Why is stromboli not as popular as calzones?
>>21101503uhm, maybe cus they taste like feembrap?
>>21101503The calzone was popularized by an episode from the 1990s sitcom Seinfeld. There was no episode from that show that featured the stromboli.
>>21101506damn, it's been months since I saw a feembrap post
>>21101503that shit is so fucking goodI don't understand the existence of a calzone. it's literally just a pizza that that can burst and spill everywhere
>>21101513Sorry, I've been busy
>>21101503Because that's the name of the child slaver from Pinnochio, unfortunate>>21101514It's just a pizza sandwich
>>21101503looks like she's ready to settle down
not american enough. try deep frying it like panzerotti.
>>21101503My grandmother used to make something called scacciata. It was like a calzone but not filled with cheese. She made it with sausage and broccoli or ground beef and potatoes. Just a little mozzarella and some sauce to hold it all together in a thin crispy crust. The first time I had a calzone I almost threw up because I wasn't expecting a glob of cheese.
no sauce
>>21101738I used to go to a deli in Connecticut that sold something similar but the stuffed breads were all kind of gross. Like, some of them were okay, but others just made me wish I had some tomato sauce and the ingredients didn't taste fresh
not sure i could tell the difference offhand
>>21101508THIS IS THE BEST CALZONE I EVER ATE, GEORGE. GEOOOORGE!
CO-STANZA IS IN THE BUILDING
>>21101503Wasn’t Stromboli a communist?
>>21101503What's the point of Stromboli or Calzone when you can get a pizza? Both are just pizza that is more difficult to eat
>>21101503Calzone has more cheese.
>>21101885stromboli is rolled up so you get layers of filling, calzone is just a pizza folded in half. many lazy mexican run pizza places don't understand the difference either and just make strombolis like calzones though
>>21101986is it normal for them to be pre-sliced like the OP's?i don't think any places around here have these
>>21101503Marketing, really.I like stromboli's more, but they just aren't sold as much as calzones are. They're just less prevalent.
>>21101503i like em both, but id probably perfer the 'zone because its got that rah-got, whereas the 'boli only got mootz typically
>>21101503costco in the 90s used to sell these really good frozen strombolis i loved em as a kid then they just got rid of em and i was never able to find any grocery store ones as good again. i think i remember s'barro in the 90s also making good ones you can get slices of, theirs used to have sesame seeds sprinkled on the doughthese stefano ones i used to get at stop & shops refrigerated section, were the closest i could find in taste to the old csotco frozen ones, but then those disappeared almost a decade or so ago too
>>21102559S'barro was the shit in the 90s, sadly they aint the same today, went to one for the first time in almost 20 years recently, wouldnt even know it was the same place from the malls food courts of the 90s. the one i went anyway was shit and had a few sad looking dried up slices sitting there, no strombolis or stuffed slices like in the old days
>>21102563>>21102559Really baffles me that America loved that shit even back then but the Sausage roll passed them by.
>>21101503Stromboli is delicious but cooking it in foil is absolutely a crime.
>>21101986i ordered a stromboli in Indiana once and it was a sausage sandwich
>>21101880That looks foul
>>21102665Sausage rolls are a big deal in Texas and they are way better than what Brits make
>>21101503>strombolis = parasols>calzonis = umbrellasThat's why.
>>21101503My parents used to own a pizza restaurant when I was young and I'd eat stromboli, never had a calzone until more recently I've always been a boli bro they're just better.
>>21101503Because the inside is damp and wet like the armpit of an Italian pizza maker.
>>21102003yeah some places by me do that. well sorta.
>>21101503>Why is stromboli not as popular as calzones?Too much pepperoni, not enough sausage.
>>21103297That's not a sausage roll and let's not pretend that you've left your state enough to have a valid opinion, sister-fucker
>>21103297we call them kolaches and there are more in that category than just the humble sausage roll
>>21102563>sadly they aint the same today, went to one for the first time in almost 20 years recently, wouldnt even know it was the same place from the malls food courts of the 90s.Dunno, it launched quite recently here in the UK, and is quite popular. They've even got drive thru pizzas here now
>>21103297>they are way better than what Brits makeyour picrel looks dry as fuck. biscuit dough with factory hot dogsmeanwhile we take puff pastry and fill it with home made sausage meat.WEARE BETTERTHAN YOU
>>21104080as usual texas thinks they are superior and fails terribly. i remember when there was a 2 week power outage due to some cold weather and some texan was on here cooking on a teflon pan in his mcmansion fireplace thinking he was country as fuck and got ragged on mercilessly until he rage-quiot his own thread.happy memories
>>21103618That is a calzone.
>>21102665And we still don't have munchie boxes, either
>>21103297yuck. I’d shoot a Tejan before Id ever let one touch my food
>>21104080>>21105347absolutely seething. they are soft and right out the oven. greggs rolls look like fucking shit compared to what we got
>>21101503The big question is why don't pizza shops sell calzones wrapped in a pizza like a cannoli?
