For some reason I only really like green bell peppers when they're raw - I'm not a big fan of the sliminess they become when cooked. But red or yellow peppers, I have no problem with... weird.

Poblano peppers are good, but my favorite is habenero Don't know if I'd stuff them, tho! ...but I add julienned habanero (and garlic) to all my stir-fries

Hint: You don't need gloves when slicing very hot peppers -- just freeze them first! Need to slice one, just grab it out of the freezer, by the stem, then slice away... don't use the whole thing? Just return it to the bag for next time... Frozen peppers apparently last at least 2 years in the freezer (I still have a bunch in there I grew 2 years ago that are just fine!)... but once they're cut, use them within a few weeks at least...

I'm reminded of my father, who could eat green peppers or red ones without a problem - but yellow ones made him quite ill. Strange, the way some digestive systems work.



You, sir, are either a sadist or a masochist; I'm not sure which.

Perhaps a little of both!

A co worker of mine always made these for any work luncheon. Every where she goes people want her to make this recipe. I tried it at home. I think they're good, but my daughter found them too sweet. You put the jelly and chili sauce on the bottom and let them melt, then put the meatballs on top.

Meatballs belong in a sunday gravy with macaroni, on a hero, or in a brown cocktail sauce.

Period!

I agree! (but remember the name of this thread).

Ok. Meatballs and Grape Jelly or Cheddar Cheese Pizza!

EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Anyone ever have fried Macaroni and Cheese bites?

No but if it is anything like the crunchy part of mac and cheese it must be good.

Who here puts ketchup on their scrambled eggs? I remember as a kid my siblings did, and I did too. Now I can't think of 2 food groups that belong more apart then eggs and ketchup.

Must be a Maryland thing.

My neighbor makes something similar to that. I know he uses grape jelly when he cooks his meatballs.

And they're delicious!

Earlier in the summer my daughter had them when she went down to Belmar Beach at the Jersey Shore.

Then a few weeks ago I took the day off to go with the family to Belmar Beach. After the beach we went to this place for a late afternoon lunch / early dinner and my daughter ordered them as an appetizer. I have to admit that they were really really good!

Me! I completely forgot about that.

In Pittsburgh we have a restaurant called Primanti Brothers. Most people find their sandwiches weird, but they're absolutely delicious. You can get almost any kind of sandwich, with coleslaw and french fries on it. Now that I'm thinking about it, I really want to go to Pittsburgh right now.

I've been told that the act of putting Ketchup on scrambled eggs supposedly originated in the Military because they used powdered eggs and the soldiers used to smother them in Ketchup in order to cover up the horrible taste of powdered eggs.

Don't know how true it is, but that's what I've been told.

It was the damn Irish!

Coffee grounds aren't bad. My cat loves them.

So does my fiancee.

What about meatballs in a monday gravy or any other day of the week gravy?

This is a well known topping and not really weird to most people except me, but.......I love pineapple and I love ham, but please keep both off of a pizza. One's a Sunday dinner and one's a good juice. They don't belong on pizza.

TIS - You're finally coming around!! God bless ya!

They now have some kind of Mexican pizza with jalapenos. I can't even imagine that. It's simply not a pizza anymore.

Thats what I've been saying all along. I'm a traditionalist. Pizza should be sauce and cheese on a crust. Start adding some God-awful toppings to it and it just ain't pizza anymore.

There should be a law against calling that crap "pizza".

I can't even get past ham and pineapples as a toppings. And that's going back probably 10 years.

You guys have no imagination whatsoever!

What about keeping with just "Italian" items?

What about ziti? Zito pizza is great!

I once got a meatball/chicken/veal parm pie... awesome.

What about a White Pie (usually mozzarella, ricotta and broccoli (or sliced tomato) -- no tomato sauce? (I'd add garlic to that one) Awesome!

I did try a Shrimp Scampi pizza from one of the good places around here, but that was just nasty - but not because of the ingredients, but how it came out ...but I'd try it again somewhere else!

Granted, standard pizza is the best -- but "gourmet" pizzas are a good alternative, too! Taste great, and more filling

And you call yourself an Italian! Shame on you... thats an infamnia!!

You should have the final vowel removed from your last name!!!

Infamnia?? Do you think they serve AMERICAN-STYLE pizza in Italy???? NO!

Perhaps, but I doubt they serve all that crapola that you like on your pizza over there either. There's nothing wrong in eating the kitchen sink on a slice.... just don't call it pizza!

There are many varieties of pizza... some of those are kinda odd, tho...! But I'm sure still tasty

????!!!! Perhaps not that one!
