@nostrildamus that mussel pizza is just wrong.
Correct. If it’s white, it’s wrong.
Oh and racist.

And privileged. Probably filled with self loathing as well

Strangely I cant find the flour they stock on their website but their is plenty of good "00" flour around.
I watched a doco on Netflix or Disney+, they were in Naples and the local farmer was saying how proper San Marzano tomatoes only grow in a very small area, and that most of what the world gets aren't proper. The. Italian stuff still looks a whole lot brighter than our local stuff

yeah, their climate is so well suited to it. We seem to use greenhouses.
Was in Farro this morning buying low moisture mozarella for pizza... weirdly cheaper than normal stuff. Anyhoo, their cherry tomato selection (impressive though it is) was $40/kg. FFS, inflation is insane.
@Crucial used these ones - came up good with a bit of draining and some salt.

Your culinary cancel culture won't stop me!

@nostrildamus while I respect your fight against pc (pizza correctedness) white sauce adds nothing except for texture. It's a flavour no go zone.
As for the idea of having to deal with shells on a pizza. One of the advantages of pizza is that is fuss free.
Seriously, IMO that has to be one of the stupidest recipes I have ever read. It epitomises what is so wrong with a lot of modern cuisine. So called style over substance. The mussels are already cooked so WTF is the point of the shell?
A recipe for the Instagram age. God help us!

hehe I agree, I wouldn't add shells and I suspect I'd find the sauce too creamy.
Still going to try a variant one day though

@nostrildamus Id steam the mussels in a tomato base with some garlic and a little sake and use this as my pizza sauce and then just grate some lemon zest over the mussels and sprinkle with fresh thyme

sounds more Italian (apart from the sake!) Not bad!

Question for the collective Fern wisdom (such as it is)
I need to take a dessert away and serve it 24 hours after travelling. Currently thinking a couple fo cakes (feeding 10 people) - anyone have any good ideas for alternatives that are easy to transport and last well?

What NZ shit?
Just about every can of tomatoes sold in NZ is imported.
If you can’t read the label to see the origin….
You certainly get whet you pay for with canned tomatoes but you can find a compromise between price and quality easy enough. -

Obviously avoid fresh ingredients such as cream.
Can you finish the dish at the other end or will you be pulling it out of your bag and plonking it on the table? -

How about an olive oil lemon cake (robust enough to transport) maybe with some freeze dried raspberries through it. Can make a lemon syrup to soak with at the other end and serve with some shaken cream or thick yogurt.

I suspect that Watties is probably Asian (Thai), Delmaine is usually relabelled Italian (lower grade but not too low)
