      No fuck it. I’ll never understand how people are so obsessed with something like nutella so much that they don’t even care what it is. I’m pretty sure most people you ask tell you it’s chocolate. It’s palm oil hazelnut shit.

      Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I’ve heard.

      Dr Oerker was founded by a nazi. Probably still controlled and owned by nazis. Check Wikipedia for their family history.

      Edit: not all German companies, this one specifically, check my answer below for details. Also some companies supported and profited from the nazi regime but aren’t affiliated anymore. They changed ownership, renounced their past and the ideology and eventually made reparations. I don’t believe this is the case with Dr Oetker but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

          Definitely not, lot of good German companies. on my phone so didn’t make a detailed essay, which is why I encouraged you to read Wikipedia.

          For those who can’t be bothered:

          During the 1930s and 1940s, Rudolf-August Oetker was an active member of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. The company supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to German troops. The business used slave labour in some of its facilities. A bronze bust of Richard Kaselowsky still sits within the company headquarters in Bielefeld. Kaselowsky was killed during an air raid on Bielefeld in 1944.[2] The Oetker Family is among those German families, who have profited most from their close relations to the Nazi regime.[3]

          I have to correct the original founder might not be a nazi. His grand son defined was.

          The company is still privately held by the same family, and controlled

          Richard Oetker, August Oetker’s brother, took over as CEO in 2010.

          Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Oetke

          Edit: before someone try to paint me as some anti German strawman. I like Germany, and went there multiple time, for works, vacation and the ccc congresses and camps And it actually pained me to learn the company history because I actually liked their pizza.

    “Hey siri, give me a list of all the terrorist and militant groups that have killed more innocent people and destabilized more countries in a fragile position than Nestle willingly has purely in the pursuit of more profit?”

    Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

    As far as I can tell they’re even from Italy.

    We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

    But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

      Yes pineapple, in moderation.

      The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.

      The Crosta & Mollica Stromboli has ruined all other pizza for me. It’s infinitely superior to everything except perhaps a genuine Italian fresh from the pizza oven.

            @Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes

            Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent

                I honestly have no idea. From wikipedia:

                Flying Jacob Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.

                That didn’t help much on understanding it. And those are just your regular banans, not the kind you can get from chinese restaurant or something like that.

                  Plantains? But smaller, bit more bitter, absolutely banging in a Jamaican curry? Or fried…fuck…now I’m hungry…

                  That sounds hideous.

                  One thing I grew up eating, and I know a few other people who did as well, we all seem to be from North American families of Scottish descent, but have been in NA for the Great Depression…

                  Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. I know it sounds disgusting, but it is legitimately good. Big glass of milk of the side.

        Kiwis, no… Australians… maybe (jk)

        No, I’m a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeños and chorizo are my usual

          Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza…except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese…

    I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.
