        @Tago-Mago to me olives taste how I imagine the bottom of an ashtray tastes

        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
        Well, I have others.

              @sabergirl au contraire! Anchovies, nduja/spicy salsiccia, black olives is the ultimate pizza. If there's garlic oil around I'll take that, too

              Anchovies. Also elite.

                  Hell yes. Add all 3 with some parsley and olive oil and you’ve got the brine topping of all brine toppings. Stolen from here:

                  Edit: mods, please feel free to move to the cooking thread. Really is a recipe worth giving a try

                      Disclaimer – this is an unpopular opinion, and I appreciate that trainers are widely worn today.

                      For those of you who wear trainers with Iron Heart gear (other than shorts), I'm genuinely curious about your perspective. Iron Heart's work is, in my view, incredibly high-quality and aesthetically refined, and personally, I don't see trainers fitting that same aesthetic or quality standard as, say, good boots or traditional shoes. There are so many excellent quality boots and shoes that pair really well.

                      So, for those who do, what's the appeal or reasoning behind that pairing for you? I'm trying to understand the different style choices.

                      (And to clarify slightly, I do differentiate between sneakers like Chucks or Old Skools, and more performance-oriented trainers like Air Force Ones or New Balance.)

                      Just to revisit my unpopular opinion.

                      I went to see Tropical Fuck Storm in Camden last night. There was a very tall and attractive blond lady wearing a very short skirt, lingerie suspenders and fishnet stockings. All good so far.... BUT she was wearing a pair of trail running trainers!! Why! 😞

                                    @flannel-slut I love Matty Mattheson, and this sandwich looks lovely. Since it has anchovies in the relish, I think it belongs here in unpopular opinions. 🙂 I'm going to try that relish someday. I'm a sucker for anything with capers. The anchovies and olives are a nice touch, but the parsley brings it all together!

                                      @sabergirl What if the anchovies don't come in a can? I sometimes get marinated white anchovies in the refrigerated section that are bright and acidic. They're fantastic and nothing like your typical salty anchovies.

                                        I’m just not into them. I’ve tried to like smelts and anchovy and the whole gamut. Not really a big seafood person in general 🤷
