple!

Mmmmm, pineapple pizza . . .

Blech!

I have had mince on pizza. I do not recommend it. Mind, I once had an English breakfast pizza with black pudding, and so long as you didn't think about it being pizza, it was really rather good.

If it had been the Ulster breakfast, you would have had to have had fried soda or potato bread, which would be exceedingly weird. Although, if you could make a giant round soda....
